NEW YORK Nov. 3. Another man, i

with a statement regarding the shooting
of Caesar Young, the turfman, for whose
death Nan Patterson, an actressr has
been under Indictment several months.
He has been mentioned perviously as the i
"red-headed man," who a moment after
the shooting Jumped on the step of the

were riding.
John Latour, as the man Is known.
pleaded iruilty a few days ago to steal

ing he says he was jon his way Home,
when he heard the shot and ran after the
cab. Jumping to the step, he declares
he plainly saw the fatal pistol in Young's
hands, indicating that the horseman snot
himself. He called to the woman, ad
vising that Young be taken to a drug
store near by and then went on his way.
Arriving at home he told his wife what he

learn that he had once been in prison and
