STEP IN State Outlines Its Case Against the Actress Accused of Killing Caesar Young, : and Several Wit nesses Are Examined. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. The trial of Nab Patterson for the murder of Bookmaker Caesar Young was fairly begun before Justice Davis in the Supreme Court today,- and when adjournment was taken at 4 o'clock this afternoon Assistant District Attorney Rand had concluded his outline of the state's case, and had examined several of the witnesses for the prosecu tion. There was not an unusually large crowd in the court this morning, but when the doors were opened for the afternoon ses sion there was a rush to gain admittance which swept the squad of court officers off their feet The main floor of the Criminal Court building was a solid mass of people, and those who had business in the court bad to fight to reach the vestibule. The crush became serious in a short time and police were called In from the street to aid in maintaining order. "Whether Miss Patterson will go on tne stand to testify In her own behalf has not been decided. The first witness presented by the prose cution, Harold M. Cole, a photographer, brought forth an objection from the de fense. Mr. Levy held that no photo graphs or diagrams should be Introduced as evidence, as the exact spot where the shooting occurred is not known. The objection was withdrawn, and Cole identified a set of seven photographic view3 of that portion of "West Broadway where the shooting occurred. The first witness to be called from among those who were In the vicinity of the cab where Young was shot was Wil liam J. "Junior, a policeman. Hb saw the hansom coming up "West Broadway when It was about 50 feet from where he stood. He could see but one of the occupants. Miss Patterson. His attention had been called to a commotion in the cab by a citizen, and as the vehicle drew up ho ordered the driver to stop. As he climbed up on the step he saw a man whosfe body had been concealed by the closed -door. The man was unconscious. Miss Patterson told him that her com panion had shot himself, and he ordered the cabman to drive to a hospital. In the meantime he had found a revolver In the right-hand pocket of Young's coat. The witness then Identified a revolver as the one he had found and It was admitted in evidence. Junior said he arrested Miss Patterson at the hospital. On cross-examination he said that when he reached the cab Young's head Was lying In Miss Patterson's lap. His left arm was around her shoulder. Miss Pat terson was hysterical and was crying. "Oh, Caesar, what have you done?" Edward Joseph Qulnn, the detective who accompanied Miss Patterson from the hos pital to the Tomb3 just after she had been arrested, told o a conversation be tween himself and the prisoner. "After she had asked me if I was a po liceman,"' said the witness, "she said: 'Caesar Young" Is a married man, and he and I are lovers. He Is going away and we may never see each other again.' She then asked me if Caesar Young was dead, and when I replied that he was, she said: 'I don't want to live now. "Why should he kill himself? He had every thing to live for.' " Qulnn said that Miss Patterson fainted several times in the station-house. She was very nervous and asked him to kill her. saying she had nothing to live for, now that Caesar was dead. Qulnn said Miss Patterson told him she was looking out of tho cab when Young shot himself. At this point the court adjourned until 10:30 tomorrow morning. Mr. Rand, la opening the case for the state, said: "In this case we will take you to the scene and Introduce you to persons who visit the racetrack and all-night Tender loin cafes, and patronize the roving cab men. Young came to this country 14 years ago from England, and from that time he was always on the go from racetrack to racetrack, always making money. He possessed traits that a man ought not to be proud of, but he had other traits that will recommend him to you. He was a fair gambler who gave honest odds and never welched. He was a man of pre possessing appearance, with a -frank face and pleasing eye. "He was singularly susceptible to tho charms of women and It was easy for a woman to work her way Into his affec tions. After meeting tho woman who then called herself Nan Randolph, no mat ter where races were won and books were made. Young and Nan were to be found there together. "In March," 1904, In his sane senses, at his wife's pleading. Young decided to shake Nan Patterson. She was given 5S00 to leave him. I am compelled to show tho relation that existed between Young and this woman. "This evidence will not be milk for babies; therefore, let us be strong enough to face the truth, though we would far rather turn aside." DECLARES HESAW MURDER. Young Man May Solve Mysterious Case of Chicago Chauffeur. CHICAGO. Nov. 2L J. O'Brien; an un dertaker of Lemont notified the police today that he had found a man who saw the murder of Chauffeur Bate committed. Ho said he would bring the man to the police in the morning, but tonight he posi tively refused to disclose his Identity. It was at Lamont In his automobile, that youmr Bate was found dead. "I have received word," said O'Brien. "from a young man who lives lh a small Village near Lamont that he saw the murder committed, and that he will meet me in the morning and give me all the information he has about the murder." According to O'Brien, the man declared that he had seen the murder, but did not come forward with his information be cause he did not wish any notoriety. "When clews proved so hard to find, he decided to tell what he knows. The Chicago police and detectives put in a hard day on the case. The fact that the mysterious "Mr. uove, who ordered the machine from the Auditorium HoteL has not anneared to aid in solving the problem, caused" the police to believe that beyond doubt the passenger with the checked suit and the red necktie Is the man they are seeklnsr. That "Dove" had two victims is a new theory developed by the discovery of oiooa unaer tne cusnion of the rear seat of the automobile. One theory Is "Dove' was able to escape without being seen by men who would remember him Jn the light of tne description that has been furnished, as "Dove" had in the. can vas suitcase -which he carried another suit of clothes. ItUis now thought he removed his blood-stained garments and donned the others, afterward tying his castoffi clothing into a bundle, for which search was instituted today. "Dove" is said to have made an ar rangement with a chauffeur namei Xc- Rae to p on a night ride to Jollet about four weeks ago. McRae thought he was a racetrack man. Among letters found in the dead man's pocket Is said to be one In a woman's handwriting, which contains the words "When I love, I love," and when I hate, I hate." One of the letters Is signed by Leila X Halle, and was mailed In Au burn, N. Y. Miss Halle, however. Is be lieved to be a Chicago girl whd was vis iting In the East The theory was advanced that the sup posed "Dove" may not have been a man. but a woman In disguise. Edward Slavin, telephone operator in the Auditorium Ho tel who arranged for the renting of the machine for "Dove." -bears this out in a slight degree. Slavin says that "Dove" was dressed in clothing that seemed to be either too large or that "Dove" did not know how to dress himself prop erly. Captain Evans of the bureau of identi fication today examined . the machine In which Bate was found dead. One of the brass oil lamps of the automobile was taken by Captain Evans to the Harrison Street Police Station, where a reproduc tion of finger prints discovered on the lamp could be made. "If any suspects are taken," said Cap tain Evans, "We may bo enabled to iden tify him by his fingers." TROOPS ARE CALLED OUT. Kentucky Mob Threatens to Lynch Three Negroes. LEXINGTON", Ky., Nov. 21.

Have the Effect of Uniting the North and South as' Nothing Else. ATLANTA, Ga.. Nov. 2L (Special.) A suggestion that the electors of all South ern. States vote for Roosevelt and make his election unanimous has been put for ward by Julius Brown, son of the late Joseph M. Brown, Georgia's war Gov ernor, and also United States Senator for years.

After reviewing the political situation, Mr. Brown says: " "As we cannot fight the North with arms, as in 1S51-1S65, for the South has been broken, and as no one wants a solid South against a solid North, I am going to make a very radical suggestion, which I know will rai3e a storm. "It is that now, since everybody con cedes President Roosevelt to be a good man. a strong man. and a man of right Intentions, our Democratic executive com mittees request all of their Democratic Electors to cast their ballots for President Roosevelt and thereby make his election unanimous. It would show to tho North that the South Is not fighting It and that it is not the purpose of the South, broken as it Is. to make a mere factional opposi tion, but that we recognize the existing status of affairs. "After that is done. I believe that four years from today the broken South and the North would divide upon new Issues on economic questions, and that we would have a much better status of affairs than by seeking to keep the South broken as a protest to the powers that be."

NEW YORK, Nov. ,2L In an address before a large audience at Cooper Union. President J. G. Schurman, of Cornell Uni versity, has declared that those who wish to preserve the republic should beware of any tendency toward growth of mili tary spirit "Government must -be," he said, "an institution under the law, and there Is a great lesson for us in the study of Rome's history from the year B. C. 133 to the es tablishment .of the empire. No nation can long endure without some high moral and political creed.
