Actress Taken Back to Tombs
in State of Collapse.
NO MONEY TO PAY LAWYERS 4
Attorney Levy Says She Cannot Meet
Actual Court Expenses Effort to
Be Made to Have Bail Re
duccd to $15,000.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. The jury in
the case of Xan Patterson on trial for
the murder of Caesar Young, reported
to Justice Davis this morning' that they
were unable to reach an agreement, and
tvere discharged. It was reported that
six votes for conviction stood as fol
lows: One for murder in the second
degree, two for manslaughter In the
first degree and three for manslaugh
ter in the second degree. It is said
there was no vote for murder in the
first degree. Foreman Harraer. of the
jury, in his statement to Justice Davis
paid:
"Your Honor, we have conferred In
this matter through long .hours with
out being able to approach any coinci
dence of opinion. We have discussed It
from evory possible standpoint and do
not require any instruction regarding
the evidence. There are some of our
number wfho seem absolutely unamen
able to argument or persuasion. It
Feems to me that there is little possl-"
bllity of our reaching a verdict."
The question of baii is the most In
teresting one at present to the Im
prisoned actress. Before her trial the
District Attorney offered to accept bail
in 520.000, but this could not b& raised.
and the prosecuting officers declined to j
indicate today -what their attitude on !
this point will be. District Attorney'
Jerome said he had nothing whatever
to say at present as to whether he
would agree to a lower bail or whether
he would accept ball at. all.
JURY REPORTS TO COURT,
i
Discharged When They Announced
No Agreement Reached,
OTH YORK. -Doe. 23. It was 24
hours almost to a minute after the
Jury was sent out yesterday that
word wan sent to Justice Davis
that it rar, ready to make its final re
port. The attorneys were hurriedly
summoned, and Miss Patterson's fath
er, who had been strolling around the
rorrldors. was notified that the durv
was about to return. He had scarcely
taken his seat when the jurors took
their places In their box. Prom the
expressions on their faces it was ap
parent that their deliberation had not
been altered In the brief hour that had
elapsed slnco their foreman Informed
the court that an agreement was prac
tically Impossible.
A moment later Mies TatVsnT
walked rapidly down the aisle and
quickly sank. Into her seat at her fath
er's sjde. In her face there was little
to indicate thai ahy hope of acquittal
remained with -her. Her clenched hands
rested firmly upon the table, and her
piercing gaze was nxea upon the fore
man as the customary questions were
asked bv the clerk. When th rohiw
was given that no decision had
been reached and there was absolutely
no hope of a verdict, the defendent, for
me nrst iime during ner long suspense,
srave wav comnletelv to her fcoiini-.
She threw her arms around her old
fathers neck, and burying her head on
his shoulder sobbed like a child. rienttv
the Old man returned the embrace, and
wiw:
'Don't worn-, little criri: it will Mmc
nut all right yet," heurged her to cheer
up.
A moment later she had gained her
nnmhnSHrA. and with flushed -Toa v.3
downcast eyes awaited the final word
or the court. Addressing the jury. Jus
tice Davis said:
"STou -have done all that was expect
ed of you. in this case. You have been
logether all-night and given your care
ful and conscientious consideration,
and now I understand there is no pos
sibility of reaching a decision."
"There is no possibility of our reach
ing a verdict," replied the foreman.
"Then 1 am compelled to excuse you
from further attendance." replied the
Justice,
After thanking them for the service
they had rendered, he informed them
that they were at liberty to go. The
court remanded the prisoner for th6
time being, and she was led back ones
more across the Bridge of Sighs to the
cell In the Tombs prison.
Justice Davis, after his consultation
with the foreman of the jury, said:
"I have been informed that the jury
stood six for acquittal and six for con
viction. As to how the six for convic
tion regard the crime, I was not in
formed, nor can I conscientiously seek in
formation on the subject."
Foreman Harmer said:
T would like to give you more In
formation, but prior to our coming into
court this morning wo adopted a res
olution not to make public what trans
pired in 'the jury room during the long
deliberations."
'How many ballpts were there?"
"We Only took one ballot, but, then,
you know we did not proceed in that
wa'H. Wo found thero was such a vast
difference of opinion among us that we
spent the remainder of the time in ar
gument."
NAN PATXEKSOX, ACTRESS, ACqUSED OP THE MURDER OF CAESAR YOUNG.
EFFORT FOR LOWER BAIL.
This Is the Present Concern of Coun
cil for the Defense.
NEW YORK. Dec 23. Henry W. Un
ser of c6unsel for Nan Patterson, s&id
after the Jury had been discharged:
"We will not take any further action
in the case until we learn what District
Attorney Jerome Intends to do. have
reason to hope, however, that he will
consent to her release on her own recog
nizance, pending further disposition of
the case."
Another of Miss Patterson's counsel said
that ho felt it would be the par of wis
dom to wait "until the smoke oi battle
has cleared away," before making the
next move. Some time next week, he
.said. Miss Patterson's counsel probablv
would ask ball for her and that the $33."-

duced. The future of the case, he do
clared would depend a great deal upon
the attitude of the six members bf the
Jury who were onnosed to her acaulttal.

of which they would have convicted her.

a desperate effort to get ball for her. I

bail to $16,000. and I will be able. I think.
to arrange for that amount and thus let
her have her freedom while again wait
ing the long nerve-wrecking ordeal she
will have to face,
But One Ballot Taken.
Interest tonight centered In District At
torney Jerome's future action. He has
not said what he wllj. do, but it was inti
mated that the way the jury stood may
influence him as to a new trial. The
Jury took but one ballot, according to the
'foreman, and devoted the remainder of
the time to discussion. From first to
last the division was even. For 24 hours
.they discussed the evidence, and ono" Juror
is quoted tonight as- saying that ono of
those who stood for acquittal, tried on the
coat which Young wore at the time of
his death, and with a revolver attempted
to demonstrate that suicide was possible.
The interest in the case was so intense
that the crowds which had stood outside
the court building all the morning, pur
sued Foreman Harmer, of the jury, when
he left the court after the final adjourn
ment. He boarded a trolley, but men
chased the car to his business ofTlce. and
mounted police were called to disperse
the throng.
Levy Expresses Disappointment.
Abraham Levy tonight issued a .state
ment in the course of which he said:
"From our understanding of the" law ap
plicable to it, and a careful 'analysis of
the material proofs which could be re
garded as having weight or logical rela
tion to the case, we felt confidence that
the trial would result in the girl's ac
quittal, and we are disappointed at the
outcome.
"We are more convinced than ever that
a verdict of guilty never will be reached
In the case. Whether or not there Is to
be n third trial Is a matter largely rest
ing In the official judgment of the District
Attorney, whoso conclusion on that sub
ject necessarily will be affected by his
legal Judgment as to the probability of
conviction, and his more purely official
judgment, whether or not the county
should be subjected to the enormous ex
pense which another trial of such a case
entails."
After expressing his appreciation of the
work of Judge Davis and reviewing the
fact that there was no Coroner's inquest,
and that the dofense did not have the
minutes of the grand Jury which Indicted
Miss Patterson, Mr. Levy continued:
Nan Patterson Has No Money.
"The defendant is wholly without
means. When counsel assumed the de
fense of her case It was with the under
standing arid In the expectation that the
defendant would be sufficiently equipped
with means, if not to properly compen
sate them, at least to meet the disburse.
menu? and actual expenses which were
bound to arise. This she has never been
able to do; so that, during the progress
of the trial, we did not even have the
stenographer's minutes of tho testimony,
but were obliged to depend upon our own
notes as to proofs given through a trial
spreading over three weeks.
"Probably the most Important witness
for the defense should have been Miss
Blake, the telephone operator at the SL
Paul Hotel, who received tho various
messages which the deceased sent on that
morning. But wo were entirely without
means to secure her attendance at the
trial, and only discovered her wherea
bouts in St. Louis while the trial was
in progress.
"There were many other' embarrass.
ments from which the defendant suffered
with regard to the non-appearance of wit
nesses, which are well known to the
publics
"We feel confident now that, in view' of
the wide publicity given to the case, other i
witnesses will come forward. If neces

case."
ACTRESS IN A COLLAPSE.
Has to Be Assisted Across .Bridge ci.
Sighs, and Weeps fn Her Cell.
NEW YORK, Dec 22. This morn
ing Miss Patterson asked XOr news from
the jury. She became hysterical while
awaiting an answer, and tho Tombs
warden went to see her. He assured
hero that there was no news, and that
she could not possibly hear anything
until It was announced In the court
room before her.
Instead of reassuring her. this news
made her worse. She had a severe at
tach of hysteria.
Dr. Levin, tho Tombs physician, was
sent for in a hurry and prescribed for her.
About-this time her father arrived at the
Tombs. Owing to her stato of collapse
ho was allowea to go to see her. With his
presence and the efforts of the physician
she Improved considerably In a short
time. As soon as she was somewhat com
posed she was led across the bridge of
siens to the Criminal -Court building.
When the Jury came In at 12:50. Miss
Patterson became very nervous. The
color of her face seemed to deepen, if
tliat were possible, and her whole atti
tude showed" that she was undergoing
keen suffering. When the Jury reported
their disagreement and tho Justice dis
charged them, she turned td her father
and threw herself on his shoulders, weep
ing bitterly. Up to the last she had
hoped to be free in time to go home to
Washington to spend Christmas with her
mother, and the dlsagrement was a most
poignant disappointment to her. The old
man tried to comfort her. but she fell
fainting In his nrms.
Tho girl was revived from her fainting
spoil, but continued to sob hysterically.
Justice Davis thanked the jury and re
manded Miss Patterson to tho Tombs.
She wag led out sobbing violently and In
a state of severe nervous collapse.
Kan Pattersoh collapsed again when
she waa being taken across the Bridge
of Sighs. It was said she was in a
serious condition for tho time being.
She' was revived sufficiently to be taken
to her cell, where sheagain collapsed.
Once In her cell. Miss Patterson wept.
A Tombs missionary tried to comfort
her, but she would not be comforted
She cried for her father, but when he
was' admitted to her cell she did not
immediately recognize him. The father
wept In company with his daughter.
After the prison physician had ad
ministered stimulants. Miss Patterson
regained some of her former self-possession.
"Do you think." she asked the mis
sionary, 'that the jury believed me
guilty because I broke down and cried
along toward the last. Yoli rememhor
after I had stood Mr. Rand's attack
as long as I could, I just had to break
down and cry. and I thought that maybe
i was mat kind of woman."
The missionary reassured her and she
became more cheorful.

STORIES BRING NO CLEWS.
Mount Cutler Mystery Is No Nearer
a Solution.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Dec- 23.
Although tho officers working on the
Mount Cutler murder mystery were on
the go continually all day today, their
efforts were devoid of any new develop
ments. Chief Reynolds has been work
ing on a report made by Conductor Al
len, of the Cripple Creek Short Line, to
tile effect that he carried a girl answering
the description of the victim from Crip
ple CYeek to Roremount about three weeks
ago, and this may lead to a clew.
Many stories arc being sent out of the
finding of clothing, but, according to
Chief Reynolds, there is absolutely no
truth In the reports, and the officers are
as much in tho dark as ever.
Tho proprietor of the Plaza Hotel to
night reported that November 29 Mrs.
Lillian Horasley Bardt, of New York, reg
istered at her hotel, and two days later
went away, leaving her valise. She was

appeared at tho hotel, although her bill
was paid. The" description of the body
found on Cutler Mountain tallies closely
with the New York woman, and the po
lice are trying to trace her.

DRESDEN'. Dec. 23. Countess Mentls

ise end divorced wife of King Frederick"
Augustus, by coming to Dresden and try
ing to see her children yesterday, has
probably forfeited her allowanco of $7300,
one of the conditions of which wa3 that
she- should not set foot on German soil.
This condition, however, may not be en
forced, as popular sympathy with the
Countess Is so strong already that the
court will avoid punishing her for her
natural womanly feelings.
The version of the Countess misadven
ture commonly believed in the Kingdom of
saxony Is that she is guiltless of actual
wrongdoing, and Is the victim of an In
tflgUe of the Center party, which Is de
scribed as using unscruplous means to
prevent a strong Liberal from becoming
Queen. The' circumstances 'of the Count
ess leaving the court are so overlaid with
frlcUon that the truth probably will be
unknown to tho present generation of
Saxons.

The .Countess was accompanied from

at once. If he has anything better, take that.
