RELEASE ON BAIL ASSURED Almost Powerless to Move, Girl Is Dragged From Bed- to Hear Jury's Verdict Carried Out In Dead Faint. NEW' YORK, May 4. No positive steps were taken today toward having Nan Patterson released on ball. It being agreed by her counsel and her father that, even though ball were possible at once. It would be better for the girl to remain quietly in the Tombs for a rest alter the ordeal she underwent last night. During the day alarming reports were circulated as to Miss Patterson's condi tion, but it was stated at the Tombs to night that her condition is practically normal She shows t-o effects of her trial, but is far from a real breakdown. She spent a large part of the -day sleep ing in her cell, being thoroughly exhaust ed from her long vigil and the nervous strain last night Miss Patterson's lawyers tomorrow will endeavor to roach an agreement with the District Attorney's office as to the amount of bail their client shall be re quired to give- They hope the sum will be nominal, but say tliey are ready to furnish a bondsman for any amount with in reason. There is much speculation as to what course the District Attorney will pursue with reference to the trial of J. Morgan Smith and his wife on the charge of con spiracy, and what effect the testimony adduced at their hearing might have upon a possible fourth trial of Miss Patterson. Prisoner Collapses in Court. Dramatic In the extreme were the clos ing scenes. When the foreman had final ly assured the court that there was no possibility of reaching an agreement, tho prisoner was in a dead faint. At 2:27 o'clock A. M. the Recorder declared the Jucy discharged, and ordered Miss Pat terson returned to the Tombs prison. She was carried out in a chair by sev sral attendants, and. the doctors had a aard time restoring consciousness. In the streets below thousands of persons, held back by mounted police. :heered the ne.ws, but were somewhat disappointed. They evidently favored the young woman and had expected her acquittal. Various rumors gained currency as to how the Jury stood. Information received by the Associated Press Is that the jury stood seven to five in fa vor of acquittal. When Recorder Goff was summoned to jsourt, soon after 1 o'clock, the room was filled with spectators, two of whom were women. Only those possessing permits -were allowed to enter, but in the streets surrounding the Tombs and the courthouse were thousands await ing the outcome. With their eyes riv aled on the bridge leading from the. prison they -watched " for a possible' glinips of the prisoner, who, they hoped, might pause at a window mo mentarily should she be called to ;ourt. Mounted police kept the people in order and maintained passageway for the streetcars. Dragged From Bed to Court. "When the Recorder reached his desk ind ordered the prisoner brought from her cell, she did not appear. Be ing informed that the prisoner was ill. Mr. Goff, declared that the court could not proceed; that she must be present. After a lapse of ten minutes, she ap peared, leaning heavily on the arm of x Deputy Sheriff. She showed more strength than even her lawyers had hoped. In the crossing of the "Bridge of Sighs" she had heard the shouts of the watchers below, and seemingly every voice was attuned in her favor. Upon reaching the dock she grapsed the railing for support, and gazed fixedly at the Jurymen. When they announced their failure to agree and were sent back for further consulta tion, she almost collapsed, and had to be carried from the room. At 2:15 o'clock the same scenes were enacted. Miss Patterson was then in a state bordering on collapse. She trembled like a leaf when the Jury filed in the second time, and -when the foreman finally made a personal poll of the Jury and announced that its members were fixed in their opinions and the formality of the discharge had been completed she was in a dead faint. As the final curtain fell, strong court attendants lifted the chair in which the unconscious woman sat and car ried it away to the hospital ward of the prison. Physicians were hurriedly summoned, but she could not be re- vlved by ordinary methods. Tho pris oner's aged father clasped her in his arras, chafed her cheeks and called her name repeatedly, but she did not ut ter a word. Finally after nearly 20 minutes she became semi-conscious, and then 10 minutes later was able to speak. Meanwhile there was a great clamor among the other prisoners to learn the verdict, adding an unusual touch to one of the most remarkable nights in the history of the Tombs. Xcrvous AVrcck, Says -Doctor. After one of his visits to his daughter, Mr. Patterson said: "I did not try to talk to her. She seemed to be sleepy, as if she needed rest. I had not the heart to talk to her after what she went through last night. She Is In the hands of her sister, and I am satisfied with that." ,Dr. F. A. McGulre, the prison physician, today said: "She Is a nervous wreck. She Is unable to retain food. She is physically so weak that she cannot lift a cup of beef tea to her Jlps. It will take two or three days for her to recover her normal strength. Her sister. Julia, Is consoling her, and her conversation at present is the best med icine." Dr. McGulre said Miss Patterson said to him today; "I feel as if somebody had hit ine all over my body with a club. I feci bruised, and sore all over." 'Altaeugk in a state bordering on ceosptete collapse when she went to Iter cell, early today, after the Jury had bees discharged, Miss Patterson soon was tttleted, and slept peacefully . tkrewsk the night. When a deputy wsr4, making his rounds at 8 'deck this morning, reached the cell of Xles Patterson and her sister. Nan w&s still sleeping heavily. At the side Ute cch knelt her sister, Mrs. SBaKik, -wfee was also asleep, with one r hrewH on the pillow on which 3KlPttcsoh's head lay. The dep TtSty Yr4ea, carried with him 11 let- litre jLiWrMced to Miss Patterson. He Jtk kwi at the cell door, and did not er of the women: Wetone, one of the Jurors, ncrvjoKB Tjrostra'tlon.

May .--District At torney Jerome, who has been here since yesterday, said that the vote of the jury in the case of Nan Patterson would de termine to a large 'degree his decision whether to put her on trial again for the murder of Caesar Young. If the Jury was preponderantly against her he might try her again: If the ma jority was In her favpr, he might consent to her release. SHOULD HAVE MADE DEFENSE Nan Patterson's Sister Criticises Ac tion of Her Lawyers. WASHINGTON, May 4. J. R. Patter son, father of Nan Patterson, today tele graphed his family concerning the result of the Jury's deliberations In the Patter son case, adding an expression of belief that the former showgirl shortly will be at liberty to return home. Mrs. J. Ed ward Taylor, sister of Miss ratterson. said today: "I feel that the defense In Nannie's case did wrong In not presenting any evidence in this trfal. Knowing as we do that sho is Innocent. It seems to me that the bet ter way would have been to put forward all the evidence possible." "Do you expect a letter from Miss Pat terson very soon?" was asked. "Yes, just as soon as Nannie Is able to write us I think she will. She has been writing all the time. It is terrible to think that she could not have been ac quitted continued Mrs. Taylor, "when we know the truth. We comfort mamma by telling her that Nannie will be back soon anyhow, and, after all, that is what we want." Mrs. Taylor said she thought her sister had borne up wonderfully well. "I don't sec how she ever stood It as she has." sho remarked. "It has been terrible more of a persecution than a prosecution." Mrs. Taylor said that her mother was In a serious nervous condition, from which she probably would not recover until Nannie returned. BRANDE6EE IS' THE CHOICE AVill Succeed O. 11.

The Secretary of the In terior today withdrew from entry about 150.CO0 acres of land in Kittitas County. Washington, lying along the Yakima River, with a view to Its ultimate Irri gation, provided the Government under takes the construction of a project In that region. This lthdrawal; considered with the report made by the Board of Consulting Engineers on Washington projects, strongly Indicates that if the Government is to irrigate In Washington In the near future, it must be In the Yakima "Valley. It Is said by officials of, the reclama tion service that there arc better pros pects of irrigation along tho Yakima River than anywhere else In the state, since It has been found that the Palouse project Is likely to be extremely costly. State 3Iust Drop Carey Scheme. But before the Government will under take irrigation in the Yakima Valley, even tf the land today withdrawn. It must have assurance that the state will not proceed with the selection of land which It has made under the Carey act. A question Is now pending before tho Secretary of the Interior, Involving sev eral hundred thousand acres In the Yak ima Valley which the state selected with a view to having It Irrigated by the Washington Irrigation Company. There is also a contest pending to defeat this selection. If the selection is approved, and action is looked for almost any day, the rec lamation service will abandon the idea of building an irrigation project in the Yakima Valley, but, if the Government has a clear field, it can utilize to advan tage Lakes Cle Elum. Kcechelus and Kachess, which form natural reservoirs Just above the lands that were today withdrawn from entry. But In case the state selection Is approved, the lands withdrawn in the Interest of the Govern ment project will probably be restored to entry. Jones for Palouse Project. The reclamation ser'lce today received a strong letter from Representative Jones protesting against the postponement or abandonment of, the Palouse project. He says that the land will stand a tax of far more than 533 per acre fcr water, for. when irrigated. It will be worth $400 to $500. Moreover, he says, many settlers, believing the Government would build this project, have gone onto the laifd and made entries in good faith. To abandon the project now would bo a hardship to these people. Senator An keny today telegraphed to the same ef fect. Another letter from Representa tive Jones strongly urges Immediate con struction of the TIetan project In tho Yakima Valley. a SAW BVi'aKr''! BK. BS'bba Reclaim State Land In Idaho.
