SENSATIONAL TRIAL OF MISS
NAN PATTERSON BEGAN
THIS MORNING.
PALE, NERVOUS, BUT SEEMING:
LY CONFIDENT, SHE CAME
V INTO COURT ROOM.
gPPpfp^TAIR PRISONER TREMBLED WHEN
JUROR WAS QUESTIONED ON
?g?.? ' ' ' CAPITAL. PUNISHMENT.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1G.?Pale and.
nervous, but seemingly confident of
.an acquitted, Nan Patterson, known on
the stage as Nan Randolph, came to
y her trial to-day charged with the murder
of Frank "Caesar" Young, a
bookmaker, in a cab last June on West
Broadway. Flanked on both sices by
:an imposing array of counsel, the
Mslfe .young actress sat in court an J- took a
_ ' .infcrxaacf Tn bVl-rv eolnntion r>f n
jury while a crowded court room,
-packed from jury box to doorway sat
and craned, its necks at the actress.
Meanwhile, outside the great oak
door a squad of 46 patrolmen, especially
delegated by Inspector Titus,
reinforced the court officers to keep
tjirf t .=awaythe hungrily curious who swarmed
outside of Justice Vernon Davis'
Sgg -court.
Miss Patterson was defended by
Abe Levy, Henry linger and Daniel
O'Reiliy, while the State's ease was
in the hands of Assistants Rami and
KJarvan.
The hands of the clock pointed to
j "10:55 when the defendant, escorted
I "by a tomb's officer, swept into the (
[ room, and strode almost defiantly up
to the counsel table where she sat
-down beside her aged father.
Miss Patterson was gowned in deep
"black and she wore a black picture
, hat from which waved a huge black
ostricfi feather. The pallor of her
-countenance which belied her almost .
, haughty carriage, contrasted strangely
with the deep black of her costume. ,
heavy:'^eil. protected her partly c
from the ^ze of the curious throng. c
The defendant had hardly L.een seat- c
-ed, when the Court took up the work T
of selecting a Jury. Henry -White, a
"writer, was the first talisman. When t
talisman was asked if he had any
, conscious scruples against capital
punishment, Miss Patterson was seen j.
to tremble visibly. ,,
LJ
History of the Case. ^
For- over five months New York
has waited for a solution of the now
- - V.
famous Cab mystery." It was on the w
.morning of June 4th last, that Frank
, T. Young, sometimes known as "Cae ^
sar" Young, a bookmaker, was shot h(
and killed in a cab while driving down , !
West Broadway with Nan Patterson.
The revolver with which the shooting ljc
was done was found in his pocket. rE
, : "Young was driving to the pier, where
lie was to meet his wife, and sail with
lief to-Europe. Miss Patterson, with
whom the dead bookmaker was in- ^
fatuated, was driving part "of the way
to the pier. She purposed leaving the *
1 veiticle before it reached the pier. (1.'
Miss parterson was arrested imme- e'
v diately after the shooting, anil after '3:
hearing .the evidence she was indicted 0
' . . . Jo:
ray tne gran a 3ury.
Investigation of all the known facts on,
show that Young was infatuated with
Miss Patterson for some time prior to ;
the shdcfffng, and that this intima- "?
cy was known to Mrs. Young, who sul
Wad prevailed upon her husband to
take a trip to Europe. Young and &
his wife made arrangements to sail :
oh the morning of June 4th. The
bookmaker saw Miss Patterson on
Friday evening and told her that he
was going away. The next morning
Miss Patterson left the St. Paul, the '
7* hotel where she was stopping with
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Smith, her
brother-in-law and sister, and met !
?YY\Y?ung in the neighborhood of Co- '
' lumbus Circle. After visiting a cafe, '
; Young and Miss Patterson took a cab :
for the pier from which Young and 1
his wife were to sail. The cab was c
moving down West Broadway, and
when near Franklin street, several '
jacople on the sidewalk saw smoke I

BRING GRIEF TO TAYLOR
COUNTY FAMILY.
"Pudge" is the name of a liver-colored
fox hound. Herewith hangs a
stnrv
"Pudge" is supposed to be the property
of Fred Ludwick, of Taylor county.
About a week ago Frank Haddi>rr
who works at Miners ville, paid a visit ^
to that county and. the report is, that p
he brought "Pudge" back to Miners- n
ville with him. There he sold him or "
her to Jeff Danley. vv
There was a great stir in old Taylor t!
when the absence of the beloved ani- oi
mal was discovered. Showers of tears el
fell around the Ludwick home. Final- v<
ly Fred's grief became to great and lie m
decided to enter the eneitiy's country
and seek his dear "Pudge." ^
Nothing more was heard of him ^
until yesterday afternoon. At that er
time he appeared at "Watson and ask- Nl
ed a street car conductor bow soon he vc
could be rushed to a Justice of the G<
peace. He was told that lie could be
landed at the Court-house in 15 ininutes.
That was rather slow progress
but Fred invested a nickel and ca ne
in. A
He rushed into the Courthouse and W?
told his troubles into the sympathetic
sar of Justice Amos. He bad heard rei
his dear "Pudge" howling for his mas- a<'
:er and a search warrant was issued. J^'1
Nonstable Jones and Fred hurried to ^Ul
VTinersville and got Haddi.t and the
log. They returned to "Watson and ^a

hink the conductor would not let his ba'
"Pudge" take a ride oil the street car.
Several people came aiong to the
tearing and right there under cover Bei
>f the temple of justice a terrible cal
theme was concocted. No one knew ve'
>f it outside the formulalors but it by
Forked to perfection. At the trial it
ras agreed that Haddix was to set- ver
le with Donley and that J.udwick E
.-as to take "Pudge" and pay the
osts. He agreed and borrowed a dol- sc''
ir from a friend whom lie found in t,le
ine of need. The matters were set- ^e"
ed and Fred, his friend anil "Pudge"
:arted for the depot. Some Miners- 1
illians followed and threatened to
hip Fred. His friend was supposed ~^e

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
IS PROGRESSING
IN PHILIPPINES
- REPORT OF CHIEF OF INSULAR
AFFAIRS MAKES EXCELLENT
SHOWING.
I REDUCTION ON PRESENT TARIFF
RATES ON . SUGAR AND TOBACCO
RECOMMENDED.
BONDS WERE ISSUED FOR THE
PURCHASE OF' THE FRIAR
LANDS.
(By Publishers' Press.)
- W ASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 1G.?
The report of Colonel Clarence R.
Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs for the past year, just
published, gives much interesting
matter relative to the administration \
of|civil affairs in the Philippines.
It says that the work of establishing
civil government is now practically
accomplished, and the results,
on the whole, have been most satisfactory.
Attention is called to the explanation
that the committee recommends
to Congress legislation providing for
a material reduction of the present
tariff rates on Philippine sugar and
tobacco. This reduction can be made
without injury to any American industry,
and it is strongly urged by
the Secretary of War.
The currency system of the island,
continues the report, has been entirely
changed. Accounts are now
kept only in the new currency, and
the change from a silver to a gold
basis, from constantly fluctuating to
a stable and fixed rate of exchange,
was accomplished without any dis
unyance ana nas eucitea tne auinira- 1
tion of financiers everywhere.
Col. Edwards says that the negotia- <
tioss for the purchase of the Friar <
ianlis has been carried to a successful
tissue, part of the purchase price 1
having been paid and the remainder :
beijig in bank ready to be paid. Four <
per cent, bonds wcie" issued in order i
ct'si-cure funds for the purchase of v
these lands, and were sold, after ad- I
vertisement. at a premium that t
nakes the net issues at about three i
>er cent, per annum. The report reuses
the work connected with the v
Philippine exhibit at the Louisiana t
'urchase Exposition at St. Louis, and t
he visit of the honorary commission s
f distinguished Filipinos to this v
ountry, the object of both being to c
cquaint this country with the re- f<
ources of the islands and the Fill- f<
iuos with the institutions of this h
ountry. cl

MANY INTERESTING CASES WERE
BEFORE HIS HONOR THIS
MORNING.

their belongings for sate keeping. He
stated that no law existed whereby
an olticer had the power to take one's
money and personal belongings. He
was lined $5.00 for drunkenness.
A colored minister of the gospel
was ordered to appear this morning
I to explain the presenco of a dog
which he has been keeping without a
tug. The dog in question was sent
out of town when the crusade against
dogs was at its height last spring,
and once or twice since, but yesterday
she was found with a litter of
pups. When she was found the minister
immediately prepared her for shipment,
and so stated to His Honor,
when brought'before the throne.
When accused of evading the lawhe
invented various talcs to prove
his innocence, but each time the
story was met with conclusive proof
to the contrary. The mayor read the
ordinance which provides that anyone
so offending shall he fined not more
than ten nor less than three dollars. I
He pronounced the fino three and
costs, but the parson nsked to be I
released on payment of tag. the cost t
of which is five dollars. The mayor (
