New York, Dec. 19.—Counsel for Nan Patterson announced before the open- ing of court that if, after a conter- ence, they decided to put in a deense they would, through witnesses and through the detendant’s own testimony, Prove that she did not kill and did mot plan to sill Caesar Young, as has been the contention of Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Rand. Witnesses may be called, they said, to swear that they heard Caesar Young telephone to Miss Patterson on the morning of the shooting, asking her to meet him before he sailed for Bu- Tope. They also declare they will be able to prove that she could not have Premeditated murder 16 hours betore the shootin: is W argued by Mr, Rand, as s 1 not know she woutd | gee Young on the morning bd lt was also said that in the event of counsel deciding to pit in a defense it was quite probavie that Patterson would be a the stand and tell her the fatal ride with th Miss Patterson has dec is not only willing but a her story to the jury. “There is much I can tell the jury that they ¢ learn from no other S¢ "ys quoted a ying, “and wien they hear what I have to say every one of them will vote to set me free.” Nan Patterson is so confident of ac- quitta!l that she said that she had spent her last Sunday in the Tombs. She added that she would be in her iather's home in Washington before another Sunday comes. When the Patterson case was re- sumed Monday it was announced that evidence would be submitted by the defense. It was said that Miss Pat- terson herself probably would be one of the 20 witnesses epiiea to the stand. Nan Patterson was called to the stand to testify in her own behalf at the afternoon session of her trial for the murder of Caesar Young. In answer to the usual preliminary questions Miss Patterson said she had been married to a man named Mar- tin and had been divorced from him. She went to California in 1902. On her way to Los Angeles she met Cae- sar Young. In answer to a question as to whether she knew that Young was a married man, Miss Patterson replied: “I heard him speak of his wife.” In answer to another question she said that it was after she had met Young that she obtained a divorce from her husband. After securing a divorce she said she continued her relations with Young and frequently visited the race track with him, In March of this year she came back east and lived with her sister, Mrs. Smith. After that she went to her parents” home in Washington and later went back to Los Angeles when Young tel- egraphed for her to meet him there. Again she left for the east when Young went back to San Francisco. She and Young arranged to meet at Chicago and did so. When they were separated they corresponded, exchanging letters and telegrams almost daily. Then she came to New York on May second and the next “aay Young called on her at her homie. They had no quarrel. She said the first proposition made to her that she should leave Young was made by Young’s brother-in-law McKean, tore ue iss owed to take wn story of bookmaker, al sh s to tell TOG) OFFAL PORT Japanese Admiral Tells of the Tor- | pedo Attack on the Bat- tleship Sevastopol. | ATTACKS WERE WITHOUT CONFUSION, One Boat Sunk by Fire from the Russians aud Several Officers and Men Killed and Injured — Admiral Compliments the Skill and Bravery of Those Who Com- posed the Ctews of Attacking Fleet, Tokio, Dec. 19.—Vice Admiral Togo's report upon the torpedo operations against the Russian turret ship Sevas- topal was received to-day. It says: “On the night of December 14 our torpedo flotillas made a gallant and brave series of attacks against the ; Russian turret ship Sevastopol. The flotillas arrived outside the entrance to Port Arthur about midnfght on that , date, The leading flotilla, under Com- mander Unchida, and a special torpedo boat, partly for attack and partly to | reconnoiter, approached the Sevastopol at one o'clock, and under the search- ; lights and fire of the enemy's ships , and shore batteries they attacked her. | A shell struck Commander Mitamura's torpedo boat and four shots hit Com- mander Nakamuta’s boat, wounding | three sailors. Subsequently our flo- | tillas attacked, acting ilidependently, Flotilla A, Commander Kasama, ad- vanced first for the purpose of destroy- | ing the defenses protecting the Sevas- | topol and also to draw and divert the | fire under the enemy's seachlights, | Flotilla B, Commander Jinguji; flotilla | C, Commander Otaki; flotilla D, Com- |mander Seki, and flotilla E, Command- er Kaw appraoched successively and bravely continued the attacks from two until four o'clock in the morning. Commander Otaki's flotilla approached the closest and delivered the most vig- orous attack. While retreating one torpedo boat received several shots | simultaneously, her commander, Lieut. | Nakahori, and five others being killed. The boat lost her freedom of motion and Lieut. Nakahara’s boat went to the rescue and despite the heavy fire, endeavored to save her, While towing the boat the enemy's shells severed the hawser, Lieut. Nakahara’s boat was also hit and one man killed. Sub- sequently several shells hit and al- most disabled Lieut, Nakahara's boat, forcing him to abandon his comrade ship, which was sinking. Lieut, Nak- ahara, however, steamed back, res- cued the crew and abandoned the tor- pedo boat to her fate. Commander Kawase's boat, belonging to the same flotilla, was struck by a shell, killing one of the crew and wounding Lieut. Takahashi and two sailors. Lieut. Shono’s boat was hit and one of the crew killed and five wounded. The boat was temporarily disabled but his comrade ships, with Lieuts. Wataeabe and Mori commanding, protected and rescued her. All the other boats brave- ly facing the enemy's fire succeeded in delivering attacks without suffering any damage. “The result of their attacks is not Gefinitely known, although it is evi- dent that numerous torpedoes took ef- fect. The wateh tower, reporting on the following morning, said that the Sevastopol had lowered as the bows considerably, facing toward south- southeast. Her condition is such that she does not change her position in the current. She is anchored close in shore, in shallow water. “It is a source of satisfaction that our torpedo attacks were delivered without the least confusion, Each boat rendered material assistance to its comrades. The skillful maneuver- ing and bravery of the officers and men inspires me with a deep feeling of satisfaction and confidence,” CAPTURE KEKWAN FORT. Bryan Answers Watson’s Attack On Democracy. Lincoln, Neb,, Dec. 18 —Mr. Bryan makes @ caustic reply to Thomas Watson's recent communications to the press. Hesays.in part: “The difficulty with Mr. Watéon is that he views the subject from a stand point.entirely hostile to the Demo- cratic party. The fact that he gave indirect assistance to Mr. Roosevelt in the late campaign and thus con- tributed to the extent of his infla- ence in increasing the size of Mr. Roosevelts majority also tends to make him take a gloomy view of the Democratic party’s future. “But there is no reason why Mr. Watson should ignore what the Democratic party lias done and is trying to do in the direction of poli- tical and economic reform. “Mr. Watson must not assume that those who differ with him are lacking in patriotism or in genuice interest in reforms. It is eyident the populist party is not in a position to do the work that is needed. It did an important educational work tn the beginning. “The democratic party took up @ number of these reforms (they were really Democratic reforms) and brought to them a larger vote than the populist party was ever able to secure forthem. The returns show the Populist party has lost ground This is not because it fused wich the Democrats, for it it had not it would not have retained its strength as long as it did. “It is not only unnecessary to or ganize a new party for dealing with the live issues, but it would be un- wise to doso. The formation of a new party is possible only in great crises. There ace more reformers in the Democratic party than are likely to be massed under the name of any other party.” An Old Indian Fighter Dead, Washington, Dec. 17.—Brigadier General Samuel M Whiteside, retired, who had command of the Depart- ment of the Santiago in the Spanieh war,died suddenly in thie city today.
