NEW YORK, June 11.—That “Cae- sar” Young, the bookmaker, who was killed a week ago to-day in a cab as he was riding with “Nan" Patterson, shot himself accidentally with a revolver which he was wresting from Mrs. Pat- terson, who had threatened to commit suicide, was the theory of his death advanced to-day by the police. This new theory, and consequent theory of the innocence of the actress, was an- nounced by a police captain who has been’ working on the case. ““I think,” said the captain, “that Young shot himself accidentally as he was trying to get frém the woman a revolver which she had drawn with the idea of committing suiecide. That means, of course, tliat she is innocent of any intention of killing him. The stories of some of the men who saw the cab and Young and Mrs. Patterson in it ‘almost immediately after the shooting bear out this theory. “That Young and ‘Nan' Patterson cared a great deal for each other, I think, is apparent. It is not remarka- ble, then, that Mrs. Pattérson contem- plated suicide. “This theory also accounts for the nature of the wound in Young's body and the course of the bullet.” Those 'who are in charge of the po- lice end of the case will ask for the Government Not to HAct Unless State is Powerless.
