NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Snapshot photographs of J. Morgan Smith will be introduced in evidence at the trial of “Nan” Randolph Patterson, his | ter-in-law, for the murder of “Caesar” | Young, which will begin in the crimi- nal branch of the Supreme Court to- | morrow morning to determine whether | he is the man who bought the revolver with which the bookmaker was killed. Assistant District Attorney Rand, who | will represent the people at the trial, | regards the ldentity of the purchaser of the revolver as one of the most vital points in the case. If he can prove that it was bought by “Nan” Patter- son, or by any relative or close friend of the accused, his chain of circum- stantial evidence will be complete. Stern, the pawnbrokers who sold a | revolver to a man accompanied by a | young woman on the morning before | Young was killed, says he can identify | both if they are brought before him. | | He has already declared that ‘“Nan” | Patterson was not the woman. | He was taken to the District Attor- | ney’s office shortly before “Nan” Pat-| terson was indicted for murder and| | there saw J.
