NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Several un- “Nan” Patterson for the alleged mur- der of Caesar Young. During the day ! a skeleton and two pieces of skin from Young's second finger were produced in| court by the prosecution. The skeleton | was shown in order that the course of the bullet that killed Young might be traced. The State, it is understood, ex- pects to use the pieces of skin in refut-| ing the suicide theory. ' The introduction of these exhibits| caused a sensation in the courtroom, and for a time Miss Patterson seemed on the verge of collapse. The court-| room was crowded when the trial was resumed and the corridors of the build- ing ‘were thronged. William Stemm Jr., the voung man who directed Michaels, the cab driver, to the hospital, was the star witness of | the day. He was standing on the cor- ner of West Broadway and York street and heard the revolver shot just after | led and looked up the street quickly, trying to locate the spot from which the shot was fired. There was no oney on the opposite side of the street, and | he concluded that the shot must have | been fired in the cab, which was about | twelve feet away and moving rather slowly. As the cab swung around to driver talking with the druggist. In; the cab he saw a man and a woman, the man lying in the woman'’s lap. WOMAN WAS FRIGHTENED. ‘The ariver seemed to be all tangled up,” said Stemm, “and I rode on the step of the cab to the hospital. When we reached the hospital I helped a po- liceman carry the man in and then helped the woman to alight. She was frightened and pale and looked as if | she wanted to cry but could not.” In reply to questions by Levy the witness sald that about eight or nine minutes elapsed from the time he heard the shot until the cab reached the drug store. Traffic both wayg prevented the cab getting there sooner. Levy had one of the jurors hold a watch while the witness estimated one minute of time, marking the begin- The juror's watch showed that only claps. Stemm said there were several men around the cab as it stood near the drug store, but he ‘could not recall seeing a red-haired voung man re- ferred to by Levy. He first told of his connection with the tragedy the fol- lowing Saturday. He had heard that the police were looking for him as a voluntarily surrendered himself. SKELETONS AND A BULLET. The human skeletons which fre- quently have been mentioned in con- nection with the case made their first appearance in the courtroom when Coroner’s Physician Philip O'Hanlan was called to the stand. Dr. O’Han- lan testified that he had performed that death was caused by hemorrhage of the left lung, resulting from a shot wound. The bullet had entered the left shoulder and passed downward toward the center of the body, lodg- ing in the muscles of the back. A probe was inserted in the skeleton to show the course taken by the bullet and both the skeleton and a bullet, which the witness identified as the one ! taken from Young's body, were marked as exhibits. Several police officers were called to the stand in quick succession and ex- amined briefly regarding happenings in the police station when Miss Pat- terson was brought there under ar- | rest. Captain Sweeney, who was in charge of the station-house at the time, identified the revolver, which, he which he subsequently turned over to Assistant District Attorney Garvin with the three loaded cartridges and ! the exploded shells. Miss Patterson, he | said, told him(the story of the ride downtown and declared that she had not seen the shooting. She denfed that she had any words with Young and said that she had picked up the revolver, which had fallen from Young's hand when he fired the fatal | ghot, and placed it in his pocket. CAB DRIVER'S STORY. Frederick D. Michaels, who was driving the handsom cab in which Young was shot, said the first he knew of any trouble in the cab was when he heard the sound of a pistol shot and his startled horse sprang for- ward. A moment later Miss Patterson opened the trap and told me to drive to a drug store. He followed her instruc- tions without making any investigation and did not look inside the cab when the drug clerk refused to treat the wounded man and ordered him taken to a hospital with all speed. Michaels said he picked up Young and Miss Patterson at the circle at Fifty-ninth street and Broadway on the morning of June 4, and Young or- dered him to drive to a hat store. Young came out of the store wearing a new hat and they continued on down town and stopped at a saloon/on the corner of Bleecker street and West Broadway. The man and woman went into the place and remained there for several minutes. When they came out they got into the cab and he drove down town, along West Broadway. Neither of them showed any signs of liquor. The man told him to drive rapidly, as he had to be at the pler at the foot of Fulton street at 9 o'clock. It was then between 8:30 and 8:40 o’clock. They had just passed Canal street when he heard the pistol shot. On cross-examination, Michaels said that when Mfés Patterson raised the trap and told him to drive to the drug store she “spoke scared-like.” i In outlining his case m As- sistant District Am in- AT SIGHT OF SHOWN IN COURT Is Described formed the jury that the prosecution, after months of endeavor, had been unsuccessful in locating J. MorE!"i Smith, who, it is claimed, purchased the revolver with which Young was) killed. He hoped, however, that Smith | would be brought forward by the de- fense at the proper time. Later in the day Miss Patterson’s counsei, Levy, said the defense had no mten-‘ tiop of producing Smithe | “If the prosecution wants Smith as a witness they have got to flnd‘ him. We are having our own troubles | with the defense and are not going out of our way to help the people supply | the rents in their fabric of evidence.” Levy said that he did not know!| where Smith and his wife were. nor | would he take any pains to discover | their whereabouts. Following the announcement it was said that the District Attorney's of- fice would renew its search for the missing witness with the hope of lo- cating him and compelling him to ap- pear in court before it is too late. Only the announcement that the de- fendant herself would go on the stand and tell of her acgquaintance with Young could have created more public interest than the report that the dead bookmaker's widow might appear in the case. Since her husband died Mrs. Young has remained in seclusion, ex- cept when she called at the District Attorney’s office and testified before the Grand Jury. During the trial, she had not appeared in the court- room, but it is said she has followed | all the proceedings from an adjoining room. —————— MORE MONEY IS NEEDED ! FOR McKINLEY MEMORIAL | Fifty Thousand Additional Required | to Carry Out the Plans as Prepared. NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The national trustees of the McKinley Memorial As- sociation, who have in their charge the | erection of the McKinley monument in | Canton, Ohio, met here to-day and| viewed the design presented by the of- ficial architect, H. Van Buren Mec- Gonigle. At the close of the meeting it was stated that the sum needed had not been raised and that changes which may be necessary will be made for fin- ancial rather than artistic reasons. The drawings are said to show a massive structure unlike either the Grant monument in New York or the Garfield monument in Cleveland. The site for the monument on the top of a hill renders a beautiful approach pos- sible and the opportunities offered gave the architéct an idea which it is said would require more money than the trustees have in hand. They have now | about $550,000 and need about $50,000 more to carry out the plans as they wish. The trustees, after a long dis- cussion, during which they endeavored to plan changes in the design to enable their means to cover the expenses and not result in the added expenditures that marked the building of the Grant monument, appointed a committee to confer with the architect regarding the changes whigh they will report to the trustees. The members of the commit- tee say that they are anxious to be able to start work on the monument next spring. | | { | ————— WOMAN PLAYS PART IN SOUTHERN FEUD Fires Into a Crowd and in Re- turn Is Shot, but Gets Away. HUNTINGTON, W: Va., Nov. 22.— A feud between the family of John Wallace and the Curry brothers reached a climax near Yorkville to- day, Mrs. Wallace fired into a crowd that was attacking her husband, fa- tally wounding Thomas Curry. The Curry crowd then sefzed the brother of Mre. Wallace, bound him hand and foot and laid his head upon a log. One of the Curry brothers was about to decapitate the boy when Wallace fired into the crowd and dispersed them. A The Curry crowd later resumed their attack and Mrk. Wallace was shot twice. It is estimated that about 500 shots were exchanged and that ten members of the mob were badly injured.

PORTLAN Nov. 22.—For nearly\ two hours to-day the Federal court lis- tened to the opening addresses of coun- sel representing the Government and the | defense in the trial of the case of the .Umted States against Miss Marie L. Ware, Mrs.,Emma L. Watson, 8. A. D. Puter, Horace G. McKinley, W. D. Tar- | pley, Henry C. Barr, Frank H. Wolga- mot and others on the charge of con- ! spiracy for the purpose of defrauding the Government out of public lands. Hall, for the prosecution, stated that he, would show that a conspiracy to defraud the Government out of public lands existed between the defendants; that it is not necessary to prove that ! they knew each other or that they all entered the conspiracy at the same time; that it suffices to show that they were all working toward a purpose. Re- ' garding the specific charge against each of the defendants Hall said: “Tne prosecution will show that of these parties Mrs. Emma l. Watson, under the name of Emma L. Porter, appeared at the Oregon City Land Of- | fice and made a filing on a tract of | land, representing that she had lived there, and that she brought evidence | of parties, partly fictitious, and after making proof was given a patent by | the Government, and that this title was then conveyed to Mrs. Emma L. | Watson. We will show that Frank Wolgamot did the same thing and transferred his title to Mrs. Watson. Harry Barr did likewise. So far as we can discover, out of sixteen cases the | persons making affidavits were ficti- | tious or knew nothing of the facts of | the case. “We will show that some of these| names were forged and signed by Ma- rie Ware and Horace G. McKinley. These are not items of immediate mo- ment or punishable in this trial, but are evidences of conspiracy. “We will show that the acts of Tar- | | | | i pley and McKinley in taking testimony | and of Puter and Mrs. Watson in)| working to secure patents all tended | to show conmspiracy. We will shuw! that each assisted in furthering the | plan until conspiracy was consum- mated.” H The defense will fight the case from | several standpoints, but will. rely! chiefly upon the statute of limitations for relief in the court, claiming -that | the conspiracy must be shown to ex- ist beyond a reasonable doubt. Another thing of note was statement made by the defensé that if, as was charged in the indictment, fic- titious names had been used and false | affidavits made these conditions would make any title granted by the Gov-| ernment void and of no effect and if this was so, no harm had been done, | the Government had not been de-| frauded and consequently there had | been no conspiracy in fact, and though acts morally wrong might | have been dome, no crime had been; committed, punishable by the court. I At the conclusion of the opening ar- | gument Charles B. | Moores, former | Register of the Land Office at Oregon | City, was called to the witness stand and identified sixteen affidavits filed in his office during the year 1900. The | balance of the day was consumed in! an argument regarding the admissi- | bility of these documents. The court finally ruled that they could be ad- mitted. | | Rk R T R ST P 4 !

Johnson essayed again to break the force of the testimony of witness that | Miss Dolbeer was of sound mind when | she made her will, but success was very small. Ground covered the day | before was gone over again, but noth- | ing new or important developed. Arthur B. Watson, brother of Deug- las S. Watson, and with him a witness to the will of Bertha M. Dolbeer, was next called. He told of the arrival of Miss Dolbeer at the Watson offices on April 23, 1904, to have him and his brother attest her execution of the testament now being contested. She produced eight pages of closely written matter, which she said was her will, and in the presence of the witness and his brother she dateg and signed the instrument. In the conversation that followed Miss Dolbeer spoke happily of the trip | she was about to take to Europe and was in the best of spirits, said Watson. “What her mental when she executed the will?” “She was absolutely sane." “Do you think she was capable of mukmg a testament? “I think she was. The witness said his acquaintance with Miss Dolbeer was not very int mate. At Del Monte he saw her play- ing golf and taking part in the tour- | nament in which she came within one stroke of winning the trophy. She had also driven her automobile a great deal and proved herself an ex- pert chauffeur. On cross-examination was questioned searchingly as to the with whom he had talked!' the case, but there were no surprising revelations. Hiram Johnson contented himself in regard | to the statement of Watson that Miss Dolbeer was “absolutely sane” with | the answer of witness that he knew nothing whatever of insanity expert. MISS DOLBEER CHEERFUL. Albert Sutton, who answered that his | vocation was that of an architect, testi- fied that on April 23 he met Miss Dol- | beer just as she came from the office of as an the Watsons, immediately after signing | the will. He conversed with her for five minutes and she appeared cheerful and | spoke in a merry vein of the trip she was then about to take to Europe. Lucille B. Forman testified that she had known Miss Dolbeer many years and saw her the last time on Sunday, April 24, in the present year, the day after the will was made and a few days before she started for Europe. Miss Dolbeer came to the home of the witness, accompanied by Miss Mary | Jolliffe, and was in usual good spirits. | She said she expected to enjoy herself | { very much in London and Paris, for so | many of her friends were there. This testimony of Mrs. Forman is contradictory of the statemeat of Mrs. J. L. Moody that on the saeme Sunday afternoon, when Miss Dolbeer called on her, the testatrix exhibited signs of in- sanity, having what Mrs. oody de- | scribed as a “paroxysm of terror.” Miss Dolbeer left Mrs. Moody's home to cail | on Mrs. Forman. | Mrs. Forman also disputed the state- ments of Mrs. Moody that during the | last year of her life a great change came over Miss Dolbeer, indicating melancholia. The witness told of nu- merous social affairs and automobile parties into which the-testatrix entered | with great zest. Nothing whatever in | the manner or conduct of Miss Dolbeer could be interpreted by Mrs. Forman | as evidence of melancholia. The young | phlegmatic in tempera- | ment, but no change came over her| showing that her mind was failing. Next came Willlam Carson, hair and | beard white with age and eyesight so defective that he had to be led to lhel witness chair. “I knew John Dolbeer for fifty odd years,” he said. “He was an engineer at a lumber mill in Humboldt County when 1 first met him. I was in busi- ness there. In April, 1863, we became | partners, and that relation cuminued’ for forty years.” The Dolbedr-Carson Lumber Com- pany is still in existence. The witness said that John Dolbeer was a man of good average judgment, was honorable and had no bad habits. | Carson lived in Eureka and looked after the business at that end, while Dolbeer resided in San Francisco and inad charge of the business here. “I saw Mrs. Dolbeer about a year before and about six months after the birth of Eertha,” said the witness, “and the mother appeared always to be in good health.” Six months after the death of John Dolbeer the witness found Miss Dol- beer cheerful. She consulted him fre- quently @ business, and her mind was clear at aM times” “I saw her cleven months before she departed for Europe, and there was nothing strange or unusual about her whataver,” declared Carson. A number of business letters from Miss Dolbeer to the witness, in which she wrote of thefr joint business af- fairs, were introduced to show the sane and thoughtful eonsideration she gave to her affairs. On cross-examination Carson was asked if he knew of Mrs. Dolbeer’s de- partnres from home in 1875 and 1878 and taking up apartments in the Oc- cidental Hotel, but all he could say was that he “understood there was rouble in the family.” Did you know of any # John Dol- beer's vagaries of mind, particularly that of a belief that the slaughtering of ull Protestants was imminent?” asked Juhnson. “] 4id not.” The trial will be resumed this’ mnrn- —ee————— Asylum for Utah Slasher.
