An important feature of sar Y re 1 jur. brought out was the fact that Young gave the woman a postal card on which he wrote his name and address, saying it was something she might need. The crowd in the courtroom became suddenly still when the former show girl took the stand. The first of her ‘!esnmwn,\'. relating to herself, was given in a low, even voice, but as she pro- | ceeded her tones became more tense | until, in her account of the fatal cab | ride, her voice filled with tragic ex- pression. TRAGEDY IN THE CAB. i Early in her story Miss Patterson told of her original meeting with Young, of their life togetheg, and of their contemplated European trip. She : told of her talk with Young the night before his proposed departure for Southampton; of her being awakened by a telephonic message from him to g0 to the pier to see him off; of the ride down town; of the moments in a on, and of the ride in the ¢ab before he shooting. She was asked to de- scribe what occurred after leaving the saloon while driving down West Broad- way. “We talked about his going away, and he kept questioning me about my ‘HELVETIA ’1?“( €C ’JBEN'V-' r-&',»n;vrt‘. e coming to meet him,” she said. “I Eva o"ated did not say anything and finally he p sald: ‘But I don't feel nositive that you are going to come over. I believe that you are fooling. Are you? Then he said, ‘Are you going? I said,| “Well, sar, there's no use saying 1 will, because I've made up my mind | not to, but you go over there and get things quieted down until the folks | jhave forgotien about things.. I will meet you at the Saratoga meeting.’ ‘ “He looked at me awhile and said, Do vou mean that?’ and then he grabbed | | me by the hand nearest to him and | | pulled me over toward him. He hurt | | me so that I tried to pull away, but I| could not get away from him. I put| my other. hand up and he grabbed me. Somehow or other I got away from him. 1 told him that he hurt me. | “He said, ‘If you don’t come- over | there, and I have to wait until the‘ Saratoga meeting, I may ne¥er see you again.

But little information to-day as to Mrs. Chadwick’s jewelry or of a missing trunk and valise the/ receiver desires to find. The examina- | tion to-day of two of the witnesses, Emil Hoover, Mrs. Chadwick’s son, and Freda Swanstrom, her maid, centered out these articles. From several ac jons made Receiver Loeser, how ever, will continue his inqu hope of locating the property. At the afternoon session nf the court Benjamin G. Malzimer, manager of a! Cleveland fur company, told of and rugs valued at $2000 which we held for Mrs. Chadwick. The prop: tor of the same concern denied, in an- swer to a question, that Mrs. Chadwick had purchased a $1600 fur-lined coat. — Young fell over on my lap, way up, fell again and I was having a spasm. thought he ing and twitching.

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 al- most daily. Then she came to New York on May 2 and the next day Young called on her at her hotel: They had no quarrel. She sald the first proposition made to her that she should leave Young was made by Young's brother-in-law, Me- Kean, who said-that Mrs. Young want- | ed Miss Patterson to go away- The conversation with McKean took place in a restaurant. Young was present and they talked over the subject for three-quarters of an hour. AT THE RACES WITH YOUNG. Later in the same evening the three went to Harlem. There it was decided that Miss Patterson should go to Eu- rope, and McKean promised to get the steamship ticket for her. After that she remained several days at a hotel and Young called on her until he went down to Sheepshead Bay to live. Then she did not see him for nine days. On June 3 Young called her by telephone and asked her to go tosthe races. She went with her brother-in-law, J. Mor- gan Smith, reaching the Gravesend track at 2 o'clock. There they met Young, and she put some bets on the , first race with money Young gave her. | Smith was acting as commissioner for Young that afternoon. Miss Patterson said she remained at the track until after the sixth race. She placed a bet on Cricket in the final ace, at Young’s suggestion, and won. Smith cashed the bet for her. "They returned to the city by train.

Hazelton said he was was on West Broadway on the morning of June 4 He was walking slowly along when he saw a hansom cab ap- proaching. There were two persons in the cab, one a woman, whom he identi- fied as the defendant, and the other a man. As the cab neared him he saw the flash of a revolver. “Did the man have the revol his hand at the time of the rep: the flash?” asked Levy. “He did,” replied the witness. ‘“He had both his hands raised above his As the shot rang out the man's head fell into the woman's lap and she placed her hands on top of his head.” Hazelton said there was a man with him who also saw the shooting.
