There can be no manslaughter about it.- There should be no compromise verdict. She is eitler guilty of murder in the first degree or not at all.” With these words Abraham Levy, counsel for “Nan” Patterson, brought to a close this afternoon his five-hour argument in defense of the former Qchorul girl, charged with the murder of “Caesar” Young. During the long argument Miss Pat- jterson faced the jury unflinchingly. | The courtroom was crowded, most of the attendants being women, who struggled to zet a look at the defend- ant. At one time during the afternoon the Judge was compelled to stop Levy while court officers expelled from the room some women who persisted in discussing the case in audible tones, to the annoyance of all present. Levy reviewed all the testimony in detail and declared not a’ word had been introduced which showed any | purpose on the part of Miss Patterson or her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, to threaten the life of ‘Caesar” Young. : The suicide theory was emphasized by Levy, who contended that the pow- der stains on Young's fingers proved | that he had shot himself. Levy seout- | ed the idea that a girl would be able to make such an assault on a trained {athlete like Young. He also ridiculed the idea that Miss Patterson should have chosen a crowded public street| as a place for murder when she had | S0 many opportunities to attack Young where there would have been | little danger of detection. Levy warned the jurors that cir- cumstantial evidence must be.consid- ered with the greatest care, as any { judgment they might make could not | restore the life that had been taken. Sald he: | A circumstantial case carries with it the ne- cessity on the part of the prosecution to live up 1o the very letter of the law.
