PRICE ONE CENT. GRAND JURY BALKS AGAIN, PATTEROON GIRL NOT INDICTED ‘That Body Surprises Mr. Rand by Fail. "ing to Return a True Bill, but Mr. Jerome Insists that the Case Is Still Pending. YOUNG’S SISTER-IN-LAW ' TRIES TO ATTACK ACTRESS | William Stemm, Jr., Asserts that He Is the Man Who Jumped onCab After the Shooting, But Algernon C. Meyer Contradicts Him. ‘The Grand Jury failed to return an indictment against “Nan’’ Pat- terson this a. :rnoon, although the District-Attorney, through his assist- ant, Mr, Rand, had previously anno&nced that the case had been pre- sented in a thorough manner. Mr. Rand expressed surprise when he found that there was no indictment. Mr. Jerome said that he did not think that the Grand Jury had refused to indict the young ‘oman, but attributed the fact that an indictment was not filed to an error in presenting the indictment to the foreman. The District-Attorney added that the case was still pending oaemtgefere the Grand-Jury-and-tint-the woman could not be admitted td bail until that body “had disposed of it. SAYS HE RODE ON THE CAB. William Stemm, jr., appeared at the District-Attorney’s office this af- ternoon and announced that he was the man whom Algernon Meyer, the man who says that he saw Young shoot himself, saw jump on the step of the cab and peer over the apron. Stemm related an entirely new story of the shooting, saying that it occurred at York street and West Broadway, directly opposite the door of the stable of his father, who is a truckman. ‘An Evening World reporter went with Mr. Meyer to see Stemm and found him at the Stemm stable with his father. Mr. Meyer immediately gaid that Stemm was not the man who climbed up on the step of the cab. “] would know the man if I saw him,” said Mr. Meyer. “It was not this man. I had a good view of the real witness as he passed me." The elder Stemm thereupon attempted to assault The Evening World reporter who accompanied Mr. Meyer. He was held off, gently, and after the two Stemms had been cooled down they repeated.the story told earlier in the day tothe District-Attorney. Young Stemm did not explain how he came to ride on the cab step a distance of six blocks without speaking to the woman inside or to the cab man. Amother man has announced that he jumped on the step of the cab. His name is Harry She: ard. He is a clerk for the Mallory Steamship line. Mr. Ghephard has been ordered to uppear at the District-Attorney’s office and tell his story.” Stemm told an Evening World reporter to-day that he was standing tn front of the stable of his father, In West Broadway, just opposite York street, when he heard a shot. He looked out and saw smoke floating from the front of a hansem . | “tT ran out,” he Said, “and jumped on the step cf, the cab and looked in. ‘A dead man was lying across a woman's lap. HE SAW NO REVOLVER. 5 “Bhe was pale and very nervous. I saw no pistol. After reaching Franklin street I rode in the cab to the Hudson Street Hospital, helped carry the body in and helped the girl upstairs. I did not talk to her, nor did she say anything to me,” \ Previous to this statement the elder Stemm in conversation with an ®vening World reporter eaid that his son had talked to Nan Patterson thet she had talked to ‘him. An adjournment was taken until] Monday morning. when the inquest {nto the death of Caesar Young was called before Coroner Brown to-day, ‘This was because of Mre. Morgan Smith, the brother-in-law and sister of Nan Patterson, who had been ordered to appear. While the court was in session Mrs. Luce, a sister of Young, at- tempted to strike “Nan” Patterson, shaking her *fist and calling her names, Out in the corridor she attempted to get at the Patterson girl again, but was blocked by court officers. bs ‘The District-Attorney desires to have Smith and his wife subjected to the scrutiny of Hyman Stern, a pawnbroker at No. 516 Sixth avenue, who ) gold the pistol with which Young was killed on Friday. The pistol was bought by a man and a woman, and Stern says that the description of J. Morgan Smith and photographs of J, Morgan Smith correspond to the ap- pearance of the man who bought the pletol. ‘A body attachment has already been issued for Smith, but is operative only in this State. In case he is indicted he can be arrested in any State in which he may have his habitation when found. ANOTHER WITNESS MISSING. Another important witness against Nan Patterson in the case the Dis- trict-Attorney is endeavoring to build up in connection with the death of Caesar Yoyhg was reported missing to-day just before the resumption of the inquest. This witness is Harry Frank, a waiter in Flannery’s saloon, at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and St. Nicholas avenue, and with Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Smith he completes a list of three persons whom the District-Attorney would like to find, but cannot. Frank was present at the quarrel between Young and the Patterson girl on Friday night, in which she is alleged to have threatened him a few hours before the shooting. When questioned last Monday he gave his address as No, 1100 Broadway. A policeman who was sent for him discovered that No. {1100 ‘Broadway corresponds to one of the entrances to Madison Square. Frank has left the employment of Flannery and did not leave word where and Z the inability of the District-Attorney to find Mr. and i ™NE NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1904 MRS.
