Show Girl Accused of Murder of Tonag , to Go Free. The jury who have been trying Nan Patterson in New York for the murder of Caesar Young, the bookmaker, reported that they were unable to reach an agreement, and Recorder Goff discharged them from further consideration of the case. They had been sent back oaee to try again to reach a verdict. Nan Patterson was remanded to the Tombs. This means she will soon go free, as the district attorney’s office has announc-

ed she will not be tried again in case of a disagreement. One of the officers of the court said the jury stood three for acquittal and nine for manslaughter in the first degree. Nau was in court when the jury came for the second time, but was in a dead faint the whole time. A physician was sent for, but did not arrive, and Nan was carried back to her cell still unconscious. “Caesar” Young was killed on June 4, 1904, while riding in a cab witli Nan Patterson. She was arrested and has been tried three times on the charge of murder. The first trial failed because of the illness of a juror. In the second trial the jury disagreed. The theory of the prosecution was that the girl killed Young because he was about to sail to Europe to get rid of her. She declares he shot himself because he bad to leave her.
