NEW YORK, May 14.—Somowli Astonishment of those At the mo

dinner to-night of the Phi Delta Pi Cub, ni organisation of lawyers, Justina Veron M. Davis of the Eupreme Court of the State of Now York, who was the guest of honour, g.ve his opinion as to the guilt of Nan Patterson, while making an argument in defence of Assistant District Attorney Rand; who had prosecuted the woman at hor three trials for the murder of Caesar Young.

Justice Davis, who presided at the first two trials of the former chorus girl, sald that she had lied from beginning to end, it was his opinion that the majority of the community now believed that Miss Patter son held the pistol by which Young was shot; that J. Morgan Smith bought weapon and gave it to her, charging her the same time with the duty of scaring " Young.

"

In the middle of the Justice's romarks

the reporters were asked t› leave the: room, but before they had reached the door they were called back by the speaker, who said that he left it to their discretion as to juss what parts of his speech were to be used.

We have had a great deal in the pak- lic Press of late of severe criticism of Mr Rand and his conduct of the trial,' said the Justice. You cannot prosecute a criminal without telling what you believe to be the truth. In the second trial before me the defendant went on the stand, and it was quite obvious that she was telling false- hoods from beginning to end. The very air seemed charged with the fact that she was lying. She was young. It was natural that the public should sym-

Admiral Charles O'Neil, whom I lately THE OWL, GRILL & OYSTER

Interviewed, said to me:The United

States Government has sont me to visit the

principal ship-building yards of Europe. In my report I have noted that Austria- Hungary possesses the fastest battle-ships in the world; that is to say, they are two

As to tonnage, 12,000 tons is, my opinion, a very practical stand- ard, and I consider that the trio built at the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino is a very formidable little squadron, that need not- fear any foe, as it can both invito combat, or avoid it, as it deemed prudent,'

It is interesting, in this connection, to recall the opinions of Admiral Domvile, Admiral Fisher, and Rear Admiral Barker, of the United States_navy, which were freely expressed to me, and to the Austrian
