Nan Patterson Case Sees New Evidence Shaped by Prosecution
New York April 28 The prosecution reports a striking new bit of evidence since the Inez trial as Nan Patterson’s fate likely rests with the jury. Abraham Levy says the state’s case has fallen flat after Hyman Stern failed to identify Patterson in the gun purchase scene. Annie Shapiro offers to testify that she stood within a yard of the cab when the shot rang out. Young’s racing partner testified that he and Patterson traveled to rice tracks on the Pacific coast, while Margaret Young described her husband’s lack of revolver ownership and her own gun kept for protection. The revolver identified by Rand was loaded, and cartridges remained in the chamber until the weapon was seized.
