ARSENIC IN THE STORES.

The druggists official record of the sale of poisons, which under the new law they keep, have all been scrutinized by the authorities for the prosecution, but it is understood with out avail. The law went into effect simulta- neously with the statute directing that all druggists must have license The poison book is an open book, open to public inspec- tion. By the Connecticut law the sale only of arsenic, prussic acid and strychnine is or dered recorded. In some States long cata- logue of poisons is included under the law The facts to be recorded here are date of pur- chase, kind of poison purchased, for what purpose, name of purchaser, residence and the name of the druggist or clerk dispensing it. A look at two druggists records shows the purchasers invariably wanted the arsenic for cats and dogs.

THE YOUNG VALLEYS.

Walter was given the news on Saturday evening He took it rather hard and seemed | nervous. It was not communicated to James l as the jailer knew that he was sick He had l been feeling ill all the afternoon, showing chills and fever symptoms.

He heard the verdict from his brother, Dr. Edward Malley of Wilkesbarre Pa who arrived Saturday on a visit, and who 1 is recent graduate of 8 medical college. and now engaged in the practice of medicine with his brother, pr. A. P. Malley, of Wilkes barre. James received the news without showing great depression and in short time talked with his brother quite freely and had apparently recovered his spirits. He spoke confidently as to the result of the case when the defense had been fully heard.
 Yesterday being Sunday Walter and James were given the freedom of large upper room with some relatives, privilege they seemed to enjoy.
 IMPORTANT EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE.
 The preliminary hearing in the case of the young men commences this morning in West Haven It will probably last the greater part of the week and may lap over upon next week. The young men will be taken down this morning at about half-past eight. The defense say they have important testi- mony.
 One important piece of testimony of which we learn is that of young lady of Walline- ford named Mary Harland. number of witnesses for the State have testified to see ing James MalIey, jr., walking with young lady on that Friday whom some were posi- tive was Jennie Cramer, while others were not certain, or did not know the young lady, but did see James. This young lady made visits to this city to take music lessons and will testify that at three different times that Friday she was walking with James through accidental meetings, and once was in the store making purchases and talking with him. It is said that this young lady might easily have been mistaken for Jennie Cramer. WALTER WALLETS EP1srLEs TO BLANCHE.
