The Cramer Mystery.

NfRhf-RumOrs and The0f1es-GSett1n8 Ready for the ResumptiOn of the Case'
 The mystery in the Cramer case continues As to the suicide or accidental drowning theories, they are entertained by great many people. It would appear that by far the majority of people entertain the idea that the unfortunate girl met her death by violence. The case bids fair never to be un- travelled. The way Jennie Cramer died seems not likely ever to be found out. If she died by were saying Saturday in an animated discus sion of the case at West Haven shore, ''mur- der will out" and they proceeded to cite proof of the assertion. The mystery con- tinues the all absorbing topic to thousands. The suicide theory is entertained by some Of our most prominent and enlightened citizens, and many men whose opinions are entitled to weight think that the girl was piled with liquor by hard characters, and at last stupe- fed wandered of to the water's edge and was drowned. Did the doctors find evidence of liquors or drugs in their autopsy? That ques- tion will not be solved till Tuesday at the in- quest, but the idea is hinted at pretty clearly, in circles which have chance to hear about it and form opinions, that there was evidence of alcoholic or narcotic effects in the brain of the poor dead girl.
 s'There is something in the wind" said gentleman Saturday, ''and I think the jury have got clue which they don't disclose and which will produce 8 new sensation"
 The sensation Saturday was, of course, the Tribune story, which came out through Dr. Painter, of West Haven, and the city editor of the Tribune, in which Blanche Douglass admitted that she and the deceased occupied beds together with the Malleys on Wednesday night. pr. Painter was enabled to find Blanche by means of the editor, and in re- turn gave the editor what Blanche told him. Of course the news created a sensation here, and not alone here but in New York, where the interest in the affair is widespread. Copies of the paper were in demand and all were soon gone from the newsstands. The story is given below.
 BLANoHE's ARRIVAL.
 The next sensation of Saturday was the ar l rival of Blanche in company with Detective | Brewer, who went to New York and arrested 1 her on charge of perjury based upon her statements to Dr. Painter contradictory to what she said at the inquest. Brewer ar- l rived with his protege on the six o'clock train. Few people were at the depot. Had | it been known that she was coming no doubt a crowd of people would have been there tc | see her. As soon as it became noised around that she was at the lookup people focked te the City Hall at the side entrance to the DO ! ;k ok finoo if (

 was closeted with Chief Webster for 8 few
 moments and then given over to Brewer
