A Serious Accident. (.

Walter F. Gerard, son of Councilman c. E. Gerard, was seriously injured on Saturday afternoon. A travelling show came into the city and attempted to pitch their tent in the rear of Bart Healy's place on Factory street. They were 'tsquatters, and Mir. Healy or dered them to leave As usual on such occa- sions large number of boys gathered at the scene, and while the tent was being taken down the center pole fell and struck young Gerard on the head, rendering him uncon- scious, and slightly cutting another boy on the head named John Blake. Gerard was inn mediately taken home, and after an hours hard work was restored to consciousness Physicians were called, and they feared con- gestion of the brain. Yesterday the young mans symptoms were better. though he was not considered out of danger. The showmen immediately decamped after seeing the dam age they had done.

ANOTHER THEORY.

Prosecuting Attorney Pickett says as to the theory that the deceased was killed or died in this city and her remains taken to the shore:
 sgThere is no one so idiotic to carry that body to the West Haven shore when they had to pass the West river, deep and rapid stream that would have carried the body out. It would have been better sense to have car ried it to the top of either East or West Rock, or else to have left it in the center of the Green It is perfectly brainless theory to suppose that those boys carried that body in beach wagon through 8 thickly popu- lated city with plenty of policemen around Why it is absurd" ,"

Judge Blydenburgh advanced theory, which is particularly important as coming from the counsel, as to the way Jennie Ora mer died. In his opinion Jennie Cramer, if foully dealt with, might have met some chance acquaintances of rough kind, or persons who knew her by sight. They might have drugged her to accomplish base pur- pose and she might have died from the drug. Concerning the Malleys he insisted that it was case of mistaken identity, and that those that thought they saw the Malleys at the shore that Friday night were in error. He thought that all candid people could see easily what Happy Jack" Gilchrist said could not be so.

THQRSDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENTS.
 One of the facts of importance in the case discovered Saturday was the discovery of the man and woman who were in Redclife's res taurant on Thursday night, Aug. 4, the even ing when, according to the manager of the restaurant, Jennie Cramer, Blanche Douglass and Walter Mallsy were there, and who have been sought several days through an adver- tisement inserted by Lawyer Blydenburgh, counsel for the Malleys, in the New Haven papers.
 The discovery made is of the couple. It was not made by the detectives, and the pair did not announce themselves voluntarily. One was musician, playing in the American band. His name is Charles T. Howe. The other was Miss Bertha Sperry, who is em- ployed by Hines Sewing Machine company in the Masonic building in Chapel street. MT. Howe was not in town, but an engagement has been made for him to meet the Malley lawyers.
