 Evening Session.
 At 7:45 the jury reassembled and contin- ued their Investigation The seats in the room were filled with men and boys who were apparently interested in the case as it proceeded. The first witness called was Wal ter E. Malley, who, being sworn, testified in reply to questions by Lawyer Bollman in substance as follows:
 MT. Bollman stated to witness that he need not testify to anything that would tend to criminate himself.
 The witness said he lived on Chapel street, New Haven, and was acquainted with Jennie Cramer. First met her at the Forbes House. East Haven. Last met her at his fathers house on Chapel street. Had been riding with her in company with MT. James Malley, jr., and Miss Douglass. When I first that James Malley and Miss Cramer were outside. We came back to New Haven, went to Redcliffe's and had refresh ments and then went to the Tontine Hotel. Then we made arrange ments to go out to South End, and went, stop ping at Buell's could not get supper there and then went to South End think this was week ago last Thursday. Came back and then went to Redclifes, where we took soda water and refreshments in my private rooms or those of my father, over Redcliffe's, where we stayed an hour or an hour and 8 half then went to the Tontine. I again called at the Elliott House and saw Miss Douglass and asked her to come to our house, hot o1n &or fathers house and would have Miss Cram CT come with her. I left the Elliott House be- tween and o'clock, and at our house we had refreshments, consisting of ice cream, fruit, cake and sautern wine. Miss Doug lass afterwards complained of sickness and suggested that she remain and not go home. Miss Cramer said, 'sIf you do not want to re- main will go home with you" then got some ginger and water for Miss Douglass and showed the ladies to room. Something was said about getting doctor and proposed to get one Miss Douglass thought she would get over her illness and I did not go. I do not think she was in 8 fit condition to go home. I had carriages at my command to take the ladies home, but it was late at the time, say II o'clock There were servants about the house when Miss Douglass and Miss Cramer were there; I did not care whether they saw the girls or not and was not backward about their knowing it; did not desire to keep the girls there over night if could; the girls oc- cupied my room over night, but did not see them during the night; I had to go to the store early in the morning, and knocked at the door to awaken them. It might have been true that I awoke them early because did not want the girls to be seen; the ice cream we had was ordered from Redcliffe's, and while took some pains to keep the servants away from the room while it was served, yet 1t WAS not for any reason.
 have learned nothing that will throw any light on the death of Jennie Cramer. I be- came acquainted with Miss Douglass about four weeks ago, through MT. Duff, whom became acquainted with in Seton Hall Col lege three or four years ago. I don't know where MT. Duff's residence is at present. MT. Duff informed me that Miss Douglass was coming to New Haven to spend the summer. met them. at the steamboat. Afterward saw them quite frequently. I think Miss Doug lass brother took her to the boat in New York where Mir. Duff met her. I don't know where Miss Douglass brother lives. I think her parents are not living. New Haven was mentioned to Miss Douglass as pleasant place to spend the summer. I know nothing about the past of Miss Doug lass. I don't know Miss Brown. whom we met at the Forbes House. I knew that James Malley, jr., and Miss Cramer were coming there. I think I called on Miss Douglass about twelve times during her stay in the city. She called at the store twice and met her on the Green after Miss Cramer's death I took Miss Douglass to be very re- spectacle lady. I never introduced her to any members of my family or any lady friend. I thought it my duty to make it as pleasant as possible for her during her stay in the city. know that Miss Douglass paid her own bills at the Tontine Hotel and Elliott House. I first heard that Jennie Cramer was dead last Saturday morning, when James Malley, jr., came and told me. I did not think it was true and he told me to go see. went down Grand street and found that the store of her father was not closed and doubted the story. did not know that James Malley, jr., had eyer called at the house before. In coming up Chapel street we saw Miss Douglass walk ing ahead She was looking for James Malley, jr. We stopped and she told us Of the death of Miss Cramer and VIC told her we did not believe it. Took walk with Miss Douglass and talked the matter over. We may have gone out Whitney avenue. Miss Douglass did not explain whether she had sent word to James about the death of Miss Cramer. did not see Miss Douglass after Thursday morning until later in the same day, when saw her about Il or 11:30 in the morning near the corner of Chapel and Church streets. She said that Miss Cramer was afraid that her mother would find fault with her for staying out all night Miss Douglass went home with Miss Cramer and told me that her mother was very angry; I don't know who Miss Douglass dressmaker is, but think she is located on Chapel street between York and High streets, on the left hand side going up; Miss Doug lass told me, when I met her on Snow's cor ner, that she saw Jennie on one of the West Haven cars; went with Miss Douglass to the Elliott House, and then went back to the store, remaining until 10 o'clock, when

We had bottle of claret with supper. We returned across Chapel street bridge, reaching home about Il o'clock. Think we drove up Wooster street to State street and then, I think, turned up George street. Drove past the store through Temple street. Think we drove fifteen or twenty minutes before we went home. When we arrived at the Elliott House think got out Did not see anybody about the hotel Think Miss Douglass went into the hotel through the main office. Think the servants saw me when I arrived home. l was not around this shore (West Haven) that night (Friday), and have not been here since a week ago last Friday.
