Possible Developments in the Jennie Cra-
mser Mystery.
New York SUM-
NEW HAVEN, Aug. M.-Rumors in re-
gard to the death of Jennie Cramer null
tiply whenever there is lull in the
investigation by the authorities. An old
story has just been revamped in regard to
pin which was found in the hat of the
dead girl. DR.. Painter who has been
put in Coventry for the past week by
his associates on the jury of inquest
because of the suspicion that he
was a leaky vessel on occasion,
called on Mrs. Cramer yesterday and
questioned her in regard to this pin.
Mrs Cramer told him all she knew con-
cern1ng it, Mr. Stahl, the undertaken
who had charge of Jennie Cramer's body,
found pin stuck in her hat. The pin
was jet or gutta percha. 1t was in the
shape of horseshoe, and contained in
plated gold setting a tulip-shaped bell
depending from the center. The orna-
nent may be worth 70 cents. Mrs. Cra-
mer said to DR.. Painter that she thought
she saw this pin in the scarf of James
Malley, Jr., when she visited him in the
store on the afternoon of Thursday, Aug.
4, after Jennie had left her home. This
is the only testimony that points at all to
the young man as being the owner Of the
pin. Mrs. Cramer did not mention the
pin in her testimony before the coroner's
jury, and she says that this was because
Mr.. Bollman, who has the pin in his pos
session, did not wish her to do so. Mrs.
Cramer's idea that she saw it in the scarf
of James Malley on Thursday afternoon
is vague.
James Malley, Jr., when told the story
to-day, laughed and said that he thought
it would be hard work to prove that the
pin was ever his. "The only scarf pin
have had for years." he said, els this;''
and he drew from his scarf the pin which
he has long worn, and with which num-
Der of his acquaintance to-day have said
they are familiar. The pin is mosaic,
mounted in gold. The young man de-
clared that he had never worn pin such
as the one described, and that he had
never given pin of any description to
Jennie Cramer.
A somewhat mysterious proceeding in
connection with the case took place last
evening. At about O'Clock Lawyer
Bollman, accompanied by Detective
Reilly and John Dinnan, locksmith of
Orange street, drove down to the shore.
They went to number of bath houses,
which stand almost in front of summer
house owned by Mr.. Edward Malley, but
are rented for the season to Mr.. William
K. Townsend, lawyer of this city.
Four of the bath houses are hardly more
than closets, and stand side by side.
A fifth belongs to Mr.. Malley, and
stands BY itself, Just to the westward. It
is a bath and boat house in one. The
locksmith was set to work by the lawyer
and the detective, and he pried open the
doors of all the houses. 1t is said that
some things of Importance were found
inside. If there were, nobody else knows
it, for Mr. Bollman is like the remarkable
jury, and tells nothing A resident in the
neighborhood to-day pointed out to the
reporter carriage track about the boat
houses. The track was discovered on the
day after the finding of Jennie Cramer's
body. It runs from the shore road
around all five of the bath houses, be-
tween them and the water, and energies
again into the road. 1t is an awkward
and unusual way for carriage to go.
To-day the track may be traced its whole
length. There is only one track; that it
was made at night is inferred from the
blind way IN which it runs. From the
first clump of four bath houses, where
the carriage ran in, planking runs down
to the sand. The track meets a corner of
this, and the wood is bruised and
broken, evidently the passage of wheel
over it. Again, at the Malley bath house
the lowest of set of steps running up
from the sand was struck and scraped by
the carriage, as it wheeled too shortly in
order to get out again into the road. The
horses tracks are still visible in the sand,
and just by the Malley bath house these
tracks are numerous, and the sand is
ploughed up as though horse had stood
there for considerable time. The steps
attached to the Malley boat house lead to
a platform from which, ON the water side,
the place is entered. A post at the head
of the stairs bears the imprint of four
fingers by either bloody or dirty hand.
The house contains four little closets for
bathers to change their clothing in, and
a Whitehall boat supplied with oars and
ready for use at any time. Locksmith
Dinnan relocked all the bath houses af-
ter the lawyer and the detective examin-
ed them, and to-day they are shut and
locked as usual.
Two ladies, whose names are withheld.
have declared that they were at the shore
on the afternoon and evening of Friday.
Aug, 5, the day before Jennie Cramer's
body was found, and that they saw the
girl once that afternoon, and two or three
times in the evening. They knew Jennie
well, and are confident that they cannot
be mistaken. There were people with
her, they say, during the afternoon and
early evening. The Malley boys, whom
the ladies knew well, were not, they say.
among these, The last time the ladies
saw Jennie that evening she was in com
pany with dark complexioned and
rather stoutly built man unknown to
them. 1t is understood that these ladies'
