THE MALLEY BOYS ARRESTED FOR JENNIE era

A Telegram from New Haven Conn. August

Cramcr. They were committed without hail for
one week and taken TO the county jail The

they may have.
GETTING AT THE TRUTH.

grew out of some Developments made within

ladies was Jennie Cramer who. together with
the Maleys, was well-known TO Mr.. Arfmann.
The other lady he did not know but she an

party was jolly and made things lively with
songs and laughter. His attention was particu-

almost to the point of forcing il upon her to
continue drinking. IL there lis no mistake about
the date this story supplies an important gap i'm
the testimony. So far as the evidence went
before the coroner's jury there was no positive
evidence as to Miss Cramers whereabouts from

the case one step further. 1t lis proven that the
quartet were together "Wednesday night. and
that the two girls breakfast ed together Thursday
| morning. Mr. Arfmanns story brings the
whole fonr together again Thursday night These
| stories about eating and drinking of the party
| nave given rise TO a theory Of the case which
however wide OF the truth it may eventually
prove TO be, certainly fits all the facts known,
ana is the only theory Yet advanced which does
not contain palpable Inconsistencies 1t is con-
ceded that the girl was extremely unlikely to
have committed suicide. and il she killed her

hand there seems TO be no motive apparent
which would induce the Malleys to Kill her

Late Thursday evening one witness is ready to
TESTIFY that he saw two women go into the NAL
ley house. Ii is generally believed they were
Jennie and Blanche Douglass. Little doubt ex-

again in company with James Malley. jr.
| A CONCLUSION.
1t is not at all unlikely. considering her expe-
rlences for two days past, that she was taken ILL.,
1t is not to be expected that the Malleys would
call physician unless they were really oblidged
to do so, since they would thereby expose them
selves to scandal as well as the woman. What
| would be more natural than that they should
give her doses OF medicine, such as laudanum
and what would be more natural than that she
should fall into a sleep that would last for a long
| Time and end in death? With q dead body on
| their hands under such circumstances what would
the Malley boys naturally do? The simple fact
that two witnesses testify to beach wagon being
| seen on Friday night after midnight in the very
locality where the body was found on Saturday
morning is a sufficient answer to this question
! f course no proof OF this theory has been elic-
tied, but it seems to be the only one that is not
| in any respect improbable. and which is not in
some way cOntradcted either by the testimony
! OF witnesses OF Of known facts. To be sure the
| testimony of Blanche Douglass contradicts il i'm
a few particulars. but her testimony, as she is
said to give it now, is certainly false in many
particulars. She is still trying to shield the
Malleys from something i'm spite of her declara-
tions to the contrary. She is kept closely by
Sheriff Peck, and allowed to see nobody but her
counsel, unless it is true, generally supposed,
that the counsel for the Malley boys is also al
lowed to see her and consult with her. Ger
tainly she is jealousy guarded from the press
for some reason. and no such questions as an in
telligent reporter would put to her have been
asked SO far as can be learned IL lis equally
impossible to obtain any statement of the NAL
legs, who refuse to talk about the case.
ONE OF THE great trials which the builder he
to endure is the ''satpetering" OF the brickwork,
or the white streaks which too often disfigure
the fronts of brick buildings. 1t Is worth not
| ing that this can usually be prevented by adding
Oil TO the mortar at the rate Of Q gallon to the
cask of lime. Linseed oil is generally used, but
any kind will do which does not contain salt. III
cement Is used in the mortar. an extra gallon of
Oil must be used for each cask of lime. When
the incrustatiORs have once formed on q build
ing they cannot be permanently removed, though
they can be for time bv washing with hot waite
or the muriatic acid generally used for washing
down brickwork-
