| Vigorous Work by the ProsecutiOn-In-
 vestfgating Clues--The Pin Evidence -RumOrs.
 The coroner was actively engaged yester- day in the Cramer case, and was stirring up | people at the shore. James I. Hayes and Detective Ball were also busy at the shore | again yesterday The talk is of new evidence | of some importance. The stake with the 1 white rag upon it where the body was found was yesterday and the day before visited by at least l, 900 people, so observers say. Some investigations were made by Coroner Boll- man and Detective Reilly at the boat and bath house pertaining to the Malley shore residence They took J. J. Dinnan the lock- smith along, and the locks on the bath and boat houses were picked, nine locks in all A careful search of the premises was made and report says the search was attended with some success. The beach wagon story IS as- sociated with tracks seen near the premises, but the coroner is reticent as to discoveries.
 Among the new reports is the pin story, that strange pin was found in the meshes of Jennie's hat which did not belong to Jennie, and which Mrs. Cramer said, on be- ing told of it, was the identical pin she saw on James Malley's cravat on that Thurs day afternoon when she called to see him to find out if possible where her daughter Was The clue has been taken in hand by the au- thorities. James Malley's lawyers pooh-pooh at the story. denominating it as one of many silly inventions. The pin is shaped like horse shoe and has long prong. The pin will figure at the inquest probably, as Coro- ner Bollman and the detectives have been working it up.
 The Douglass woman still remains at Sheriff Peck's. The house seems to be as much an object of interest as ever, and many a curious glance is directed at the windows by passers-by, and anything like dress among the shrubbery, if caught sight of, furnishes subject of close enquiry and re- mark. Some talk was floating about yester- | day that the authorities proposed to change | her quarters to the jail in order to squeeze a supplementary confession from her, but no step of the kind has been taken or is contem- plated as far as heard from. Some of the New Haven authorities think it would be well to try the virtue of bolts and bars as means | of coaxing 8 confession, but some of the West Haven authorities feel fairly satisfied that the woman has told all she knows, and the ends of justice are better served by keep ing her where she is. Geo. R. Kelsey, fore man of the jury, had an interview with Blanche yesterday, but what he learned is not known. MT. Kelsey says the jury are
 working hard, and when they finish will have made clean work of it, with no loose
 ends hanging.
 Judge Blydenburgh has not decided in
 reference to habeas corpus proceeding. He
 said that he should wait until in his judg- ment the right time had arrived, and that
 would depend upon certain contingencies
 that were likely to turn up at any time
 when, he did not know.

 . George Morris son of Eli Morris of BPS ) Grand street, says he recognized Jennie Cramer getting on horse car at the corner ) of State and Chapel streets on the Thursday morning Another lady was with her, prob E ably Blanche Douglass. This was when the
 two girls were going to Jenn1e's home or Grand street. But further, the young mar saw Jennie and another young woman agair taking the car to come back toward the cen
 ter of the city, while Blanche says she die not come away from the house with her.
 Mrs. Cramer, in an interview with tht } Tribune reporter, says of her: 'She wal fided everything to me. She used to go te Sunday school and church at the old NortI 3 church until she was fifteen. Then she gav' 3 it up when went to Europe. She was SICK ly and in poor health, until within lev
 years yet she was even then delicate, ant her peculiar white complexion was mainl. f the result of her weak physical state. Sh 7 made confidant of me in everything; 1t hat , l become a custom with her. If she had has any trouble or done anything wrong shoul' have known it. She told me all about he
 relations to George Higgins. former clerl , in the Malley store, and said that he was al l ways gentlemanly toward her. He cam
 here last fall and remained some three even ings in all, remaining until about 10 o'clock l Jennie said she could not say the same o | James Malley, jr., and that she d1d not knoN ! what to do she wished to get away fror him. She deceived him often in order t {; avoid going with him. The note she wrot : to him saying she was going to Bristol whe r he asked her to go with Walter and Blanch and himself was untrue. Yet she said to m once, I won't deceive him, mother, for = crosse examines me until he finds out th z truth"

 Mir. Fox advanced the following theory t ? an interviewer which has importance there , fore as the probable theory of the defence It was probably true that Jennie Cramer wa , | at the Railroad Grove at Savin Rock on Fri } day afternoon and evening, but that eithe , 1 James or Walter Malley was with her wa not the fact She had doubtless gone ou : alone to the grove, feeling that she wouh not be welcomed home by her mother, ant knowing that neither Blanche Douglass no , James and Walter Ma1ley desired her com / pany MT. Fox explained that as Jennie mother had begun a campaign against tn |, Douglass woman and the Malley boys fo taking her daughter with them on their ex
 cursions they desired to bring about 8 cessa
 tion of hostilities by not permitting her t.
 accompany them. Therefore, MT. Fox says if Jennie Cramer was at the grove on Frida. afternoon or evening, and was in the compa ny of anyone, that person was not James O
 Walter Malley or Blanche Douglass.
 The perjury case against Blanche Douglas
 was adjourned last Thursday until this morn
 ing, but reports yesterday indicated anothe postponement.
