Getting Toward the Close of the Evi- | dence for the State-Testimony Regard | Ing the Friday Night at the Shore | Jennie Cramer and the Flying Horses | The Beer Purchase-The Love SPat at the Shore. Hearing was resumed in the Malley cases at West Haven yesterday morning at about 10 o'clock Justice Booth stated that there would be no session to-day in respect to the memory of the late Grand Juror Elam Hull. The justice, prisoners and lawyers having taken their places the court was opened. The first witness was
 Porter G. Hull Am clerk of the Tontine Hotel; have been for eleven years; never saw Blanche Douglass
 Witness was proceeding to say that such g woman, however, came to the hotel July 25th, when he was interrupted by Judge Blyden- burgh, who wanted no evidence except such as came from witness own knowledge. MT. Bollman tackled around and asked wit ness if he made out the woman's bill.
 Judge Blydenburgh objected, and the jus tice ruled in the question. The witness said he made out her bill from July g to July 30 five days; never saw the woman that I know of; never made any other bills against | her at that time no one but myself made | out the bills. Mir. Hull was not cross-exam- ] ined.
 Joseph H. Marvin, who attended the flying horses in the grove in August last, was the | next witness I saw Jennie Cramer on the | flying horses; young gentleman on the 1 horse beside her, on the night before she was found dead the young man with her was of medium height, slim build black mustache and wore a light small straw hat; don't know about the hat band they rode about ! five minutes
 Witness was asked to point out if he could the young man he saw riding on the horses with Jennie, and pointed out James Malley l ir. Asked if he was positive he was right, he | said he would not swear to it, and asked if it l was to the best of his knowledge and belief, | he said he would not like to say. | Cross-examined by ex-Judge Blydenburgh- was showing the flying horse machine when ! I saw the Cramer girl riding; don't recollect | hearing either her or her companion speak i; did not sec them again after they left the fly l ing horses they went and sat down on a bench.
 l He was asked if the Cramer girl had been 1 in the grove later talking loud and making considerable noise, if he would have been I apt to have noticed her. Witness thought yes. The body on the beach had on dress like that the girl had on who was on the ! horses; would not swear that I saw James Malley, jr., that night. No, sir; heard no | unusual exclamation from the Cramer girl I if she had said ''Oh, God stop the horses, , ! or q am para1yzed," think I should have heard it.
 MT. Daniel Evans, jr., again testifed-Re- side at 34 Kensington street am printer work for Futile, Warehouse & Taylor; was ! at the Rock that Friday night, Aug. 5 was about the flying horses several times that evening; the last time it was about o'clock l I saw party that thought knew, by his | countenance; he had on dark clothes and a light small straw hat the hat had around it 1 8 spotted band; he was 8 young man-be- \ tween twenty-one and twenty-six; he was standing around doing nothing in particular did not see him speaking to anyone.
 ''Can you point out the young man you saw here in this court room ?" MT. Boil man next asked.
 ''Walter Malley there he sits with his hands crossed on his head, 7" pointing out the individual q always thought he was James Malley, jr., until this affair came on; I am ! pretty positive he is the one saw; often saw him walking and several times in teams I have seen him in the Malley store, where l have traded more or less for pretty nearly 8 year. When I saw him that Friday night l thought he was James Malley."
 To Judge Blydenburgh-I don't want te swear positively it was Walter Malley I saw.
 'If this case had not come up you would never had thought further about seeing Wal ter Malley ?'
 ! "No, sir.'
 ''And but for the papers speakingof James Galley being down there that night you would not have thought you saw man whom you tosk to be him ?"
 'No, sir"
 '"That's all''
 Edward H. Smith testified: Live at Os- | 1ao ! and bowling alley on Grove street, West Ha- ven; on Friday night, August 5, at twenty minutes to 12 I closed up and went down to | the beach accompanied by my bartender J John McHugh, and my ten-pin alley boy, Joseph Early; we went to that part of the beach where is Attmore's bathing houses and re- | turned to the saloon about 12:30; while at the shore we heard the voices of man and woman on the beach apparently quarreling l the female voice sounded like that of young | girl /; all three of us stopped at the corner of \ Grove and Beach streets to listen, but could not make out anything that was said now ! am convinced that the voices did not come from the beach :; the reason is the wind was blowing that night from the west and I | could not have heard anything on the beach with an ear trumpet; I came to this eonclu | sion when I read Juror Curtiss' testimony as to the direction of the wind that night should think I was one hundred yards from where I heard the voices.
 ! Cross examined by Mir. Fox-The voices might have been coming from the Beach House.
 ''Bight it not more properly have been called love spat," MT. Fox asked. ! ''Yes, suppose so."
 "You have changed your testimony (given before the jury of inquest) as to the voices coming from the direction where the body was found? ?"
 ! ''Yes sir
 And now you don't know where the ! voices did come from ?'
 No, sir.'
 Might it not be that you were mistaken about hearing voices ?"
 s'No, I am sure heard the voices of man and woman quarreling."
 'tWhere did you first tell this story?'
 ''In TwitchelI $ Beers the next morniNg, I think to Happy Jack Gilchrist."
 'tAnd, as you stated to the jury of in quest, you at first thought it was a couple quarrelling because they got left by the cars?"
 ''Yes, sir; that's what I thought"
 Witness further said: No, sir it was not an unusual thing for parties to get left by the cars, and for quarrelling to ensue in con- ! sequence
 Howard C. Payne was the next witness. Keep saloon and bowling alley at Savin Rock and have two assistants, Mir. Emory and | Thomas Madden there was 8 man came in | and bought glass of beer and took out one to friend at the door; the friend afterward said, ''Come, Malley, let's be going;" think it was that :; perhaps he said, 'Let's be go- ing"
 Witness was asked if he could point out the person who bought the beer. He said yes, and pointed out Walter MalIey did not know | Jennie.
 l On the cross-examination he testified that he was sure that one of the Malleys was in his place that Friday evening; did not think of it until after had seen reports that the Malleys were connected with the case wouldn't swear it wasn't 10; can't tell within an hour, but should say it was somewhere between and 9 o'clock; Emory, Madden, the two boys and one or two other customers ! were in there don't remember who the cus- ! toners were.
