Railroad Grove with friend and | saw two young women, 'srounders, D whom | he spoke to his friend about, and passing on | they came into the grove and there his at- tention was attracted by young man with | a black moustache, who was reclining in the | lap of young woman. while on the other side of the young man was girl who had 1 her head down in her hands The next morning when he saw the remains of Jennie Cramer he took square look at the face of the dead girl and the impression flashed upon him that it was the face of the girl he saw the evening before with her face in her hands. He could not swear positively they were one and the same, but such was his im- pression.
 coNTRADIorED STATEMENTS.
 The report that MT. Arfman, of the South End House, said the two Malleys with Jennie Cramer and another lady were at the house on the Thursday evening before the murder, is contradicted by Mir.

 The above description of dress have just obtained from Mrs. Cramer in New Haven. Please publish the above description, Mir. Editor, and thereby confer favor on the afflicted ones. GEO. ". METoALF;; Coroner. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY PICKETT, when questioned last evening about the turn affairs had taken in the Cramer mystery, said he had nothing further to say. He thought the West Haven authorities were on
 the right track and were doing good and effective work. When asked if he did not think the so-called Douglass girl should be l arrested on the same charge as the Malley boys had been, he declined to express any opinion, and in fact on the whole subject was l inclined to be very reticent. He and Chief Webster had quite a lengthy consultation during the evening, but neither gentlemen seemed inclined to divulge what transpired between them.
 ARRIVAL OF DR. CHITTENDEN. Professor Chittenden arrived from Litch- field last evening and was taken by Dr. Hotchkiss to Chief Webster's ofice After 8 short consultation the physicians left with the understanding that Professor Chittenden was to commence his chemical analysis at once.
 ANOTHER MATTER OF IMPORTANCE. It is stated by police authorities of this city that facts have developed that will throw new light upon the whole matter. It is said that the parties who offered Blanche Douglass $1 ,000 to take trip to Europe are where the officers can put their hands upon them at any time, and that their evidence will have an important bearing upon the whole matter. After the arrest of the Malleys yesterday Judge Blydenburgh went to Deputy Sheriff Peck's residence, on the West Haven shore, to see his client, Blanche Douglass. Con-
 stable Booth was in charge, Deputy Peck be- ing temporarily absent The attorney made
 his business known when the constable re- fused an audience, saying that his instruc- tions had been from the sheriff to allow no one to see the girl Later Judge Blyden- burgh found Deputy Sheriff Peck who said that the constable was mistaken, as he had no intention to exclude counsel from talking
 with Miss Douglass. The attorney was then permitted to see hls client in the presence of Deputy Peck. At the same time he consid- cred it an outrage that he should have been denied the privilege in the first instance. The Veteran Firemen.
