THE CRAMER MYSTERY.
Another Important Revelation
A Private Session of the Jury Last
 Night.

sporting man of Boston, who was in the grove at Savin Rock on Thursday and Friday even ings, August and 5. and saw the transac- tion on the flying horses when young lady, | presumably Jennie Cramer, manifested signs | of dizziness and asked piteously for the fly | ing horses to be stopped. Further than that l it does not appear that he knows anything about the tragedy, though at first it was thought he might know something about it. l He was in West Haven yesterday, saying that he was waiting for the jury to call him if they wanted him. He said he wanted to get away, having something to attend to, and could not stay around much longer. He was going back to Boston and would leave his address and if they wanted him they would know where to find him.
 However, the jury did not meet, and there was considerable speculation as to when they would meet. Members of the jury were seen and they thought the jury would not meet again before the latter part of the week, though one juror half ex- pected summons would be out for meet ing to-day or tomorrow. The jury have more evidence to hear, and they expect to wait until they hear the report of Dr. Chit tenden as to the results of his chemical anal ysis The jury maintain reticence as to the exact causes which led to the decision to have chemical analysis made BLANCHE DOUGLASS. No end of inquiries are still made by peo- pie visiting the Rock as to where the stick with the rag on top is, which marks the spot where the body of Jennie Cramer was found, and numberless inquiries are made as to which is the house where Blanche Douglass is detained a prisoner. Rumors were rife yesterday again that she had been transferred to quarters at the jail, but up to o'clock last evening she had not arrived there and no expectation of receiving her there was then entertained. A ripple of excitement was created yesterday by the return to West Haven of James Reilly, Blanche Douglass lover. He came yesterday morning from New York, brought up by man, Walter Travers, whom Deputy Sheriff Peck had despatched to New York for the purpose. What object was in view | in this maneuvre was not exactly divined, but it was surmised that it was in pursuance of plan to give Blanche one more oppor- | tunity to tell sthe truth, the whole truth, | and nothing but the truth" or else go to | durance vile. How much value is to be at | tached to Blanche's testimony is puzzler to l many people, and since the new testimony ! of last week showing that she did not tell the truth to the jury at that mysterious mid night session with her, it is felt that not ! much dependence can be placed upon her l statements. The State Attorney, MT. Doe- little, when asked as to whether it was best to send her to jail, replied that if sending her to jail would bring out 8 new story from her, the new revelation would be open to the same doubt that attaches to the others. Many people are convinced that she could tell great deal more if she was 8 mind to, and this view is made stronger as the testi- ! mony of MT. Mattoon and Mrs. Miller shows that she was untruthful in saying that she never saw Jennie Cramer alive after that Thursday noon According to those wit nesses, she was with Jennie many hours later on that Thursday than she said in her sworn evidence. - MORE LETTERS.
 Sheriff Peck received a letter written in German yesterday, which stated that thou sands of people believed that the jury was 8 bought complot, :" and that ''the State as well as the jury, deserved lynching, the same as is extended in the West; that the general belief was that the Malleys killed the girl" and signed z. Another letter was written in lead pencil, and read
 WEST HAVEN, August 27tb.
 Mrs Peck:
 The Woman detained at your house with so many Aliases to her name is deceitful and treacherous place her. when She free and there not much doubt but what She will be; for Sorry to Country then She will Laugh at you all, and tell you game; wee would be Afraid to have So dangerous a person under Our roof why her very mode of Hveing Ifs enough for you to fear. if nothing Else being ! Common prostitute. now take the advice of your we'll wishers, and have her safely lodged in jail till
 the sentiments of the People THE FLYING HORSES.
 Yesterday forenoon Harry Ford, the black moustached man, went to Chief Webster's office, accompanied by MT. Richardson, of Waterbury. Mr. Richardson's story is that he was at the shore that Friday night, August 5, with Harry Ford, to amuse himself, and that he saw Sheriff Peck and fell in with him, and walked with him in the grove. He was attracted to the sheriff because he saw he was an officer and because he looked like friend of his Joe Peck, and he stepped up to him and asked him if his name was not Peck; they thus became acquainted lit tie, as he said for companion sake. "When I was near the flying horses there was no one on them. There were four persons that saw sitting on 8 bench in the grove, two ladies and two gentlemen. never saw them before, and would not be able to identify them again. I was not on the flying horses that night. I never saw Jennie I Cramer alive. I saw the body on the beach the next morning A lady whom I did not before. I said that had not. never had seen the lady before, I know that there was conversation testified to about what I said that morning. but the woman was mistaken. |"
 ANOTHER STORY.
 Henry O. Allen proprietor of the printing establishment in Garfield building, is reported to say that he saw James Malley, jr., and Jennie Cramer in carriage on Chapel street, on Friday evening, Aug. 5. It was going rapidly. He was quite positive it was Jennie Cramer as he had known her by sight good while, but was not so positive as to James Malley, jr., but thinks he could tell if he should see him whether he was the man or not.
 The New York Tribune, commenting upon the jury in the case, says: "In the Cramer investigation, for example, the Con- necticut jurymen have assumed the charac- ters of detectives, and have followed up fam cied clues and worked out theories born of personal prejudices, until they have devel- oped themselves into prosecutors and have become united for the simple duty which the law imposes on them of discovering by what means the unhappy woman came to her death. Their investigation is an elaborate trial of the two young men and one woman who are suspected though not absolutely charged with killing the poor victim. At the rate they are going on we shall not be sur prised to hear of their bringing in verdict of guilty and the coroner pronouncing sentence of death."
