The hall was filled to excess, and many of the prominent men of the town were present. large number of newspapers in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts were represented. Judge Blydenburgh and Lawyer Fox, counsel for the Malleys, were present as spectators. Lawyer c. K. Bush | was present with the jury. Coroner Bollman unfolded some new evi- dsnce step by step, placing Jennie Cramer on the car bound to Savin Rock at 3 o'clock l on the afternoon before she was drowned, and identifying her by several witnesses as at Railroad Grove and vicinity. The great sen- | sation of the afternoon was created by the testimony of Gilchrist who placed James Malley, jr., as one of the three young men following after Jennie and another girl, the girls ahead laughing, and placing the same party of young men as still chasing after the | girls at half past p. m. This with testl- l fled also to exchanging salutations with Jen- nie Cramer the last time he saw her. After hearing much evidence, the session lasting four hours, the jury had 8 private session 1 and adjourned subject to the call of the coro- ner.
 TESTIMONY BEFORE THE CoRoNER's JURY RE- sUMED.
 There was some delay in commencing the hearing, owing to the absence of one or two of,,the jurors and number of witnesses. At 2:3O, however, the foreman rapped for order and Coroner Bollman called the names of eight or ten witnesses only two of whom responded. Constable Babcock was sent to look after those missing and the hearing pro- ceeded.
 The first witness called was Frank Keenan. He said he lived at 82 Chapel street, New Haven. I have known Jennie Cramer for five or six years. I last saw her the after noon before she was found dead. Soon after the Boston train came in which is due at 3:25 D. m., was at the ladies' entrance near the Union depot. One of the hack drivers remarked that he could not see how they carry so many passengers on the West Ha- ven cars. A car was coming down at the time, and I saw the Cramer girl sitting at the extreme end of one of the seats of the open | car. She wore a light suit. One of the drivers asked me who that was with light suit on, and I said, ''It is the Cramer girl, 1 who lives on Grand street." For the past four or five years have lived two doors from the Cramer residence. Had never spo- ken to her, but knew her wellb sight. Think the driver that asked me who the girl was was man by the name of Keefer. There is no doubt in my mind about the afternoon I saw the Cramer girl. The car was just on the curve when saw her. I cannot say who sat next to Miss Cramer. I mentioned the fact of seeing her the next day to George | Hitler, who is bartender for Austin filling.
 Joseph W. Brunt was called. He said: T am clerk at Edward Malley's store. Board at 159 George street. I was in the store Fri day, August 9th. I received an invitation from James Malley, jr., to go riding on that day. He did not say who would be in the party. I am Walter Malley's first cousin. I told James I could not go riding as I had | an engagement that I could not break. Cannot say whether James went riding or
 not. Isaw him (James) the next morning
 behind the counter. James Malley, ST., had
 charge of the store when Edward Malley was gone on his vacation. Walter had charge of l the real estate and finances The day James
 asked me to go to ride he said he was going
 to Buell's have said that was glad that I did not go to ride with James that night, and that if I had gone I
 might have got into their scrape
 myself. I have not said that James Rock. He did not speak of going to Buells
 and then over to the west shore. The store
 closed on that night, think, at at o'clock
 or half past 6. I did not say when went to
 supper that James urged me to go to the
 west shore. I am positive that it was Fri
 day that James urged me to go to ride. I
 have not the least doubt about it. I don't
 know where Michael w. Malley is at present
 Have heard that he was in Saratoga think
 his wife told me this. I was not at the shore last Saturday. I first heard that the body | was found last Saturday morning about ten
 don't know that I ever saw her. think that IT heard in the store that the Nal
 ley's had some dealings with her;
 this was soon after I heard
 that the body was found. When James in- | vited me to go to ride he said nothing about
 the Cramer girl or anybody else going with | us. understood that we were to go alone.
 I cannot say whether Michael w. Malley was
 in the store last Saturday or not. I was | down stairs in the store when I first heard
 of the body being found. I can't say who it
 was that I first spoke to about the Malleys
 being mixed up in the Cramsr case. heard
 some one say that James Malley, jr., had
 been going with the Cramer girl. I think
 first mentioned to my landlady, Mrs.
 Downes, that I was glad that did not go to | ride with James on Friday evening. I think it was supper time when spoke to Mrs. Downes first about the affair; this was in the kitchen, I think, in the presence of the servant girl. I did not know how long pre- vious James had been going with the Cramer | girl I have never been to ride with James, but have been out with Walter several times There has been no raise in my salary recent ly; if there had been think would have | known it should like to hear of it.
 To Dr. Painter-I did not hear James say 1 that he was very tired on that night and that he thought he would go home.
 Benjamin F. Brady was called. He said On Saturday morning, August 6, I saw the l body of dead girl on the shore. The last l time I saw her was on Friday night in front of my tent where have ball game. There was another lady with her. She asked what l the game was and explained it to her and l the other lady. The girl that did the speak ing was the one saw drowned on the shore She came back later and asked some other questions I think they stayed in front of my tent from five to eight minutes; it was from fifteen to twenty minutes of eight when I saw them. I identified the girl from the way she was dressed. observed that she wore light dress and also wore black mitts; she had two or three rings on her fingers there were also quite large glass beads on the front of her dress, which was cut quite low. When the girls left me watched them !; they went to the swing and stayed perhaps ten minutes; they then went to the flying horses. VTTR, r ID I-l-
