 "Oh, Blanche, for Gods sake, and if you care to be saved, abandon your present ad- wiser and consent to follow the counsel of your friend"
 This she handed to the doctor, and he at once started, at mad pace, for West Haven. It was growing late; it was nearly morning before he reached home. He knew he must act quickly. In addition to the note he brought with him. or arranged to have come Tuesday, James Reilly, Blanche's man. This was to strengthen the appeal, and events show that it did strengthen it.
 The doctor repaired to Blanche, showed her the note, pleaded with her and the result is known.
 PROSECUTING ATTORNEY PICKETT.
 Prosecuting Attorney Pickett said he was not present at the night session of the jury, as the main facts had been imparted to him previously. He had 8 long talk with Blanche Douglass, however, on Tuesday. She had sent for him. He told her to take heed what she said to him as he was an officer of the law. She did not mind, but wanted to speak. There was no compulsion and am not pre- vented from using what she said Yes, I think although she had crossed her track before that now she was telling the truth, or at any rate very probable story, and she had the air of truth and sincerity in giving it. Did what she told you throw any light on the murder of Jennie Cramer2 A. No, it did not
 And do you think that she told you all that she knew about it? A. I don't know what she may have told the jury or. anyone else; but from what she told me, if it is true, she knew nothing of the murder
 Do you think she knew about the killing of Jennie Cramer? A. den't see what mo- tive she or the Malleys had to want Jennie Cramer dead. I think that you will find yourself mistaken if you continue to believe that Jennie Cramer had never had bad asso ciates before she saw the MaIleys. I can't see why Walter or James Malley should want the Cramer girl dead. It would not gratify their lust to have her dead, would it don't believe that it was necessary to use drugs, and therefore can't see any motive for that Perhaps am monomaniac on one subject. Unquestionably the girl drank great deal And you think that liquor might have caused deathp A. There have been no drugs found yet.

the statements in detail made by his father, day night, making minute and careful state ment as to the time he arrived home, his talk ing of his shoes, the presence of his sisters, of Mrs. Maloy and daughter and the errand girl, and his calling the dressmaker down to supper and eating supper after she had been served. He stated that he then took bath, and as he was feeling tired went to bed early; that his sister passed through his room and saw him in bed that the errand girl saw him, and that he got up in the night and shouted to dog which was barking and an moving sick neighbor. The sick neighbor lived around the corner. It was an insurance agents family. He said that he called to his sister in the night asking for amosquito net ting, as the mosquitoes were annoying him. It was not the flies, MT. Reporter, he said as the statement was. My father made mis- take in calling it flies. I was home all night After leaving the store in the evening went to the Elliott House to tell Blanche that Wal ter would take her down to Branford Point. then walked up Chapel to about Temple, where took car home. guess the con- QucGOE Ou GldG car HOu1U AuOW IuO, ana say so also.
 As to that story, he continued, of young Audley's seeing me with a girl near the cor ner of Trumbun street and Whitney avenue, as he said, he was greatly mistaken, for all the clerks in the store can testify that was at the store all that Friday afternoon, for I was at the store all that afternoon. had charge of the gents' furnishing goods coun- ter generally, and was there that afternoon.
 As to the story of my being seen at the West Haven shore with a young lady that Friday night, I can show that was at home and in bed, and the man is mistaken and probably saw Michael Malley, who testified to his being at the shore that night and call ing for glass of beer, and he has got him mixed up with me.

Both Dillon and Dodge are in the Gould

BULLETIN, was taken TO the hospital Tues
day night by DR.. w. Wood and died soon
after he arrived there. His name was F.
Montgomery. He was about thirty years OF
age, his homie was not ascertained and his
destination seems to have been Cairo; for,
as IS evident from 'deck ticket" found in
his pocket, he arrived here Tuesday even
ing on the steamer James w. Gaf on her
trip number ninety. The ticket does not
state at what point between here and Mem
phis he came aboard, but it shows that he
had "paid one deck passage to Cairo" and
is signed Chopper clerk Here is g case
such as The BULLETIN referred to a day or
two ago and it is only one of hundred
similar ones that are brought to the
notice of our authorities every
year This man was evidently taken aboard
of the Gaff at some point between here and
Memphis. He was sick at the time; was in
formed Of the existence Of the Marine hos
pital here and, under the erroneous impress
sion that it was open to all alike, came here
voluntarily, perhaps. Arrived here, he can
not be admitted to the hospital because, I'M
der the laws he is not entitled to admission;
he can not be cared for by the city, because
there is no city poor fund, and he can not be
cared for by the county, because the county
poor fund has been exhausted and, in fact,
overdrawn long ago. Under these circum-
stances what could he do, but to lay down
and wait for assistance from private sources,
But even private charity, SO munifcent in
this city, can do such men as Montgomery
was no good; for they tramp around the
country until they are sick unto death, then
come to Cairo when they are beyond all
human power to save, and die. Thus is Cal
no imposed upon every week, sometimes
two or three times a week, and thus does
Cairo get he reputation of being uncharit-
able and unhealthy. Thus it is, also, that
the Alexander county poor fund, which is
more than large enough to meet the de-
mands of reasonable share of the sick
paupers, Is so soon exhausted and over
drawn; and thus il is, also, that poor
fund established by the city, il kept
sufficiently large to meet all demands,
would bankrupt it within year. Cairo
and Alexander county can and do make
ample provision to care for their own sick
and INDECENT, but they can not afford
to provide for the sick trsmps
of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Indiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, who come here from all directions, by
rail, river on foot, in sklfs and wagons,
The sooner the authorities of the river and
other towns and cities and the sick bohe-
mians, are informed of the fact that Cairo
and Alexander county are not an asylum
where the worlds poor are fed, clothed and
cured, the Better it will be both for this
community and the worlds poor afore-
said.
