Jennie Cramer's Fate.


 Jennie Cramer's Fate. Work by the Defense-James lIalIey jr's. Time in the Store on Two | Days-Other Proceedings. The hearing in the Malley case was re- | sumed in West Haven at 10:30 yesterday l William Charles Mountain, clerk at Malley's living at so9 York street. was the James Malley, jr., as in the store nearly all the time except meal time, on Thursday, August 4. He stated many particular times when he saw him. Between 4 and Mrs. Cranaer came in and talked with James, she was dressed in dark clothes; at that time did not know who she was; haven't seen her since; was told she was supposed to be Mrs. Cramer; saw her talking to him good while heard her mention the word ''daugh- ter," and happened to look over; she was standing near James MaIley's counter the words were not angry; James said: "I haven't seen her ;'' she said she wanted her to come back or something to that effect James replied: 'I haven't seen her, but if do see her I'll tell her that you want her ;" had to wait on my customers and didn't hear anything more; was standing about eighteen feet from James.
 Witness accounted for James as at the store nearly all the time that day, also speci- flying various times when he saw him busy about the store.
 saw James the next Saturday morning, at his department, about o'clock; saw | him that forenoon up till II o'clock, as near | as can remember; he was then behind his counter and I recollect that I then heard Patsy Carroll telling James about the Crame1 l girls body being found that was the last saw of James that morning that I can re member saw him in the afternoon back oi l his counter between 2:3O and 2:35, and he | remained there most of the afternoon re member two or three reporters called tha afternoon and saw them talking to James my best judgment is that the last time saw him was about 4 o'clock.
 Cross-examined by Mir. Bush at length Witness was positive that he recollected righ about those two days. He said he did no miss the accused at all, and thought he woulc have missed him if he had gone out. Witness identified Thursday by Mrs Cramer's call or | accused
 Witness was asked if he hadn't expressed doubts to Detective Reilly if he knew hoy much of the time James was in the store ant how much out that day. Witness admitted that he might have said so, also that h might have said so to the coroner. Yes. l d. recollect that MT. Reilly and Mir. Bollmal called on me at the store.
 On the next day. Friday, August 5, Ixwa at my department, as usual, arriving at tn store at the regular time, a quarter to 8; first saw James Malley, jr., at his depart ment somewhere about o'clock; say James trimming in front of his departmen for about an hour before he was ordered t. go to some other part of the store and d. some trimming it was while dusting tn goods of my department that I first saN James that Friday either Walter or Mir | Fithgibbons ordered James to another par of the store to do some trimming, an James went either to the lace or mi linery department; when James went tc wards the lace counter at this tim it must have been near Il o'clock; saw him later, when he came aroun to his department for a few minutes it mus have been about twenty minutes to 12; b then went down towards the side door, guess, as we all have to do to give in ou tune before going to dinner; did not SC him again that forenoon after twenty mir utes to l2
 next saw James behind his counter thf Friday afternoon when I came back frol dinner, about 2:3O or 2:35, my usual time.
 s'And your recollection was then cleart about the events you have testified to tha now?"
 'fWell, a person can sometimes sharpen U his memory about some things"
 'sIs your recollection clearer now abol the events of that week when Jennie Crane died than it was week after her death ?"
 ''Yes, because since then have talked tt matter over with people, and thought it owe 1 l and that tended to make my recollectio | clearer, I think.''
 Witness was cross. examined at length test his memory, and remembered that got tickets printed on Friday, which was o1 !, | thing that fixed the day as Friday in h mind. Upon reflection he changed his stat | ment, making it that when he went up stai that day he saw James Malley, jr., gettir tickets.
 With reference to the time on Fridf morning that James spent in trimming, u | witness admitted that there might have bee half an hours difference, 'tbut," he sai 'tin store like Mir. Malley's, with so muo 1 going on and so many people coming and g ing it is impossible to fix the time to half hour or SOL
 'sYes,'' Mir. Bush assented, land that holt good with respect to all the rest of your te timony, don't it ?''
 q suppose so, except with reference the time of closing the store or anything il that"
 Mrs. Cramers Vlslt helps me Tor Thur day; closing time also enables me to f time; she was not there as late as 5 :; didn't see her leave for I was busy with customer when I turned around she VI 1 gone saw James afterwards in front of counter with his hat of ; we begin to take goods about 6, and he was preparing to tai them in then would have been apt to mi him more at that time than any other didn't miss him don't remember that Jam | was away that Thursday afternoon befo Mrs. Cramer called; don't remember whe ' the lady from Wallingford called Friday | very often ladies of his acquaintance whom don't know call and speak to him.
