 seeing Jennie Cramer and James Maey on the shore
 on that Friday night are, to the least, mistaken
 They say that acts of violence were committed on
 that girl on that Friday night. If go, who did it

 In closing he asked his honor to decide the GAS ] from the facts and the law.
 t At 4:5O MT. Bush commenced the closing argu1ner a for the State He stated in opening that as tn ground had been nearly covered by his colleagu l. cannot be contro7erted, and that is that Jenni L ! CraIner is dead and the body was found It wa 6 was 1y1ne with her face downwards, her hand f l pressed upon her breast. which controverts th j. opinion that she not dead when she fell in tn
 water; been placed in the water in sensibl
 condition her hands would have been extended as U ! always the in of drowning. The docto1 tell us that there every evidence of the receI loss of that girls vrginity, and that she had bee = ravished within very short time Mir Bush the referred to the examination of the body at th tt undertaker's; the analysis of the organs r r was no doubt the cause of deatl U combined pc: haps with sufocation Nowif she pu, chased arsenic to commit suicide she could have ol tained the arsenic at any drug sore by giving ht
 that she purchased arsenic at any drug store in Ne r Haven. If took arsenic how did she get in thi water all agree that there would have been mors less water in her lungs. That girl did not jump
 of that wharf into the water but she was dead befo n she placed there. He then referred to the whi object in the water on Friday and said that u
 sOy vaa that m then 00Gs Eeerad - the evidence of numerous witnesses vi s. testified to seeing Jennie cramer in New | Hay, H
 shore on Friday evening, which he declared was i
 taken identity the part of all these witnesses. II 10 \ speaker then proceeded to review the testimony l. conclusive that the girl did commit suicide, b Id that she murdered. He said there could be
 reasonable doubt that the last time she ali U was on Friday night at the shore and in compa1 rs with James Malley. The course of these young said Mr. Bush, has been tissue Of falsehoods fro n, beginning to end There can be doubt but if Je
 ' nie Cramer with Blanche Dou y | lass on Thursday and Friday that W, tt 1 ter and James MaI1ey must have knov le it. In closing his argument Mr. Bush claim that there could not be any reasonable doubt abo
 | the guilt of the accused if as has been shown, tn
 were with Jennie Cramer at Savin Rock on Frid
 \ night. He believed they had established this ca
 | beyond a reasonable doubt and he asked that o& honor find that there was probable cause accordi is to the and the evidence. No sentiment, pi a. | should have anything to do with it.
