THE MAN WITH THE BLACK MoUsTACHE FOUND.
A special correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
writes from New Haven. August %, as follows:
Three weeks ago this morning the body of Jen-
ME Cramer was discovered coming i'm with the
tide at Savin Rock Beach. Since then jurymen.
cOunsels, detectives and citizens have been en-
gagged in tracing the circumstances of her DEATH
but these are still involved i'm mystery Blanche
Douglass last public statement was that James
Malley carried the girl i'm his arms to his ROOM
Her secret confession will throw much light on
JennleS condition at that time, and it is UNDER
stood that this will show that she was drugged
The girl was invited to the Malley House for
supper. The testimony of the others is that
only light wine was drank. II is fully believed
now. that, If SO, the wine was drugged.
THERE Is STILL CONFLICT OF TESTIMONY
concerning who of the four were at Redcffe's
restaurant on Thursday evening at about 10
O'Clock. The testimony of those i'm charge is
that Walter Malley. Jennie and Blanche were
there. The testimony of Blanche. Walter and
James is that they three were there. This is not
at all credited here. The story of Rawlings and
John Henry. the waiter. is believed The testi-
mony yesterday, as Mr.. Bollman said last night
showed plainly that the four passed Thursday
night i'm the Malley lodging-rooms over the res
taurant, in rooms 26 and 80 as testified to by
the chambermaid Bertha Williamson Audley
has had according to its counsel have testified
to seeing Jennie and James Malley together i'm
Temple street Friday afternoon, about O'clock
Jennie went to Savin Rock that evening" and
James Malley was there with her. according to
testimony for the state. and the two have been
traced there as late as $50. Testimony yet to
be produced carries the history on.
ONE OF THE JURY SAID
last night: "1here is an unbroken history now
up to this time 1880 I. m. friday, and James
Malley, jr.. was with her. Jennie was at Savin
Rock i'm his charge and under his protection: he
is the last person seen with her: he had been
with her constantly for weeks. Size had been
on two nights of the week with him. Under
the circumstances James Malley, jr., is the man
accountable for Jennies death. After the testi-
mony that has been given he must be called on
to give an account of her. When did he leave
her. if he knows nothing of her death? Why
did he leave her. after being with her so much
and being her escort Friday night? He cannot
escape these questions. He has got to come
right to the front and answer When T. F.
DOolIttle gets hold of him and Blanche in the
superior court he will put them questions that
will place them where they ought to be-" Mr.
DoOlittle. the county attorney for the state, has
the reputation of being unsparing and unes-
capable at cross-questiOning. He is terror for
criminals.

Hunter was much mistaken about his appear
ance. He and a friend were with the girls at
