 ruled out, and this was only an attempt on | the part of the State to "throw mud"
 Mr. Bush replied with considerable energy l and insisted that the evidence as to the char 1 acter of Blanche Douglass was only one of | the steps, and he thought an important one, that the State should show, as tending to l prove the final act in the case. He claimed | that it was important to show that they | brought this woman here knowing her char | acter and introduced her to Jennie Cramer | for the sole purpose of accomplishing her | ruin and after accomplishing her ruin as showing the cause of her death. l
 Justice Booth said the witness might say | whether the house he visited to get Blanche | Douglass clothes was reported to him as 8 house of i'll fame.
 Witness replied that it was so reported to
 him; he judged it was such house from it's
 surroundings; I was introduced to Lizzie
 Bundy, the proprietor of the house. That will do, said Justice Booth, and the witness was excused. John H. Manning was next called and sworn. He said: live at AZ Hill street, New Haven; have been in Edward Malley"s em- ploy six or eight years; in the notion depart
 ment; know Walter Malley and know his handwriting; have seen him write; have also
 seen his writing as I passed by him when | writing have handled letters written by
 him.
 MT. BoIlman here produced some letters | written by Walter B. Malley to Mrs. Cram CT, 1 and also letters written by the same to Jen- l nie Cramer and Blanche Douglass or Blanche l Clements. He said some of the letters were signed by Blanche Douglass and addressed to Jennie E. Cramer, and they desired to show ! that they were written by Walter E. Malley ! in disguised hand.
 Counsel for the defense said they would | admit that the letters were written by Walter Malley.
 This did not satisfy the counsel for the State, and they proceeded to identify the let
 ters as the handwriting of Walter Malley. Again counsel for the defense interfered and wrangle of fifteen minutes between l counsel followed
 MT. Bush said what the State wanted was | an admission without any qualifications. Attorney Bollman proceeded to prove by | the witness that the letters to Jennie Cramer and signed Blanche Douglass were written by Walter Malley. The letters were the same as | those previously introduced before the coro- nsr, and providing for meetings between Blanche Douglass, Jennie Cramer and Walter l Malley
 MT. Bush said-We now have some letters
 written by Walter Malley to Blanche Doug lass in New York, and we simply wish to in- | troduce them to show that Walter Malley knew the character of Blanche Douglass as l late as last April, when he addressed letters l to her at Lizzie Bundy's house in New York. The attorneys finally admitted that Walter was acquainted with Blanche Douglass as | late as last April, and that he did write the l ten letters in court to her. The reading of | the letters was then dispensed with. There was no cross eXamlnation of this | witness.
 William E. Hunter was the next witness. He said he was at West Haven shore on the evening of August 9th my wife and another \ lady were with me; saw the dead body of a | girl on the beach on the morning of August l 6th I recognized her from having seen her | on the night before riding on the flying l horses there were two ladies and three gen | tlemen in the party; cannot tell who the other parties were; have seen girl they call | Maggie Kane, but she was not one of the | parties. The last question and answer were stricken out.
 On the cross examination by Mir. Fox wit | ness said he arrived at the shore on the even | ing of August 9th about six o'clock; spent | most of his time in the grove and at Howes' pavilion; the lady in white was the one I saw on the flying horses the lady was on the | outside horse and the gentleman on the in- | side; behind them, in the box, was a lady ! and two gentlemen; all were engaged in con- ! versation; the man who rode on the horse | was slim built, man, dark features, had 8 l dark mustache and appeared intoxicated; I l saw a man on the beach the next morning | that I thought might have been the man saw riding the night before; did not see him
 
 | room that I could point out as the party
 saw on the horses that evening: I cannot describe the lady or gentlemen whom I saw l in the back seat on the flying horses the
 man on the horse said he would like to find | the girl that rode around with him, as she nearly paralyzed him when the man got off I he went towards Hale's restaurant; did not see which way the lady went; it may have been from half past nine to ten o'clock when l I left the grove and went to Howes' restau- I rant; I never saw the lady before, and I rec ognized her on the beach the next morning l from her general appearance.
 Re-direct-I looked at my watch on the pier when went from Howes' and found it 1 was a quarter to II o'clock.
 Mrs William B. Hunter was next called. She said: I saw the body of the dead girl on the beach and recollected that I saw
 her the night before in the grove, riding on the flying horses. Her testimony did not l differ materially from that of her husband, ! the previous witness, except that she said l the lady in white took the arm of one of the gentlemen who were riding in the box and walked away with him; she also said that she noticed particularly the style of the lady's 1 dress while she was in the grove, her jewelry, form, etc.; could not recognize either of the gentlemen riding in the box, but would know 1 the Irishman riding beside the lady in white, If should see him again.
 Miss Jennie Kendrick of Catskill N Y, was next called. She said was with Mir. and Mrs. Hunter on the night in question. Her testimony was corroborative of Mir. and Mrs. Hunter, the two previous witnesses In addition she said that she thought she saw the same girl on the morning of Friday at Sav1n Rock. She said she would not be able to recognize any of the parties riding on the flying horses if she should see them again. Nellie Sullivan was next called and testified as follows 1 reside at MT. Edward Malley's am employed as chambermaid and waitress an fhaIr CIT, Toe r
 the Saturday morning Jennie Cramer's body
 was found; l also remember the previous Wednesday evening; Annie Clerkin, the cook, was there, also two delivery boys;
 heard MT. Walter Malley in the house that evening; heard him playing the piano and also heard two young ladies singing; did not see them although passed through ths hall think Walter Malley came home about s o'clock on Wednesday evening; cannot tell
 how long after it was that the company came as I did not see them I was in the kitchen
 most of the time, and near MT. Walter Nal
 ley's music room where the singing was; went to bed about 10 o'clock; I took in some ice cream for them and put it on the dining room table; the parties were not in the dining room at the time; this was just before 10 o'clock; the dining room adioins the mu- sic room; cannot tell whether tried to look
 into the room where they were or not: I
 might have done so but cannot tell: I did not
 hear anything of the parties after went to D0O; O1O uOG A6dE Iu0uQ when Cl6V left the |
 house; make the beds in the house; I found
 that two beds had been occupied the next | morning, one being MT. Walter Malley's | room and the other the front chamber; did | not change the sheets until Satur- day morning and then only | one in Walter Malley's room; did | not change the sheet In the front chamber | until the next week; could not tell from the | looks of the beds whether more than one per | son had occupied them I think Walter | took breakfast at the house on Friday morn | ing Walter and James both took breakfast | there on Thursday morning; don't remem Der how many times James Malley took | breakfast at MT. Edward Malley's that week; I think only Walter took breakfast at the house on Saturday morning.
 Then MT. Bonman inquired of the witness if she had not stated that she had heard stories in the house about the condition of the sheets on the bed where James slept
 Another objection followed by counsel for the defense and Justice Booth ruled that the witness need not state anything she had heard, but only what she knew.
 Mr. Bollman then inquired as to the con- dition of the sheets as witness found them
 Same as always" was the reply
