 The State claims that it was impossible un- der the facts in the case that she died by drowning. The bars would have prevented her drifting to the spot where found. Some body killed her. Probably she was first poisoned and then suffocated to stide her cries. There were indications of snffoca- ton. The wounds on the face and mouth { sustain the view that hand was pressed over her face to stide her cries.
 Now who committed the deed? True we have not proved who bought or administered the poison but if it is once admitted that she was murdered, can there be much doubt who perpetrated the deed No stranger did it. for the poison shows preparation and again q stranger must have had motive or an op- portunity. If such person can be found, there must we look for the murderer. Do you doubt but that the defense with their host of detectives have looked all over the ground to find some one to whom suspicion might be attached? How faithfully they ap- peared when MT. Blydenburgh cross -examin- ed Mrs Cramer as to all her visitors. With the great number of parties working for them the defense have not been able to attach a ! particle of suspicion against living soul ex- ' cept the two accused nor has the State been able to do so.
 We find that both James and Walter Nal | ley were acquainted with her; that short \ time before her death they were out carriage riding with her, in company worse than questionable; that they introduced New York prostitute to her as 8 rich relative of the | Malley family. By means of this rich rela- \ tive they induce her to take late rides; they ! invite her to go to Coney Island over night. \ I doubt very much if the poor girl knew ! their intentions. From the letters should l judge she thought James was going to do by her the same as she understood Walter was to do by Blanche-marry her. We find James calling on her and she calling on him at the store. She goes to the store with 8 | friend-indicating that everything she did was all right. She told her mother, when ! she returned at four o'clock in the morning ] that she had been detained by him. These facts show that her intentions were honor l able, but that James intended to ruin her. Two days before her death she receives 8 let ter signed stBlanche" inviting her to go to
 Walters house. James escorts her. Both the evening and the night were spent there.
 There was music and wine and fruit. Does l your honor want any testimony as to what
 was done there? A short time before there | was an attempt to keep her all night at the
 Foote house. It will be claimed probably
 that one girl was sick at the Malley house and the other remained to keep her company.
 But will your honor believe that 7?
 Perhaps the reason Jennie did not stay at
 the Foote house was because wine was
 missing. They learned lesson and added \ wine to the dazzling splendor of the Malley
 
 sic. She fell. This was the time when
 brutal force was used. That is the keynote
 to the whole case. But for that night Jennie
 Cramer would be alive today The next
 morning we find her leaving the Malley
 house, going to Redcliffe's for breakfast and
 then to the Cramer house. She expected g
 scolding there. It was natural that she should
 be scolded. It is not difficult to understand
 her feelings. She was home with Walters
 supposed affianced- Blanche Douglass--and
 determined to compel James to marry her.
 He had deprived her of her honor. I believe
 that Jennie told her of her determination , that she tried to induce Blanche to go witt l her to settle it; that Blanche tried to per
 suade her to remain home that she started l away alone to find James and walked slowly
 down Grand to Jefferson, and through lief ferson, so that Blanche could overtake her She didsnot. We are indebted to the defense
 for three witnesses who saw Jennie that morn
 ing The time varies, but time is not so re
