table near the Chapel street entrance. The 1 table was in the center row. The quartette was jolly. Miss Sperry was led to take more especial notice of one of the young ladies because she was very beautiful. She had very dark hair and dark eyes, Miss Sperry says, and her face was lovely. stShe had beautiful skin, and could not help but no- tice how white it was. had good view of her face. It appeared from their actions that they had just come in from ride and were going to have supper" Miss Sperry continued
 T am pretty sure that one of the ladies objected to something that was ordered, and think it was something about wine. couldn't say which one of the ladies it was who made the objection. I think also she objected to having something to eat which the gentleman wanted to order. I think I
 heard him say, You'd better have something to eat, and she made the reply, No, do not
 care for anything"
 Miss Sperry does not know Jennie, al- though she had lived in New Haven for many years, at one time within a few blocks of where the dead girl resided. She could not | recognize either of the gentlemen, nor could she describe the color of the dress either of the ladies wore. Miss Sperry and her com panion sat about ten feet away from the party of four.
 "Did any of the gentlemen sport black ! moustache?" asked the reporter.
 s'I did not notice" :" was the reply. l The lady said she would be willing to
 throw any light possible on the case, and will lingly talked with the reporter.
 A SKETCH OF EDWARD VALLEY. The New York Times, in an article on the | Cramer case, says of Edward Malley, father l of Walter Edward Malley, the father of Walter Malley, is apparently about forty-two | or forty-three years of age. He has quick, ! race-horse manner and two exceedingly sharp | eyes for business. He wears sandy mus | tache, and is evidently 8 man who visits | the tonsorial artist with great regularity. He | is slender and of good figure He wears l clothing of the most fashionable cut and ! high white hat with a black band. He talks rapidly and understandingly, and bears | the impress of a man born to command I others. lie has 8 merry laugh and | jolly twinkle of the eye. Anyone might tell | at glance that he lives well and is fond of | rational sports. There is none of the skin ! flint expression in his countenance, as his rivals in business would have people believe
 is his distinguishing characteristic. When he greeted the Times reporter, who called upon | him Saturday, his manner was frank and pleasant. He wore a flower in his button ! hole and had just come from Redclife's restau | rant across the way from his store. He sad | that he had quit reading the newspapers be- ! cause he was tired of staring at the Cramer | case. He indignantly denied employing detec- I tives or trying to purchase evidence, and at | tributed the prejudice against him to would-be | business rivals. He said Walter was stung to \ the quick by the charge against him, and had \ said that he would spend his private fortune | left him by his mother and be willing to work a fife time for pittance to remove the blot | from his name and vindicate himself from the charge. He asserted his supreme faith in the innocence of the young men. and said as to Walters whereabouts Friday | night: ''He at Branford Point, about eight miles east from here. Remember that I was not at home that night, but my coach man told me that he took Walter and young \ lady to the Point that evening" and returned with them between 10 and II o'clock on that ! evening. l asked the coachman about this ] especially, as upon this much relies, and he ! said that he put the horses and coach in the stable between those hours I have always had much confidence in my son, and during my absence from the store he has had charge of it, signing my name to checks, and at- | tending to business right up to the handle. James is first-rate young man, too. He was l employed by me as clerk, and his father is l also here"
 BLANCHE AT HER SEASIDE HOME. l Blanche is quite docile at the house of Dep uty Sheriff Peck, and seldom appears at the
 windows, though since it became known that she was there hundreds of teams have passed
 to and from the shore by that road, which
 is next south of the horse railroad and parallel
 with it. The house is the first from the shore
 after leaving Hinman's. Blanche was very
 much surprised when she read in the papers that Sadie Monroe, her New York friend and chum, had been to see
 her. How do the papers find out
 SO much?n said Blanche. ''Why,'' said
 Mrs. Sheriff Peck, Sadie Monroe has
 never been here; never been in this house.
 It beats all how nicely those reporters can
 write up things that never happened. 1" Blanche adheres to her claim that she has
 unbosomed herself completely and can reveal
 no more. She doesn't busy herself much
 with books; says she never did take to books.
 She devours the daily newspaper accounts
 of the Cramer case and at present is not
 making any new dresses. According to all
 reports she is tame and submissive as a lamb
 and wouldn't escape, oh no, not if the doors
 were left open. However, the doors are
 kept securely bolted. AS to that note from
 Walter and the report that Blanche after re-
 ceiving it passed it over to Mrs. Peck, the
 latter said it was not so. Blanche never
 passed the note to her and she knew nothing
 whatever as to what it contained.
 l RUMoRs
 | were rife at the shore that a new sensation
 had broken loose, as Deputy Sheriff John R.
 Leete, of Fair Haven East, had been engaged
 in close conversation with Deputy Sheriff Peck at the barn of the latter, while each
 had horse and buggy ready, both horses
 blooded and full of spirit. Was Blanche to be taken out to ride to new place of con-
 fnement, or was there some important new | rTJl.. however, after it became known that the ! deputies were engaged in matter foreign | to the Cramer case.
 ! THE EXCITEMENT AT THE SHORE YESTERDAY. There seemed to be no diminution yester- day in the excitement which has prevailed at the shore since the body of the dead girl was found on the beach. There was large
 number of carriages from the city that
 took men, women and children to the beach, who were evidently drawn thither by the recent tragedy or suicide, as the case may be. large number of teams were also there from the country and the parties who occupied them gazed with mouths wide open at the pole and white rag which marked the spot where Asa Curtiss found the body.
 ''There comes Asa now," said gentle man standing beside the reporter.
 Asa was enquired of if there was any news about the Cramer case?
 I don't know of thing.
 When do the jury come together again, Asa?
 Now you ask me too much. I wish they would hurry up, however, as I am tired of this business. Excuse me please, said the hon. est fisherman, as am in hurry andI don't want to talk to reporters anyway.
 Good bye, Asa.
 Good bye, 'I'n see you later.'
 An interview with Deputy Sheriff Peck revealed the fact that Blanche Douglass was resting quietly at his house and nothing had 1 transpired to change the present status of the l case. In reply to question as to the next l meeting of the coroner's jury the deputy replied that he was not in l formed and could not say when thou xv0u1d Tnoaf Foronoan MaHoo1R
