han commitment, all should be treated like.
 The justice said he felt compelled to order he prisoner confined.
 Sheriff Peck then took the young men to 1 he county jail in his carriage.
 At the jail the young men were received by he urbane Deputy Sheriff MT. Stevens, and he prisoners names were taken, their ages, Dtc.
 In the book it was recorded that Walter E. Malley was twenty-four years of age, of Con- necticut birth, cruld read and write. was nm. married, was never in jail before and was q clerk The prisoner smiled when asked hiB and said, tI suppose, dry goods merchant" The two were rather abruptly reminded where they were when the man having them in charge said sharply, "Hats of, please" Both uncovered at once.
 The other prisoner gave his name as James Malley, jr., his age as twenty three, birth place Connecticut, could read and write, un- married. neuer before in jail and occupation a clerk.
 The jail officers searched the young men. Walter submitted with an amused smile but James seemed overcome. The two were then both taken up Walter had with him two of Bulwer's novels, one of which he gave to James. Both were found reading their books later on. Walter on being spoken to with regard to his situation said that he was not apprehensive, as he had nothing to fear as to the facts. Neither he nor James knew anything about how the girl came to her death, and they courted tho most searching investigation and were sure that it would be all right. As to James, Walter said that he was just as ignor ant as to how the deceased died as he him. self
 JaiIer Stevens said f'You know public opinion is strongly against you, and nothing but a complete investigation will satisfy the people,"
 : s'I know that" Walter answered, "and am satisfied" adding with 8 smile, 'but after it is over some one will have to pay for this"
 He was told in answer to inquiry that he must eat regular prison fare unless he wanted to pay for extras but that he must be con tent to stay in the cell. James seemed una ble to rally his spirits and looked careworn and dejected- He has been at his fathers most of the time for week past, hardly leaving the house, and has been quite dis pirited.
 Lawyer Fox, speaking of the case, said the State was liable to be placed in very ridiculous light if the jury brought in 8 yer dict of death by drowning.
 Evening i'm Jail.
 At the jail in the evening at eight o'clock the young men were in bed in their respec- tive cells, tired out with the fatigue and ex- citement of the day. They had been perus- ing their copies of Bulwer, beguiling away the time as best they could with this literary proceeding During the day they admitted but few callers, and these were comprised of some of the nearest male relatives and the counsel of the accused. Walter seemed not as dispirited as James. They ordered dinner and supper from the private table of the house and disposed of a fair share of the good fare provided. They were indis posed to converse much. They were unable to converse with each other, being in separate cells, and they must remain close prisoners not allowed a walk outside the cells, until next Monday, unless their presence is required at the in quest hearing in West Haven to-day, in which case Deputy Sheriff Stevens will take them down. They are in the lower tier of cells and near the door.
 IMPORTANT.
 A reliable gentleman, thoroughly posted in the proceedings thus far, says of the position of the body (face downward) when found that it precluded to his mind any idea except that of foul play. This view he felt was strengthened from the proximity of the spot where it was found to the shore, and the well sustained theory that the remains got into the water about where found and could not have drifted from Kelsey's wharf. THE EXAMINATION To-DAY-A CHEMICAL AN-
 ALYs1s.
 In conversation with various gentlemen we find that it is extremely unlikely that Dr. Prudden will make any report 5aa erte1aso, if at all to the jury to-day. The idea is that it is best to wait until the whole facts are ready to give out. Again Dr. Prudden is speciality in microscopy, and to obtain 8 chemical analysis in the case part of the re- mains taken by the physicians would be sub- jected to an expert in that department, and Prof. Chittenden of the Yale Scientific School has been summoned from Ridgefeld to make that examination and has telegraphed that he would come. He resides in Hum phrey street, this city. He assisted in the chemical analysis of the remains of Abbey J. Riddle of Norwich, and assisted Prof. John- Mary Stannard for arsenic.
 THE CH1oRoFoRM THEORY.
 In the minds of some who have examined into the case and been in a position to learn the facts the use of an anasthetic is thought quite probable. As to the laudanum claim in the warrant of arrest for the young Malley's it is said that the investigation of the phy- sicians has not revealed the presence of that drug. As already stated some who assisted in getting the body away from the shore to the morgue in West Haven, say that there was an odor of chloroform or ether about the face of the dead girl.
 TESTIMONY To-DAx.
 Whether the Malley's will be called again Mr. Metcalf, the justice, could not say, as he had not been notified, although Coroner Bollman called at his house yesterday, Mir. M. being away in the city and not seeing him thereafter. Mrs. Cramer is expected to testi- fy to-day and will tell about the intimacy of the deceased with the Malleys and her last in terview with her had at the house. A partial report in writing from Dr. Prudden is some- what expected.
 BLANCHE DOUGLASS AS A PRISONER IN HER
 QUARTERS.
 Blanche Douglass is securely quartered at the residence of Deputy Sheriff Peck in West Haven near the shore, which is on the street which strikes the shore at the Press Hinman corner, and the first house on the street after leaving Beach street. It was once occupied by Alfred Hills of the Homestead. The sheriff has Blanche in the front chamber over the parlor. MT. Peck says she was much depressed when she was first brought to the house last Saturday evening, and was so on Sunday, but yesterday seemed to be recovering her spirits. She ate at the family table and her demeanor was that of a pretty, lady like young wo- man. She was guarded. however, most The sheriff felt a constant unceas- ing care with her in the house, though he did not expect her to try to get away. Still she had guard over her all the time. He had to be away yesterday, and during his ab- sence he had an officer in charge of her, watching all the while. She declined to see any callers, and reporters she had special objection to, feeling too tired to talk, and moreover was under orders from her couns ell not to'talk
