The Malley Case.

l The Arguments Madeline Case in the Hands of the Justice-DecisfOn to be Made This Morning.
 The arguments in the Malley case were ! made yesterday at the court room, West Ha- | ven. They were begun at about Il a. m. and finished at about p. m. There were but few listeners. By arrangement each of | the counsel was limited to an hour and a half. MT. Bollman was the first speaker. He spoke of the long duration of the hearing It had covered seven weeks and 163 witnesses l had been examined. Of these 57 were called by the State. The question on hand was whether there was probable cause. This fact he would impress upon the court. He read the law in the case The State had proved the finding of the body and where the body was. Only few hours before the body was found-from seven to nine hours before she was seen and in good spirits by at least ten credible witnesses and only few rods away from where she was found dead the next morning; proving that the girl died at the time and place alleged in our complaint That point is controverted by the defense, so must necessarily enlarge upon it.
 MT. Maltbie for one is certain that he sa " Jennie Cramer within three feet of him Fri day night, at o'clock, August 5th. Then come Brady and Dorsey. They saw her that night but did not know her. They recog- nized the body next morning Then we come to MT. Marvin and Mr. Muenster, who are positive they saw her on the flying horses that night. Next come MT. and Mrs Hunter Miss Kendrick and Mrs. Inwood They are positive they saw the girl that Friday night There is little danger that ladies like these three would mistake the Kane girl for Jennie Cramer. They beyond doubt saw her on the flying horses that night perhaps the Kane girl was also there. Remember that Mrs. Hunter and Miss Kendrick saw the Cramer girls ring and it's pendant gold dollar We have had another witness who was an &C., quaintance of hers and puts it beyond doubt that Jennie Cranner was there that night This is MT. Gilchrist, who spoke to her and IS positive it was her. The State claim he could not be mistaken, and the defense could not shake him one iota in thelong and search ing cross examination, showing he was tell ing the truth. The State therefore claim that 1t is proven that the girl died at that place and time beyond reasonable doubt
 The next question is how did she die It is not probable she died natural death. or that she took dose of arsenic by accident and then again fell into the water. Nor does it appear probable that Jennie E. Cramer committed suicide. But it is probable that she was murdered, and by the same hands that diabolically robbed her of her honor. MT. Curtiss, who first discovered her in the
 
 was not drowned, and his conviction was shared at once by Mir. Marsden, Dr. Shepard and Dr~ Painter, who saw the body on the beach. These gentlemen have so testified. and that there were no indications of drown ing. They found her face downwards. which is unusual in drownings cases. Fur thermore, her form was not enlarged, show ing that no gases had generated and no water entered her person. She could not have been long in the water. No sand was under her finger nails Her eyes and mouth were both closed. There was no froth com ing from her mouth.' Lastly her hands and arms were not extended from her body as in cases of drowning, but were folded across her stomach, silently but powerfully pointing to her last seat of agony and the true cause of death. The autopsy and these signs proved pretty certainly that Jennie E. Ora mer was not drowned. But in addition the medical examination showed wounds on the face and that from one to three days before she had lost her virginity. It also appeared that she had been brutaIly outraged. Again, fatal dose of arsenic was found in the body. This the chemical analysis showed People do not take arsenic for suicidal pur poses nowadays as much as formerly. 1t is used, however, for murder. The body was thrown into the water to cover up the crime and suggest suicide as the cause of death, or else with the idea that it would drift out to sea and never be found. When the girl Ras
