 MalIey's DOmestics Testffies-Interest-
 ing Proceedings.
 The Malley trial was resumed at West Ha- ven yesterday morning, Justice Booth presi- ding The prisoners were brought down shortly before ten o'clock, and pending the opening of court spent some time in little ante-room, their place of retirement before court, talking with the sheriff. Counsel opened. Dr. Henry w. Painter was re- called and testified to his presence as mem Der of the coroner's jury when Walter and James Malley testified, and that Walter said that he became acquainted with Blanche Douglass on the boat, where he was intro duced to her.
 In reply to defense, who wished to know the object of this line of interrogation, Mir. Bush said it was to show that Walter had prevaricated. In so far it went against the State, and the State had right to show who the accused said Blanche Douglass was. The defense argued in reply that this was not ma terial to the case. How Walter Malley be- came acquainted with Blanche Douglass was not important. Then again it must be shown that the testimony before the jury was not given under restraint.
 MT. Bush argued in reply that it was mate rial
 Finally the justice ruled that there was sui fcient evidence already on the point raised by the State.
 Witness continuing said that James Malley, jr., testified that he went out riding with Jen- nie Cramer and John Duff and Mrs. Brown.
 The defense objected, claiming that the State must prove this by it's best evidence Mrs. Brown and other witnesses would be the ones competent for that purpose.
 MT. Bush asked what testimony was better than that of James Malley himself on the point.
 After further discussion the justice ruled in the doctors testimony
 The defense then suggested that the wit ness should be asked if he could remember now after refreshing his memory.
 This question was put by the State an6 the doctor said he could Then the defens. insisted on the production of the notes fol examination by them. The court ordered him to produce them.
 The doctor was excused to get these notes and as he was going out of the court room the defense said:
 "And the newspaper articles you were asked to find"
 The doctor threw bundle at counsel
 'And the letter you wrote to Blanche"
 Dr. Painter said nothing, but continued hi. journey for the notes. The defense asked MT. Bush about the letter. He replied:
 'I know nothing about the letter I tel you. I haven't seen it.'
 t'Such remarkable letter ought not to bt lost, " was the retort, and Judge Blydenburgl asked him to fetch a letter left for Blanch, Douglass when he called at the Hoffman House for an interview with her.
 ''Other and more remarkable letters have been found" said Mir. Bush The court suspended operations pending the return of the doctor, who went to hi residence, about half mile away. Among others noticed in the room at tn. time was Zimmerman, the husband O. Blanche Douglass.
 Dr. Painter, on returning, testified: Thes, are the original notes, not copies; Jamel Malley, jr., testified before the coroner's in quest that the first time he went out riding with Jennie Cramer, John Duff, jr., and Mrs Brown were with them; this was two ol three weeks before the tragedy; they went if recollect rightly, to Buell's, and there met Walter Malley and Blanche Douglass l think James told of going riding with Jennie | twice afterwards; Mrs Brown and Mr. Duff | were not along except the first time James testified that on Wednesday night August 3, Jennie Cramer stayed at Edward Malley's house with himself, Walter anG l Blanche Douglass from about 8:3O in tn, evening until 8:3O Thursday morning: rathe he testified that they left the Elliott Hous, l at 8:3O Wednesday eAening and got to Mir | Malley's at about 10 or 1O:3O; James men | toned that the servants were in tn, house, but not in the room | only the four being together; no one else wa | in the house but the servants Walter Malley, before the jury of inquest | told essentially the same story as James, ex cept that Walter was at the Malley hous when James and the two girls came there o1 I that Wednesday evening; Walter said tn, four stopped that night at Edward Malley' house, the two girls leaving about o'clocl ! the next morning; he said that there wer, l refreshments prepared by the servants whicl l he himself carried in to the party. James testified before the coroner's iury that on Friday night, August 5, at quarter before z, he stood in front of the Elliot House, on the sidewalk, and saw Walter and Blanche Douglass drive away he said tha he (James) then went directly home to hi own house; that he was very tired; that h. took a bath and went to bed; he said that hs did not go out of his room that evening he only got up once to quiet neighborine dog from barking.
 Do you remember, Doctor, whether thil testimony was given under oath ?'' Mr. BusI asked.
 "It was," was the reply. ''Do you remember whether both were cautioned that they need say nothing that would tend to criminate themselves ?'' wa: the final question.
 Both Of them were, sir.''
 Dr. Painters direct closed here On his cross examination he stated in reply to Judge B. that his testimony was from his best rec ollection, but that his notes disclosed nothine about Branford Point ride. Next an article written by him, published in the Register, was read aloud by witness al request of Judge Blydenburgh It was an account of the finding of the body of Jennie Cramer, the appearance it presented, the feelings of the villagers, the removal of the body, prophetic view of her departure from home ''the low chuckle of the soulless scoun drels who sought to compass her ruin" :" the ''dead Venus upon the sands" etc.
 Judge Blydenburgh criticised the article, the reading of which had excited much interest, and after an inquiry about the "fullnOss oi the blood vessels' and some legal contro versy, the witness said the blood vessels were unusually full.
 Witness denied having written any poetry connected with the case nor any articles for the Tribune.
 On the redirect he testified that James tes tifed that after hearing of Jennie's death he and Walter drove down to the house, but did not stop. He gave reason, but cannot re call it in this way-they went down to see il the store was shut up.
 think that both he and Walter testified that it was shut up.
 On the cross examination: Couldn't state that they testified that they went to see if there was crape on the door.
 Deputy Sheriff James H. Peck was the next witness Was member of the coroner's jury. He testified about Walter Malley's go- ing to New York the Thursday before Jennie Cramer's death think he said he went on knowledge which came from the mother about her going away from home and that his errand was to persuade her to come home, and that he was intercepted at Stamford by 8 message from James telling him that Blanche was all right and then returned. He said he had thought of going to New York to see Jennie's brother recollect that James and Walter said they met Blanche on the Green Saturday, after they had been down Grand street; to the best of my belief they said they walked up Temple street don't know how far or where to; Walter said he went down early in the evening and met Jen- nie and Blanche at the Elliott House-that later he told James to go there and see Jen- nle and invite her to come to the house with him. James said he went down and invitad
