Jennie Cramer's Fate.

Jennie Cramer's Fate. Reported Finding Of Arsenic--Ind1sposi- ton of Walter MaIley-Nevv Reports g and R1mOrs Jury Meeting To- Day-The Preliminary Meetfng-What MT. Higgins Said.
 To-day it is expected the jury in the Ora mer case will meet and hear the concluding evidence in the case, including that of Mr. Chittenden, the expert, as to the chemical analysis. It is reported unoficially from source entitled to credit that arsenic has been quantity small, but sufficient to cause death. The drug stores in the city have been visited through direction of the State, the indication being that the object was to meet probable theory by the defense that the deceased was an eater of arsenic for it's effect upon the complexion, and that enough would remain in the system from such 8 source to account for the quantity reported found in tke stomach.
 THE DRUG STORES
 A reporter visited Convere's drug store last evening Mir. Converse was not in having been quite sick for six weeks past. He is now able to get out. The head clerk said that no arsenic had been sold the deceased since June 20, which appears by the official record as to the sale Of poisons required by law since that time, and that none had ever been sold to her from the store in the knowl- edge of anyone connected with the store. Possibly a former clerk in the store might have sold her some long time ago, but that was improbable. Mr. Bollman had been there and examined the official record, and heard the statements of those in the store.
 SICKNESS OF WALTER VALLEY.
 There is considerable doubt as to whether Walter Malley will be able to appear at the preliminary hearing on Monday morning, as yesterday he was taken decidedly i'll with ehills and fever and malarial symptoms, and last evening was attended by Dr. Robert S. Ives. He had been growing dispirited for several days, his confinement telling upon him.
 AT THE JAIL.
 The prisoners are visited daily by some of their immediate relatives, who frequently come bringing packages of fruit or other &C., ceptable articles to the prisoners. In one of the adjoining cells is dark haired and whis- kered man who is locked up on charge of horse stealing.
 ANOTHER CLUE.
 A statement was made last evening from reliable parties living in Westville, who are reported positive that they saw James Malley, jr., and Jennie Cramer riding together in a buggy on Whalley avenue on the Friday even- ing preceding the finding of the body. The parties it is said knew both of the parties.
 B1ANoHE's HURRY FOR THAT DRESS.
 Another report is that Blanche Douglass was in terrible hurry to get that dress from her dressmaker's on the Saturday morning when the body was found, and some hours before the time she said in her evidence that she knew of the finding of the body. The report further was that Blanche being told the dress was not ready said she positively must have it that the dressmaker then told her that the buttons were not on yet; that Blanche responded that she couldn't wait for the buttons she must have it, and told the dressmaker to pin it up in the back and let it slide, which the dressmaker then proceed ed to do; that Blanche exhibited great ner- vousness and seemed in an unaecountable state of anxiety.
 WHAT A PITTsBURG PAPER SAID ABOUT HIG-
 GINS.
 Pittsburg paper, the Despatch, ill a late issue says under the caption, ''Did Jennie Cramer Suicide? A Man Now in Pittsburg Who Knew Her and Thinks she was not Murdered": '"The reports of the tragic death and supposed murder of Jennie Cramer at New Haven, which have been so fully print ed in all the papers of the country, have given the public pretty full view of the mysteri- ous features of the case. mysterious man with a moustache,' who was wanted for many days as witness, has turned up with in very resent perion. It was at first SUD- posed that the mysterious man was George W. Higgins, a travelling representative of 8 New York house, but who resides in New Ha- ven, but the person who has turned up Is somebody else altogether.
 ''Higgins, who is an old acquaintance of both of the Malley boys, accused of the mur- der, and of the dead girl, is in Pittsburg on business. A DIspGtch reporter had an inter view with him. He says he knew the dead girl long before the Malleys knew her. The last time he saw her was in May at her house. He called upon her at that time and she said she was seriously thinking of leav- ing home and going to New York, as 1t was far from pleasant at home. Her father had forbidden her receiving company and, ac- cording to her statement, treated her badly. This is a very different side of the case from that which has appeared in the eastern re- ports.
 'tMr. Higgins says that on the occasion re- ferred to, as they passed into the parlor her father muttered something. EOh don't mind him. she said, he is silly In the parlor she removed the marble slab from a table and showed him 8 sum of money which she said she had saved to take her to New York.
 =He states that he introduced her to the Malley boys and that he believes them guilt less of her death. They are not such fast characters as has been reported. James against whom the charge of murder is lodged, in particular, is an innocent boyish person. The Malleys are not brothers-only cousins. Walters father is very wealthy. James is heir to large European estate now involved in litigation Jennie Cramer was disposed at times to despondency, and in such fit Hig- gins believes she made away with herself"
