 EDWARD VALLEY.
 MISS DoUGLAss' DoNas.
 The New York World eff yesterday says. as follows regarding Miss Blanche Douglass af- ter her arrival in New York:
 ''The woman Miss Annie Blanche Douglass. who was examined at the ceroners inquest over the body of Jennie Cramer arrived in this city last evening New Haven and went to the Hoffman House, where she registered as Miss Clemens, of New Haven. She said to reporter that she had been advised by hel mer, and she was satisfied her innocence could be proved She added that she left New Haven becarnss 1t was unpleasant there for her, but that she had departed secretly. She afterward left the Hoffman House without saying where she was going"
 AN IMPRESSION NOT BORNE oUT
 Among the reports afioat yesterday was one that Richard Lewis, young man of 6 Edwards street, son of Henry Lewis, the moulder, had seen Jennie, another girl and the MaIIeys at Sayin Rock about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. He told his father of the fact soon after the body was discovered. There is no doubt he told the story He was driving with his brother, and says he knew Jennie because he hadsseen her at Sun day school He thoughsthe persons with her were the MaIleys. They were drinking wine at Savin Rock. Richards older brother William, who was with him, knew Jennie well, and says it was not her. Richard then gave it up.
 Yesterday afternoon Prosecuting Juror Hull of West Haven, and 0. K. Bush, the st. torney who acts for him, were in earnest con- sultation with Chief of Police Webster get ting points concerning the case.

mean evidently fearing that the reporter
might imagine he had lost sight of the
Deity and inspiration feature of the de-
fence.) Scoville loses sight of the main
feature. He started out with the propo-
sition that an insane man must be half an
idiot"
Guiteau announced his intention of
cross examining the government experts
'sThey have not yet" he said, touched
upon the mysterious influence or impulse
which often impels men to do things even
in ordinary and minute transactions of life,
when there may be present no sufficient
reason either in mind or in senses from
surroundings for particular exercise OF
will upon the body; as when a man sud
denly feels the impulse to turn around,
and, in so doing, finds some one of whom,
| perhaps he has just been thinking, OF
when man obeys what is termed present
iment"
Guiteau appeared to keenly feel that he
has been defrauded by those persons who
had sold to the press interviews with HIM,
without even offering a division.
Scoville's attention was called to the al
| legged statement of Mills that he found on
taking the cast of Guiteau's head that one
side was more fully developed than the
| other. eff his statement is reported cor
rectly," said Scoville, 'it will sustain the
theory that have maintained throughout
and DR.. Hamilton will have to retract some
OF his testimony, for he testified that the
| head was symmetrical Mills statements
support the statement of the expert for de
fense, and I think every expert will admit
| that where the head is unevenly developed
| the smaller side forms the basis for an un
balanced brain, and can become the
| groundwork for case Of insanity. Il
Mills Gubstantiates the statement, l shal
summon him as witness.
Scoville thinks two weeks will be re
ouired to finish the trial.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Gen. Kennan,
of this city, who some years ago travelled
1000 miles or more up the river Lena at
which some of the survivors of the jean

where the Jeanette was lost is $50 miles
north of the Island of New Siberia, 800
miles from the nearest part of the Siberian
mainland, and a little more than 500 miles
from the mouth of the Lena, 1t is proba-
bic that Lieut.. DeLong, after abandoning
the ship, made for the nearest point of the
Siberian coast, passing to the eastward and
southwark Of New Siberian Island, strik-
inc the mainland between the mouth of lr

stations at the mouth of the \ 4arna, lrdln
