story told of man who advertised lecture and said he would let the cat out of the | bag" and after talking against time until the | man who took tho cash could get out of the | way he opened the bag and let out the cat | This he supposed would be the case when the l State came to argue the case. Referring to Blanche Douglass and her early life he | said she was to be pitied and declared that she stood higher and nobler to-day than those who had tried to wiring from her & false statement in regard to the death of Jen nle Cramer. They arrest her for per jury, keep her in West Haven for days and weeks in the hope that they may get her to confess, and after she told them all she knew they picture to her prison bars and walk up the steps to the gallows if she does not make false statement. tell you, gentlemen, she is queen beside these men who tried to make her swear falsely.
 In the early morn of Saturday there was found on the shore in West Haven the body of young girl. It is not an uncommon thing for young girl to tire of life and die by her own hand, as believe she did Mr. Blydenburgh then went back and reviewed the evidence about the first ride to the shore on July 9th when Mrs. Brown and Mrs Eager were invited and the latter could not go, and Jennie Cramer was selected. Did this show an intent to ruin the girl?
 
 | her ruin at the Malley house on Thursday night, this girl whose life has here tofore been streWn with roses, and she leaves 1 the house of her seducers in the morning waving pleasant adieu, goes to Redclifes | and eats hearty breakfast with the girl who | has led her to ruin, and then goes home i where she is upbraided by her mother for l staying away from home all night, and she | leaves her home. He then took up the evi- dence in regard to the visit to the shore and 1 the evidence that she was seen on tbe flying 1 horses on Friday night. The idea said the speaker, that on Friday night she was riding 1 on the flying horses with drunken Irishman | having jolly time and in this way prepar- | ing for death is preposterous. No living l person saw that girl after Thursday afternoon 1 and those who testify to the contrary are
 mistaken. 1 do not, gentlemen, desire to | talk to you much longer about this case, be-
 cause I think it useless to waste time upon it. l believe. gentlemen, that you look upon this | case as we do, and it is time it was finished.
 I do not have much confidence, gentlemen,
 in this expert testimony. Suppose this girl had administered to her death dose of ar l senic, is it to be presumed that she was seen l on the Friday night at late hour previous
 TO the finding of her dead body? I will not | say anything against Jennie Cramer, as I be- 1 lieve should speak well of the dead, but l that she gay and giddy girl think no one will deny, Jennie Cramer goes from her home to the shore smarting under the words ! of her mother, alone by herself, and all that | day that she was down there, though with others, wandered by herself and was seen for the last time when the shadows of night were creeping over the earth. We can imagine
 how in the darkness of night she walked out
 on that pier, looked upon the ripping waters, thinks of the home she has left, perhaps l takes the fatal dose of arsenic and throws herself into the water. It is sad picture to
 think of, but this is my view, gentlemen, of l the way she came to her death. Otherwise, | you must believe that these young men are guilty of this murder, which you or I cannot conceive. believe that they and this girl | will go forth vindicated of the crime of which | they are charged. I will not take your time | longer, gentlemen.
 Judge Blydenburgh closed his argument at 1925, and a recess was ordered until 2 o'clock
