upon the family of James Malley, sr. called
at their house on Friday evening of the first
week in August between and o'clock, tax
ing my two children. They are aged re-
spectively II and 10. Miss Lulu Malley
opened the front door and admitted US when
we arrived. We went into the hall, then into
| the dining room and across into the
| back parlor. I think Miss Lulu went
out and called Miss Lizzie. No one
was in the dining room when . I
passed through. Miss Lizzie came into the
dresses to show me. My children went out
| in the orchard and brought in some fruit. I
remember that Miss Katie and Miss Lulu
| played on the piano ard sang My daughter
also played and the young ladies sang. Miss
| Healy and her sister came into the room. I
| had been there about half an hour before
| they came in. had never met them before
! that night. [ have known James Malley, il. :,
| for years. I did not see James ley that
| evening, but I am sure that he was at the
| house, for he said to me, Good evening,
Mrs. Malloy,'' and then he asked me if
| had seen him driving up the
avenue the evening before. I said
Eyes" and told him that thought he was
driving pretty fast I was in the back parlor
| and he in the dining room when this CONVEX
sation took place. That was all he said to
me, but I heard him say something to his
sister about his shoes being off He did not
! come in to light the gas. Although did not
| hear any further conversation I heard him
| singing. I recognized his voice for I had
| often heard him sing before. I did not leave
| the house that night until about $50 o'clock.
| 1t was some time, say half an hour before
| that time that I heard James singing. I
| think I stayed half to three quarters of an
| hour after Miss Healy and her sister went
away. don't just remember what it was
| that James was singing. No one was In
| the dining room that I noticed when
passed through there when going home.
Saw no evidences of James having been
| in the room, because I didn't take any
| notice. While at the Malley house that night
saw there Miss Lizzie, Miss 4tie and Miss
Lulu Malley, Miss bealy and her sister,
| Minnie Quinn and my two little girls I
| think / first saw Minnie Quinn when she
came into the parlor. I don't remember
| anything she did Or when she left the room
don't know as Minnie Quinn went into the
orchard with my children. l don't think that
| she (Minnie) staid in the room very long; af-
forwards l heard James say that he couldn' It
| come in and light the gas because his shoes
were Off I did not hear anything more from
| him only when heard him singing. One
reason that remember that these circum-
stances occurred on Friday was because it
was the evening before I heard of Jennie
Cramer's death. Another reason is because
Miss Zulu MalIey called on me Thursday
evening At that time was employed in the
| millinery department in Malley's store.a In
| addition to the two dresses shown me that
Friday evening remember that Miss Lizzie
showed me q watch which she said was
| present to her.
Mr.. Doolittle then began the cross examin-
alton.
The witness said: James Malley, senior,
spoke to me on Saturday about Miss Cra-
mer's body being found.
What connection has James being at
home the night before and his fathers con-
versation about Jennie Cramer''s body being
found?
I didn't know exactly who the young lady
was, and SO made some inquiries.
Mr. Case objected to the bringing out of
the conversation and was sustained by the
court.
Mr.. Mix the ice man of Hamden, foreman
of the jury, expressed desire that witness
speak louder. He had been sitting in an at
titude of suspense and inability to hear. The
witness, after several efforts raised her voice
little, and the lawyers had "a talk'' during
the process.
Said the Witness resunling: When I got
home that night found Julia Gallagher, who
takes care of the children. In August last 1
had charge of the millinery department in
MalIey's store. It was about twenty minutes
of 10 when I got home that night. My chill
dren were waiting for me when got home. I
had promised them that would take them
up to the Malley store.
What caused you first to speak of all these
matters?
Miss Lizzie Malley called for me about
o'clock Sunday afternoon Aug. y and said
she wanted to have me come up to the house.
I did not know what she wanted me for then.
went to the house and met the young ladies
in the parlor. If said that the time of the
meeting was the second Sunday after Jennie

about something being in the paper.
What did he say?
He said he wanted to put in an item to
show that James was in the house on Friday
evening, and that was there with Miss Hea-
ly. James had not then been arrested.
Did you not testify at West Haven that this
conversation was the day before James was
arrested.
I might have done.
Witness was excused.
