TRIAL OF THE MALLEY BOYS.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 25.--
Never in the history of criminal pro-
cendure in the State has public in
terest been so deeply affected as in the
Malley murder trial, which began
here this forenoon. When the doors
Of the Superior Court we're thrown
open at S.45 a. NJ. to-day, large
crowd, which had been waiting out
side surged into the building, and
every seat in the hall assigned to spec
tators was quickly filed. A few min
utes later James and Walter Malley,
the alleged besrayers and murdsrers
Of the beautiful but unfortunate Jen-
ME Cramer, entered the court room
in the custody Of Constable Oolwsll,
who had brought them down from
the jail. Ten minutes later Blanche
Douglass followed Sheriff Byxbee into
the court room aud took her accus.
toned seat. For the fisst time since
the trial opened, the Mallsys sat fac
Ing Blanche Douglass and within ten
feet Of the girl. None Of the three
exchanged the slightest glance Of rec-
cgnition. State Attorney Doolitsle,
closely followed BY Attorney @. K.
Bash and w. q. Law, next entered
the court room, and while the clock
was striking 10, Judge Granger
took bis seat and ordered court opened,
Before oai;;Dg the frat witness State
Attorney Doelittle addressed the jury
saying be propopsd to make brief
outline Of what the State expected to
prove. Hs said ION the Goth Of
August Iass the dead body Of Jennie
Cramer was found on the shore at
Eavin Rock, near the Hill homestead.
Itwas partly submerged In the water
and no one was iH sight. We expect
to show that her death ives not pro-
duced by drowning. There we're
none Of the evidences TO show death
BY this cause. There was none Of
that foam about the meath tibet was
to have bean expected. She was lys
ing upon her back and her hands
were crossed. No wates came from
her body. We shall claim that her
death was caused by srsenic found 10
her body that had been recently ad-
ministered aud not self-administered.
Life was extinct when that body
touched the water.
"James Malley, Walter Malley, and
Blanche Douglass" continued Mr..
Doolittle, chad formed a conspiracy
to ruin this girl. Walter Malley had
q mistress in Blanche Douglass, then
an inmate of a New-York house of
ill-fame. Walter brought her here,
and she stopped at some OF the hotels
Of the city. james Malley came to
know her, and Jennie Cramer's COZ
fdence, was gained. Walter intro
duced Blanche to the dead girl as his
cousins lady of responsibility, who
had come here on a visit. They per-
suaded her on Wednesday evening
proceeding her death to 60 to the
house Of Edward Malley, beautiful
place on the outskirts ofthe city; Mr..
Malley was absent at the time. That
night Jennie was ruined. The next
msrning at IL in the forenoon she
went with Blanche Douglass to her
mothers house. Her mother upbraid-
ed her and she said che had passed
the night at hotel with Blanche.
They staid there short time, and her
mother never saw her alive again.
The prisoners have claimed they new
on saw her after Thursday noon, when
they saw Der in a horse oar apparents
| u going to Hsvin Rock. They found
she had separated from her vile as
sooistss Aud were apprsheusivs she
| yould disclose what hsa been aone "
