The Expenses of the Ma1ley Trial.

Closing Scenes i'm the Recent Great Trial
 -Blanche Returns to New York.
 There has been good deal of talk about l the enormous" expense of tho Malley trial, l but from the most reliable facts to be ob tained the expense to the State will scarcely exceed $1O, 900, against the $50, 900 expended in the memorable Hayden case. The jury cost nearly $3 ,OOO. The pay of the twelve who served foots up about $1, 100, and their mileage one-quarter as much. They received $2. 50 per day and six cents per mile each way once 8 week. The larger part of the jury cost comes from the great number of jurors who were summoned and not accepted. Each received days pay and mileage for coming into court and showing that he was eligible. The bill of the high sheriff will be about $1, 900 for deputies and incidentals. The witnesses draw nearly $2, 800, and of this fully $1,OO0 goes to the three or four experts who appeared for the State. The expense under the head of expert testimony l is unusually light compared with that of previous great trials in this State MT. Bush 1 associate of the State attorney, receives about 1 $500 The lawyers designated by the court ! to defend Blanche Douglass receive from the State $325 each, or $65O. The figures that l have been given aggregate $7, $50, and other ] small expensss-summoning witnesses, etc. l will bring the State's total up to $1O,OOO. It is estimated that the expenses of the I trial to Edward Malley, father of Walter, will
 not exceed 5000. The rumor that Dr. O'Malley paid Lawyer Cassidy $1O,OO0 to defend his brother James is about $7 ,OOO out 1 of the way. Footing it all up the trial has | cost both sides about $50, GOO to convince | twelve men that they were TO better able to 1 solve the Jennie Craner mystery on the 3Oth
 of June than they were ten weeks before.
 The impression has been strong that the
 State is not through with the Malleys anc on some minor charge, probably that of per jury, in the lower court. That impression is
 as erroneous as it is widespread No further
 prosecution of any character is contemplated
 Such course would be looked upon as per
 secution by the general public.
 | Mrs. Cramer, mother of the unfortunat
 girl. exl resses surprise at the result of tn l trial and asserts that it had all through bee1 her belief thar the prosecution would fai ! through lack of evidence. She insisted tha
 Blanche Douglass knew the secret Of Jsu
 nie's last hours, and derided the idea o
 suicide. "Why, knowing my daughter
 did, know if she intended to take her Tiff
 she would do it at home among her friend ! and not go off down there to Savin Rock. Mrs. Cramer was very angry with Lawye , Jones for his criticism on her, that she un wisely allowed Jennie to run at large and r
 dress as to attract the attention of youn
 men. 'sMr. Jones was very wrong when h , | said allowed her to go that way. If I wa , ! 8 man I wouldn't let MT. Jones get out 0 1 town before horsewhipped him.''
 Blanche Douglass remained at the jail O Friday night, and on Saturday went ! Deputy Sheriff Peck's house in West Have
 and obtained some things she had left ther | since last fall. She then returne ! to the jail, and at eight o'clock o
 Saturday took carriage and went to th a ! New York boat and yesterday morning WE 2 ! in the city which she left nearly year az ! to cone to New Haven, and which afterwar } ! proved very unfortunate visit to the mi n l guided girl. It is said that she will find
 home outside of New York city, and conf
 dence is expressed by many that under proI
 CT influences she will lead better and mol Q useful life than heretofore.
