 nesses Aiong-~Thirteen Witnesses Dis
 posed of-An Early Adjournment--Tes-
 ttmony of Varied and Interesting
 Character.
 The court scene presented some new phases yesterday. The prosecution had closed, the defense had opened, and by the middle of the afternoon eleven witnesses had been ex- amined and disposed of. The prisoners wore
 very cheerful aspect, as if the worst was
 over and the crisis in the case had passed,
 Lawyers for the defense were asked as to the
 statement made that they were willing the
 caae should be dropped where it was They
 affirmed in their opinion they could safely
 rest the case, but in justice to their clients
 there were matters which ought to be intro
 duced. The defense had over a dozen wit
 nesses summoned and they were examined
 and disposed of by little after four o'clock,
 when, there being no more on hand, the court
 adjourned till this morning. Lawyer Fox was
 of the opinion that the case would not last
 over three weeks or so longer Lawyer Cas- sidy was asked his opinion as to the number
 of witnesses the State would examine out ot the 1O6 who were before the justice court The genial Pennsylvanian deemed that 1t was not in his power to correctly state the num-
 Der, and, although he was in Connections, he
 didn't want to hazard guess upon 1t. State's Attorney Doolittle kept up run
 ming fire of short, spicy interruptions during the rather monotonous 'lingo" of testimony, which kept the counsel for the defense from l mapping and the jury from dozing. An in- creased attendance of women is noticed. All
 the seats for the general public are occupied
 constantly. If seat is vacated which is sell
 dom the case, another person occupies it
 ''instanter." The young Malleys had with
 them yesterday several relatives, strangers in this city. The interest to see the prisoners is not diminished. Every afternoon st 5 there is @ crowd outside the court building in waiting, and not 1nfrequently ladies of dis tlngulshed social status have their carriages stopped near the curb at that hour to see what is to be seen. Particular interest at taches to catch 8 glimpse of Blanche Doug l lass The prisoners frequently taken to the Court street side to their carriages and then if the crowd finds it out away they go at trot, women and all sometimes whisking around the corner to get the desired view. Morning Session.
 The court opened promptly at 10 o'clock 1 yesterday morning.
 The State called Dr. Painter, who, in an-
 swer to questions by State Attorney Doolittle, said heard James Malley, jr., testify be fore the jury of inquest at West Haven; he said that his father, on Saturday, August 6, sometime during the day, said to him in the Malley store 'Where were you Friday night ? no, it's a good thing you were home last | (Friday) night ;'' he corrected himself after saying ''Where were you Friday night ?' Mir. Jones began to cross examine but finally concluded it was not worth while, and | the witness was dismissed.
 | MT. Doolittle here said that additional wit. nesses had been summoned, but they had not l arrived.
 Judge Granger inquired if they would be l likely to arrive soon.
 MT. Doolittle replied that undoubtedly they would
 "We will wait reasonable time,' then | said the Judge.
 Justice George w. Metcalf of West Haven, l after time came in and was called the States l ffty-third and last witness. He testified: I reside at West Haven and held the inquest | upon the body of Jennie Cramer; James ] Malley, jr., testified at the hearing; remem l Der that he testified that his father said to him "Where were you?" meaning Friday ! night and then added quickly, ''Its we'll for you that you were home;" suppose that | this conversation from what the young man ! said took place when his father first heard of l the death of Jennie Cramer I don't remem- Der just what he said before he (James) made ! this statements I To MT. Jones-I give the language as un derstood him to say it; I would not swear ! that they were his exact words I would not
 swear that James did not say that his father
 said .'It's good tAtag for you that you 1 were at homen
 l After calling for Dr. Shepard, who failed I to put in an appearance, Mir. Doolittle said . I "We will not wait we will rest.'' Mr. Jones asked for few minutes for con- ference and Judge Granger ordered short | recess. The seven lawy CTS for the defence l got up and left the room, going into the State ! attorneys office to hold 8 private consulta- | tion At the expiration of fifteen minutes 1 they returned. While they were absent Ed l ward Mailey and another gentleman came in ] and took seats beside the Mailey cousins and 1 engaged them in conversation. Blanche passed the time reading 8 newspaper from \ which she never lifted her eyes. Upon the l return of the seven, MT. Blydenburgh arose and said: May it please the court the de. fence have concluded to make no opening ! statement, but to leave their story to the tes l timony of the witnesses" MT. Fox then called | Richard w. Waite, a lieutenant of Company D (National Blues) of this city. He testified T reside at IA Nash street, New HaveL, l and am wood and timber dealer; on Thurs day morning, August 4, as I was passing out ! on Chapel street and Derby avenue between and o'clock I saw coming from the resi- dence of Edward Malley two ladies who passed down the front steps along the west side of the foliage bed across the lawn to the sidewalk and through Derby avenue to Chapel street, also standing in the front door of Mir Malley's house two gentlemen I knew who one of them was then and I know the other one now; I knew Walter Malley at the time as one of them; the other was the young man (James) who is now sitting along side of Walter (indicating James,; while coming through Derby avenue I saw Miss Jennie Cramer, who was one of the young 1 l4dies, turn around and wave her hand to the
 gentlemen in the doorway; the young ladies seemed to be good natured they smiled, they were bidding the gentlemen adieu they
 smiled, bowed and waved their hands Miss
 Cramer was attired in white; I don't know
 where they went I was on my way out
 Derby avenue; the gentlemen who stood in
 the door were Walter and James Malley; the
 lady with Miss Cramer wore an old gold or
 brocaded satin or silk waist I knew Jennie

 Miss Cramer she sits there back of Mir.

 and Chapel streets on my way out I also

 Mir. Doolittle proceeded to ask Lieutenant
 Waite long list of questions to test his rec
 ollection of where he was and whom he saw on
 other mornings besides that Thursday, after
 which the witness continued-Jennie Cramer
 had mitts OF her hands which came nearly to
 the elbow they were lightish shade the
 color of these window shades Gndicating the
