 to.Drowned Persons--The Evidences of
 the Lungs-Dr. Erudden's Evidence
 The Testimony ns to the Absence of
 Signs of Death by Drowning.
 The Malley trial yesterdayinvolved the dis position of considerable evidence having an important bearing on questions connected with the mystery attending the death of Jennie Cramer. The court room was crowded with eager listeners and many prominent citizens and prominent men from other parts of the State were visitors at the court room. The attention of all corners was, if possible, more than ever centered upon tho two Malleys and Blanche Douglass, and scores of people sought to gain admittance when room could not be found without inconveniencing the court room. About 30 women were specta- tors yesterday afternoon, and regarded Blanche Douglass, the Malleys and the court proceedings with unwearying interest.
 Mir Case bore hand yesterday afternoon, cross examining Juror Marsden at length. The latter stood fire unmoved like an expe- rienced veteran used to battle. A Il admira- ble plea against the admissionsof Mr. Mars den's opinions on the drowning question was made by Mir. Case, followed by terse, vigor- ous response from Mir. Doolittle, the court ruling to admit the witness opinions and judgment in the matter. Mir. Cassidy asked a question and interspersed an objection or two toward the close of the days proceed ings. He is very intently studying the case Edward Malley sat with the Mallsys portion of the morning session and James Malley father of James, kept the prisoners company in the afternoon. The array of professional experts i'll the court room yesterday recalls the Hayden trial in that respect Judge Granger gives decided rulings, evidently ia voring no man. His decisions meet with ap- proval as impartial sensible and wise. Dr. Prudden's evidence yesterday afternoon was model evidence, clear. terse, direct and dispassionate. He will beunder the fire of cross examination to day and the defense will naturally attempt to shake his evidence which was confrmatory of the theory that deceased was not drowned, which was also Juror Marsden's theory.
 Morning Session.
 The court opened at 10 o'clock. Before commencing the examination Mir Jones addressing the court said : If your hon or please l observe number of ladies pres ent many of whom l presume have been summoned as witnesses. I shall have to ask t1on and if any of them wish to retire before proceed they now have an opportunity of doing so. Some half dozen ladies retired and the remainder, numbering twelve or if teen, remained notwithstanding. Sheriff Byxbee went among them and explained what evidence would be. Among those who re- mained were -apparently-young un- married women.
 Judge Granger remarked that fair notice had been given and if females were inclined to remain there could be no objection. The first witness called was Dr. Painter, who was on the stand when court adjourned yesterday. His cross examination was continued by MT. Jones.
 MT. Jones-Were you ever in that morgue before Jennie Cramer's body was taken there? Witness-Yes, sir, and I have been there since.
 Mir. Jones then continued to question wit ness as to the manner of entering the morgue, and the distances between certain points. The purpose of the examination was evident ly to show that there was not sufficient light in the morgue to make 8 critical examination
 Dr. Painter said that after the body was taken to the morgue he suggested that the body be taken where there was more light.
 To MT. Jones-I will make more accurate measurements of the morgue and surround ings than I have yet made.
 Mir. Jones-I want you now, doctor, to state accurately and in detail regarding the examination of that body at the morgue.

 Continuing witness said the body was plac- ed on bench and he thought directly under the window; don't recollect whether the body was placed on a temporary bench or on a permanent bench alongside the wall I don't remember how many times we turned the body over while it was in the morgue; think we took out two pins from the under clothing No, l won't say that I did not state before the coroner's jury that the pins were rusty; I will not swear that there were not rusty spots on the pins.
 MT. JOneS-NOW tell us just what you dld in making that examination
 Witness then proceeded to give all the facts as he recoIlected them about the removal of the clothing, the examination of the parts, &e, &c One examination was made by the eye and the other by manipulation.
 Mir. Jones-If the hymen had been rup- tured on Friday night would you expect to find inflammation of the parts on Saturday
