complete until Friday night. when she
was seen in their company, that they
poisoned her with arsenic and threw
her body into the water at or near Sa-
vim Rock Grove.
The corpse of the beautiful girl was
found by an old fisherman early in the
morning of August the 9Th, near the Sa-
vim Rock Grove, and was buried in
Evergreen Cemetery two days later.
Suspicion of foul play arose against the
Malleys and later against Dou-
glass in whose company de-
ceased had been seen. On
the 9th of January, 1882, the body was
exhumed and traces of arsenin found
within it. Indictments against the ac-
cused we're drawn up, charging them
with the wilful murder of Jennie E.

State-Attorney Doolittle is at the head
OF the prosecution. Four days were con-
sumed in the selecting jury, and testi-
mony was not opened until April 25th.
At this writing the case for the prosecu-
ton is nearly complete. it is CLAIMED
to have been shown that Miss Cramer
was poisoned with arsenic, that she had
been robbed of her innocence within
sixty hours before her death, presum-
sbly by James Malley; that conspiracy
to ruin her had been carried into
effect by the three accused per-
sons and that one or more of these
were seen with her as late as ten or
eleven O'Clock on the night which imme-
diately preceded the finding of her body.
It will be seen that this fails to connect
the accused directly with her death.
There is, as yet, no evidence tending to
show that they or any one or two of
Them administered arsenic to her, and
the gap of six or seven hours between
the time when they or any one or two of
them were last seen with her and the
finding of her body remains to be filed
up. The defence may rely either upon
the weakness of the caee for the prosecu-
ton, or proceed in the attempt to prove
an slibi in favor of all the accused and
to show that the presence of arsenic in
the body was due to deceased's habit of
taking it for the purpose Of identifying
her complexion.
James Malley is described as stout,
thick-set young fellow with an intelligent
face. He is cousin of Waiter, who is
sharp-faced young man of slighter
build than his kinsman. Blanche Doug
lass is an ordinary looking girl with
white complexion and fabby face which
wears habitually sad expression.

The fate Of Poor Jenaie E Crsmer.

The fate of poor Jenny e. Cramer is
subject of universal interest in this
country. A pretty young girl, gay and
lively but innocent, falls into worse
than questionable company, and is seen
with some of her associates only Z or 8
hours before her dead body is dragged
from the water. The story is an exceed
ingly sad one, and its incidents empha-
size the value of wise and firm domestic
management in the preservation of
youth and Dea0ty in the snares set for
its destruction.
The young girl, who was so foully
murdered, lived with her parents in New
Haven, Connecticut, who were in
moderate circumstances. The names
of her murderers are Blanche Douglass,
James Malley and Walter Malley, and
are now on trial in that city. She was q
pretty girl, of lively disposition, and q
favorite among the young people of the
place in which she resided. At one time
she served in cigar store kept by her
father, and this employment as matter
Of course, enlarged her acquaintance
with the young men Of the neighbor-
hood. In New Haven Mr.. Edward
Malley owns q dry goods establishment,
at which O large business is done, and
he is reputed . wealthy man. His son
Walter Malley, and nephew James
Malley, were consequently regarded with
the distinction which wealth or re-
puted wealth is apt to give. They enjoyed
the use of means and leisure, dressed
well and were dashing young fellows, on
the lookout for . good time, with the
health, money and freedom to enjoy the
opportunity when it came.
The precise time when these young
men became acquainted with the de-
ceased beauty does not appear. James
Malley visited her the first time on the
18th Of July, 1881. Between this date
and the oath Of the same month when she
received note from him inviting her "a

time. On Thursday, the 4th Of August

The Model Sexton.

Josiah Fl. HAYWOOD sexton of the Church of
the Unity, Boston, has recently celebrated his
silver wedding. Among the incidents of the
festive occasion was the reading of a letter from
the Rev. NJ. j. Savage, his pastor, in which he
said:

goOd-to suggest a few faults. If you can only
manage TO cure these you Will have become the
ideal sexton. and you can command salary of
$1,000 year. or perhaps earn more than that
by travelling with Barnum as the greatest Gu
riOsity of the age. The faults alude to are
such as these:
''Fust-YOu have not yet learned how to make
the church hot and cool at the same time. You
must learn how to have one pew mark Is degrees

have free circulation, plenty Of fresh air, and
yet not have any draught anywhere. You must
invent some way to make all the drauShts skin
the pews where rheumatic and bald-headed

Third have not yet acquired the art of
having the church flooded with light while all
the blinds are shut at the same time. This
should be attended to at once, and you should
not offer any such poor excuse as that it is i'm

BEARDED FACES.


From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Thirty years ago . few persons Of foreign
birth appeared in the streets with hair on the
upper lip, and were subjects Of curiosity and
sometimes of public ridicule. In 1850 some OF
the young swells of the metropolis began to
wear mustaches, but for some time no clerk
would venture to initiate them. In one case a
merchant on Vine street who had just engaged
clerk for twelve months, or during good be-
havior, discharged him for wearing full beard.
Claiming that the adoption of the fashion laid
the cerlppen to dismissal under the good be-
haviOr clause to the contract. About the same
time number of leading merchants gave no.
tice that they would employ nobody who wore
hair on the upper lip. As late as 1851 the senior
proprietor OF this paper made his cashier shave
OF an incipient mnstache, and soon after
brought his own son under the razor. In the
church of DR.. Bethune on Brooklyn Heights,
an elder who was suffering from lame wrist
allowed his beard to grow rather than to sub
NIT to barber. The habit, beginning in ne
costly, continued on account of the increase of
comfort which it afforded, and the elder
Haunted his beard before his congregation con-
stantly. The result was laughable. Many of
the brethren called upon the pastor to insist
upon doing away with such scandal as full
bearded elder. He led them to his library and
showed them how some of the early fathers had
pleaded against cutting off the beard. ale
turned to Lactantius. Theodore, ST. Augustine
and st. Cyprian. who had stOutly contended for
the growth of q full beard. He quoted from
Clement Of Alexandria the assertion that
mature adorned men, like lion. with beard,
as mark of strength and power" When one
of the visitors asked him how he would like it
If the clergy assumed the mustache, Dr. Bethune
referred him to decision of the fourth Coun-
Gil of Carthage CA. ID. 252, can. A. in which it
was positively enacted that clergyman shall
not shave his beard, and to a statement made
by Luther in discussing the subject. 'that all the
Protestant martyrs were burned in their full
boards" This did not settle the matter, for
subsequently the ladies of the congregation
put in their protest. But in few months a
venturesome lawyer let his beard grow after
the manner of the elders, and in little while
smooth shaven faces we're no longer the rule,
but were the exception.
