hen read from wharton's criminal law, and g aid the books~(were full of circumstances 5 where plarder was committed on less provo akfon. Continuing. he said there were @ , thousand motives for murder and among these arc unlawful sexual intercourse. He cited the case of Mrs. Kate Cobb and her paramour Bishop, now in State prison for life Now, said Mir. Doolittle, the defense sought the best counsel in this State to de- fend them. They have gone out of the State and employed the best legal talent they could find. No one has suggested flaw in the SCI entifc testimony in this case. The blood will obey the law of creation and circulate equally, and if poison is taken into the stom- 1 ach it will be distributed equally through | every part of the body. Now, gentlemen, l this arsenic was given in liquid form, and when taken in this form it seldom produces inflammation of the stomach. Truth is ever consistent. Arsenic affects the nerves and produces paralysis, stupor, death. When Jennie Cramer got off of those horses and
 said she was paralyzed, the poison at that
 moment was coursing through her veins
 When she was in this agony she was taken
 somewhere to one of the Malley cottages or bath houses. somewhere. but we don't know where. It is an adage that "the devil helps a man into B scrape but don't help him out. The facts are, gentlemen, that the body after death was taken down on the sand beach near the water and there left to be washed up by the incoming tide. These facts, gentle | men, The attorney then went over the work | of Professor Chittenden in his chemical anal ysis and said that the science was wonderful | and the weighing of the arsenic was absolute I ly correct. There is not a man that dare to risk his reputation by picking flaws in Pro- 1 lessor Chttenden's investigation. We have advanced in science wonderfully during the past few years. Referring to the theory ad ! vanced by the defense that arsenic could l have got into the body by coming in contact I with ssWashburne's Solution'' at the under
 takers, he said that there was nothing of the l kind that had ever been used by the under l takers, and If there had have been it could | not have got into the body with @ circulation 1 of the blood. I say, gentlemen, that these boys and this girl deliberately planned to de- ! stroy the peace of this family. James, on his own statement, had known Jennie Cramer l for over a year he had tried to get her to go ! and ride time and time again, but did not l succeed then they brought Blanche Doug l lass from New York and she was introduced to ! her as Walters cousin. and this was done to l disarm suspicion. What was that lie told for ? Gan you tell me of anything except to disarm l suspicion? !? They afterward swear before 1 the coroner's jury with nplifted hand and before God that this girl Douglass is their | cousin. Is it not true that Blanche Douglass
 
 dy's to lead Jennie Gramer from the paths of ! virtue? Who will deny it? The visit to the
 Malley house on Wednesday night was then I referred to. He said there wine and
 music and there was revelry by night, yet it did not reach the ear of Annie Clerkin, who
 says she laid awake all night and did not hear
 the slightest noise. The anxiety of Jennie
 to go home and the means used to keep he1
 there were referred to, which the attorney
 sid was for no other purpose than to effect
 her ruin. Then they were afraid that Jennie l might tell her mother of the cruel wrong l that had been done her, and they sent 1 Blanche with her SO that she should not re
 ! veal the criSne of the preceding night. Bu ! the instinct of that mother soon discovered . l the true character of that Douglass woman and she refused to shake hands with her } Mir. Doolittle here went over the evidence about Jennie going to West Haven on Thurs , day and reviewed it at considerable length Then followed the evidence of Mrs. Miller who testified to seeing Jennie on Chape = street with Blanche He then took up tn
 evidence of Mrs Klipstein, who saw her ol . Thursday afternoon on Chapel street. H argued from this testimony that Jennie re ] turned to this city on Thursday afternoon l from Savin Rock and could not have bee
 there on Thursday night.
 At 1T:3O recess was ordered, which con , ] tinued ten minutes.
 After recess Mir. Doolittle resumed his al = gument. He continued te review the ev f dence of the witnesses. Referring to the ev:
 I dence of Rawlings, the chief erk at Red
 I cliffe's, he said there was no doubt about tn v fact from Rawlings testimony that Waite D and Jennie and Blanche were at RedchHe r. on Thursday night and had lamb chops an
 | milk. John Henry, the colored waiter, say '- the girls came in the morning and that the l came in again at night just as he was gettin if ready to shut up, and he was sure that tner , ! were two ladies and one gentleman; that "h
 got the order and he ought to know" Thel r is nobody on the face of this earth to contr' y dict Rawlings Henry. Now if there WI e anybody else with Blanche Douglass on thu " Thursday night it has not been produced b. :, fore you, gentlemen. The departure ( u Walter for New York and the reception 7, the telegram by him from James and the r % turn after receiving the telegram at Stan ;r ford, he said was blind they were lookir
 aftsr Jennie Cramer. Mir. Doolittle contil 3 ued at length reviewing the evidence of tf h witnesses for the defense and attempting B. show that their evidence was conflicting ar a contradictory. He admitted that Walt ~ Malley was at Branford Point on Fridt
 night at 9 o'clock, but that he could easl 'd | have reached Savin Rock in an hour, and a 7e serted that he did go there to sec if the pls
 that he and James had concocted for u
 murder of Jennie Cramer was working we 10 and if not to give advice accordingly.
 At 12:53 Judge Granger ordered rece ID until o'clock.
