Judge Granger SalQ ne haN not Sdiu tAbt. MT Stnddall qrasped at this straw and sked If he could ask Nh Kelsey few q1es- ions The court assented and the lawyer ed the witness to say-The corOner's jury leld a secret session at Sheriff Pecks house; 7IaGctc -rae :n Mr Penls's charge l under ,tood tbat he had her under arrest; dt n't know that Dr. Painter took letter there-l don't know what he did.
 Judge Granger-If any inducement was held out to this girl to testify you plAy state it.
 The witness answered-i think that there i were some inducements held out to her be- . fore this secret session to change her state ment and tell the truth.
 At thls copnsel for the defense asked per l mission 10 send for Mir Peck to show what the inducements were as shown by the letter in his possession. Judge Granger granted the permlssiOn-
 Deputy Sheriff Peck was called to the wit ness stand: MT. Kelsey stepped down for moment He testified that he was present rehe:l tho first and second statements of Blanche Douglass wers made.
 Was any letter delivered to her between her first and second statements :' MT Jones asked
 "Yes. sir" Mir. Peck answered,
 By whom
 By my self.
 The witness further said that the letter was written at Mir Kelsey's suggestion, and was dictated by him. He said the letter was at his home and he could produce it.
 Mir Jones asked the court to suspend any further examination as to the second state ment or confession made by Blanche Doug lass until the letter produced Judge Granger so ordered it. Mir. Peck was qrested by Mir DooIitt!e to go and get horse at once and drive home and get the letter.
 Who will pay the expense? MT. Case asked.
 The State of Connecticut, sharply said MT. Doolittle.
 Meanwhile Mir. Jones began to cross -ex- anime Mir Kelsey, who said-I took notes of the testimony given by Blanche Douglass at West Haven they were originally taken on scraps of paper which I copied don't know where those scraps of paper are now; 1 re lied upon my memory for most of the testl mony that I have recalled here; don't re- member that Blanche testified that when she went down to Mrs, Cramer's with Jennie that Jennie first went down stairs and when she came up the first thing she said to Blanche was that she had better go away.
 MT Jones read, as he questioned from notes taken by the stenographer employed by the Malleys at West Haven during the coro- ner's inquest. Some portions were remem- bered by the witness, while others were for gotten.
 Did Blanche testify that Jennie's mother said, You terrible bad girl; you have been away three or four times ?" l think Jennie said she didn't stay away but one night. I think Mrs. Cramer was more bent on blaming Blanche than Jennie.
 The Latest.
 Sensation--The Blanche Douglass Tes-
 timony or Confession Inducement-The
 r0E,
 Testiinony-Dr. Painter and the Sadie
 Nunroe Letter.
 Did she say then she advised Jennie to stay there at the house, and that Jennie re piled, My father will kill me-? I think do remember that. Yes, l think Blanche said she remained few moments after Jen- nie went away from the house. ''That was the last I saw of Jennie at the house. I saw her at the car" Yes there are details of the statement at the house that do not recall. am asking what came out at her first statement when the shorthand reporter was there? Yes, sir, l understand it. Did she say any thing as to where they were when Jennie made up the story to be told the mother :? I am under the impress sion it was at the time they took breakfast at Redcliffe's.
 Did she state that she went to Mrs. Ora mer's at the request of Jennie? Yes, sir She my have said they went to the Elliott House from Redcliffe's. MT, Jones-Now as to some statements of James? I think James said they took sev- eral rides. The party of four went to the lighthouse. Mo- won't swear to that. He said they had several rides. Now, wasn't 1t in substance that James gave only one account of four being there It is possible I may have confounded the statements. I know several rides were testi- fled to. I think he said the four went on oth- CT rides than the one, but, yes, may be mis- taken. I know that in the different state ments different rides were spoken of I re- member that it was said that Waiter took Blanche out riding and James took Jennie Yes, James did testify to stopping in at Diebels restaurant, but not finding chicken salad or lamb chops there turned around and went to Redclffe's.
 Did Walter testify before your inquest when he first knew that Mrs. Cramer had been to the Malley store It was that after noon of Thursday.
 Did he state how he knew it? I think he knew that Mrs. Cramer had been there and inquired of James for Jennie ] think it quite possible.
 Do you remember he testified to sending James down to the Elliott House to find Blanche, and that James went and did not find her I don't remember.
 MT. Kelsey, didn't Walter testify that he started to go to New York, hearing that B anche had gone? He testified he was afraid both girls had gone
 Did he not testify that he never thought of Jennie Cramers brother being in New York until he was on the way to New York, and that then he telegraphed back for Jennie Cramer's brothers address? I don't re- member. No, I don't remember asking Wal ter why he did not first ascertain Cramer's address in New York. Yes, Walter testified that he took Blanche to Branford Point Fri day night and returned about 10 or II.
 Did you ask why he didn't take James with him? No, sir; don't remember James tes- tifed to something to that effect
 Can you distinguish from your notes as to what James or Walter said on that point I don't remember there was something said about getting horse to go somewhere-on horseback somewhere, but I Idon't recall
 Did not Walter ask James to get Joe Brunt, a cousin of the parties, and get horse and they go riding also to Branford Point and all go in bathing together? No, sir; I do not recoIect.
 Did not Walter say that he was first intro duced to Jennie and the other lady at East Haven, on the Duff party occasion? 1 don't remember.
 Do you mean to swear that James said the party was made up beforehand and was not owing to Duffs requesting that couple of lady friends be got to make up party, and that at Duffs suggestion Mrs Brown and another lady, the latter staying in the store not Jennie Cramer-were first suggested to be obtained? No, sir l will not swear it was not so.
 The first time Jennie saw James she was on the old Green and introduced by Higgins, was she not ? Yes sir, that was the testimony
 Did he not say that there were two girls on the Green, good looking girls. They looked over their shoulder, he and Higgins followed and got acquainted with them and they went and got ice cream together? No, sir don't think it was so said
 Don't you remember ttat James said that after getting the ice cream the two couples | went back to the Green and stayed there till l 12 o'clock? I think he said they went back | to the green.
 But didn't he say that the next time Jennie 1 came in the store she asked for Higgins
 I don't tnink he did.
 Recess here ensued following which there | was a lull of ominous silence, and the forces l prepared for battle again State Attorney Doo1ittle having reappeared the court gave the signal to go on, and Mir. Dooittle an- nounced that he had 8 letter written by | Walter Malley to Blanche Douglass, at which l Mr. Case exclaimed, Let's see it !" and MT Doolittle said, ''Oh! I will, and James Malley, jr., looked at Walter and laughed, and | the lawyers put their heads together and l looked disposed to be merry
