Voices Of the Niqht.

With feet shod with silence, let us
creep near a dense tangle of sweet
brier and listen to the sounds Of the
nightfolk. How few there are that
our ears can analyzec We huddle close
to the ground and shut our eyes. Then
little by little, we open them and set
our senses of sight and hearing at
keenest pitch. Even SO, how handi-
capped are we compared with the wild
creatures. A tiny voice becomes audi
BILE, then dies away-entering for a mo-
ment the narrow range of our coarse
hearing-and finishing it's message of
invitation or challenge in vibrations
too fine for our ears.-C. William Beebe

The Woman's Home Companion.

The Woman's Home Companion for
August, with it's nine short stories,
might we'll be called a fiction number
were it not for the fact that there
seems to be no diminution whatever
in the quality of other matter. Among
the nine writer's Of the stories may be
mentioned Morgan Robertson, Seumas
MacManus, Ella Higginson, Julia
Truitt Bishop and Ohio B. Senga. More
particularly noteworthy of the SPECIAL
articles are when the Tornado Goes
Skylarking,' with some striking pho
tographs. The AmericanizatiOn of the

MaIIey Killed In Runaway.

Waiter Malley left New Haven
after the trial and went to Pennsyl-
vania where ne took up the study of
medicine and did we'll for time. Some
years later ne met horrible death, in
runaway accident. James, 1 believe,
is still living in New Haven, in any
event I have heard nothing to the con-
trary. 1 think that rather disposes of
the Jennie Cramer case, and when the
King county officials hear from the east
they will find out that the statements
1 nave made come pretty close to being
the facts
This lie Roy whom 1 never heard of
before must have got the Rose Amber
case and the Jennie Cramer case
mixed and then tried to fake in the
letails. 1 don't remember a great deal
about the Amber case as 1 did not
know any of the persons interested and
vas not so close to the scene. She
was murdered about six years after the
Jennie Cramer affair and 1 don't recog-
nize any of the details given by lie
Roy. According to my memory, she
was a country girl who was found dead
in some brush on the outskirts of
Stratford. l believe that ner throat
had been cut, although l am not posi-
tive ,on that point. l do know, how
ever, that it was a mystery how she
came to her death and that no one
was ever arrested or tried for the Of
Tense. 1t was one of those mysterious
cases that apparently had no begin
ming and no ending. There were no
clues to start work on and after time
the case was forgotten. Those who
lived in that section Of the country
will remember that book Of the "Oli
Sleuth" style was written about the

September Cosmopolitan.

Most people unless they follow the
technical scientific journals, are quite
unaware of what has been actually ac-
complished in the artificial production
of life. They therefore will be the less
prepared for the startling statements
made by Garrett P. Serviss in an il
Illustrated article entitled Artificial
Creation of Life" in the September
Cosmopolitan. Mr.. Serviss describes
fully the present condition of sea-ur-
chin's eggs, and the still more startling
attempts of Doctor Burke in England.
No article in the September magazines
possesses so much popular interest as
this one.

so DECLARES A PROMINENT
EASTERN MAN NOW VISIT
ING IN TACOMA.
Says That Jennie Cramer's Body Was
Found Floating Off Savin
Rookie Roy a Faker.

The story told of the murder of
pretty Jennie Cramer at New Haven,
Conn.,, by ]. H. LIE Roy, the negro con-
Wet at Seattle, sentenced to serve a
life sentence in the Walla Walla peni-
tertiary for murder, is declared to be
the rankest kind of fake by an eastern
man who is visiting at Tacoma.
AS a matter of fact Jennie Cramer
was not killed at Stratford, Conn.,, but
at New Haven. The body was found
floating one morning, some twenty
four years ago, near Savin Rock on
West Haven beack. The murder which
took place at Stratford and the one to
which Leroy undoubtedly refers was
the murder of Rose Amber, who was
killed some six years after the murder
of Jennie Cramer.
Entirely Disproves lie. Roy's Story.
The story as told The Ledger by
man who lived at New Haven at the
time and is we'll acquainted with the
entire Cramer family, entirely dis
proves lie Roy's story. 1t is briefly as
follows:
Jennie Cramer was beautiful girl,
20 years old when she was murdered,
which was about twenty-four years
as we'll as the two young men who
were arrested and tried for the crime
Her body was found floating off Savin
Rock early one morning and with
every evidence that she had been
murdered. She was we'll known in
New Haven and her family was we'll
to do and respected. Consequently
there was a great stir and the press of
the country took the matter up.
the upshot of the Investigations
was that Walter and James Malley
were arrested for the crime and tried
after being held in jail for eleven
months. They were acquitted. There
was considerable excitement all during
largest department store owner in the
state and wealthy man. Walter NAL
ley was also we'll off. One of the
points at issue was whether or not the
girl was alive on a Friday previous to
the day her body was found. I, with
some half dozen others, had seen her
on that day, and we were prepared to
testify to the fact 1 did not go on the
stand because there were several wit
nesses who swore to the same thing
and my testimony was not needed.
merely mention this fact to show that
1 had some interest in the trial which
would cause the circumstances to re-
main fresh in nv memory
