Il MALLEY CASE

Yesterday The Optic quoted Judge
s. r.. Booth In reference 10 the Nal.
ley case. The New York World says:
II snbstantiatlon follows the report
ed confession OF George II. Leroy. a
negro convict under life sentence for
murder In Seattle. Wash. that he and
two other men strangled Jennie Cram.
or OF New Haven, and threw her body
into the Sound Off Savin Rock nearly
a quarter OF a century ago. n OF the
most sensational murder mysteries OF
modern times will have been solved
and at the same time some measure
Of Justice will come TO those whose
lives have been In a great measure
biighted by the suspicion that came TO
them In connection with the girls
death.
Walter Malley Of New Haven, one
Of the richest and loneliest men IN
the gay college town: Blanche Doug
lass. who was a defendant with him
at the Jennie Cramer murder trial.
and his cousin, James Malley. now a
doctor in an obscure Pennsylvania
village. who was the third defendant.
are the persons most directly con-
cerned about the truth OF Convict lie
roy's confession.
After their acquittal James Malley
left New Haven forever. Blanche
Douglass returned 10 New York and
was later reported dead, though II II
insisted that she did not die.
Walter Malley was twenty-three
years old when he was arrested on
suspicion Of having murdered Jennie
Cramer. His father. Edward Malley,
was d wealthy merchant. Walter had
plenty OF money. and In 1881 while on
a visit to Blanche Douglass, a quasi
actress, became very much attached
to her. He liked her SO well h
took her back to New Haven with him
Jennie Cramer was a New Haven
girl. the daughter OF a German tobac
conist. She was strikingly pretty
and her beauty brought trade to the
tobacco shop. She liked to be admir-
ed and her most persistent suit0I
was James Malley.
On Aug, q. 1881. the dead body Of
Jennie Cramer was found on the
beach at Savin Rock. Jennie had
disappeared from her home on the
morning previous.
Suspicion at once fastened on the
Malley boys, and Blanche Douglass
as Jennie had been with them con
tinuously up to the time she was lost
sight Of. After eleven months In jail
they were brought to trial. Edward
Malley stuck by his son and nephew
and provided the best legal talent In
the state for their defense.
The Malleys and Blanche Douglass
admitted they had spent Thursda,
night with Jennie Cramer.
The Malleys accounted for every
moment of their time on Friday night
The contention Of the state that Jen
ME Cramer had been poisoned ant
her body rowed out and cast into the
sound was upset. After an hours
deliberation the jury returned an &C
Guittal.
Walter Malley was married In Oct0
Der. 1901. AT the time Of his mar,
riage he denied that his bride was
Blanche Douglass.
