MRS. BONINt'S TRIAL
SENSATIONAL CASE TO OPEN IN
WASHINGTON.
Tragic Death of James Seymour Ayres
to be investigated by Jury-cov-
eminent Has Summoned Seventy
three Witnesses Against Woman
Great interest Taken in Case.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Today at 10
| o'clock before Judge Thomas NJ. An
derson in the criminal court. will be-
| gin the trial of Mrs Lola Henry Bo-
nine, under Indictment for the murder
| OF James Seymour Ayres, Jr.. in Ken
more hotel in this city the night Of
| May Is, last. The case attracted wide
spread interest at the time the tragedy
occurred, largely on account of the
mystery which shrouded the death of
the young man, and this interest was
augmented while the corOner's in
quiry was in progress by the dramatic
confession of Mrs. Bonine of her part
III the tragedy. She told her story to
the district attorney and local detect
ives, saying she had been in the room
when Ayres was shot and he was
killed in a struggle with her over the
possession of a revolver with which he
was trying to brighten her into com
pliance with improper demands on his
part. She has been in Jail under ar
rest since then. Mrs. Bonnie has asked
that about a dozen seats within the
railing be reserved for her friends.
She will be accompanied to the court
room by her husband and two sons, by
her sister, Mrs. Meacham, who has
come from her home in Missouri for
the purpose of being present, and by
one or two women friends. Seats also
have been reserved for five attorneys
To 7Trc ID
is not expected all of them will be
present at any time. District AttOr-
ne.' Asley NJ. Gould will be assisted in
the prosecution by Hugh T. Iaggarr
Seventy-three witnesses have been
summoned on behalf of the govern
ment. Thus far no subpOenas have
been issued for any witnesses in Mrs.
POnine's behalf.
For six months the government has
been working up its case. Although
it will call Z witnesses against Mrs.
Bonnie, including the best detectives
on the local force, so far as known at
this time, these viii be unable to shed
any further light on the most absorb
ing mystery in the criminal history Of
Washington than that revealed by the
defendant herself just prior to her
arrest. Her husband Joseph c. Bon
inc, travelling salesman for a Chicago
drug firm, Immediately after her arrest
engaged attorneys for her, and has
since exhibited every confidence in his
wifes innocence. Young Ayres was
q son Of James Seymour Ayres, a bust
ness man and politician of Port Austin,
Mich. He was clerk in the census
Office and employed the hours not en-.
gagged in the office in studying dentist
~.
One Of the efforts Of the prosecution
will be to show that the relations
existing between Ayres and Mrs. Bo-
nine were of the most intimate charac-
ter, Ayres' announced intention of
quitting the hotel furnishing a motive
for her alleged crime. An entire
week may be spent in securing a jury.

Madison, Nov. 10.


Sheriff Ernest Burmeister is having
more than he bargained for i'll landing
cx-Banker j. H. JOice behind the bars
in Wisconsin where he can be dealt
with on the charge of receiving de
posts in the dafunct Dane County bank
lat Stoughton, two years ago, after ne
knew the bank to be insolyent. Inc
sheriff, however, is determined to land
his man and leaves today for Chicago
.m company with District Attorney
Dudgeon.
After the sheriff caused Joicc TO be
arrested in Chicago d week ago, he
succeeded in getting the fugitive from
Wisconsin justice committed to jail at
that place in default Of furnishing
bonds in the amount Of $4,000. The
officer then fastened 70 Springfield to
secure executive recognition of the
IrequisltioD papers made necessary by
the refusal Of the cashier to
willingly face a Dane county court
While Mr.. Burmeister was debating
before Gov. Yates with lawyers repre-,
! sentlng JoiCe, other of the ex-banker's
| attorneys brought habeas corpus pro
; ceilings in Chicago and in a circuit
court succeeded in having the amour;
OF The bail bond lowered to $4,000
+ which amount was furnished by par
ties who in turn were secured by pa

The governor will hear the requisi
ton matter finally tomorrow, but it i:
greatly feared by Sheriff Burmeistel
that Joice will take leg
bal and forfeit his bond rather thar
lace the consequences Of the crime
alleged against him.
The sheriff has done the best h
could to get his man over the line ant

MT. Burmeister has advised Joice tina
nothing would be gained by fghtin;

however, were Of no avail in the fac

Rhinelander, Wis, Nov. 15.-George
Smith was shot and robbed in his sa-
loon at Tomahawk Lake, seventeen

in number both wearing masks, stood
on the porch looking into the saloon
and when Smith entered the room
they followed and told him to throw
up his hands, which he refused to do
Instead of obeying Smith struck one
of the men with his fist knocking him
down.
The mans partner then shot the sa-
loon keeper, the bullet striking his
right wrist, going through and into his
stomach. Smith fell and the men
looted the place, securing $500. They
then carried Smith to a back room
commanding him to stay there until
morning. Smith, although weak

gave the alarm. The robbers have not
been apprehended. Smith was brought
to the hospital here.

The Fntnrs Of Forests.

Those who have been dismally pre-
dieting that the forests of northern
Wisconsin and Michigan will soon be
gone and that the business which has
so far developed this territory will be
thing of the past, have overlooked a
few things Of interest. II is true that
The pine forests are rapidly vanishing
and that soon little pine timber of
value will be found standing. While
the rush has been on for pine, little
attention has been paid to the Inn
mense tracts of hardwood which cover
large share of this land, and which
have not been considered OF any con-
siderable value. This being the case,
there is no immediate danger OF north
ern Wisconsin being deserted with the
disappearance OF the pine, even though
no new enterprises come in. Work
ing of hardwood will take it's place
and the demand will be just as great
as 1t is for pine today.--Green Bay
