BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
The Investigation of the Ayers MUIR
der Mystery Begun.

An investigation Of the circumstances
surrounding the killing of James Seymour
Ayers, jr., at the Kenmore Hotel, on the
morning of May 10 last, was begun by
the grand jury about noon yesterday.
Seven witnesses were summoned by the
District Attorney to testify before the
jury, but only three of these gave evil
dence. Those who were called yesterday
to testify are Lieutenant Moore and Po-
liceman Brady, of the Metropolitan Police,
and Daniel Woodhouse, who was en-
ployed at the Kenmore at the time the
tragedy occurred. The other witnesses
summoned but who were not called yes
terday TO give evidence are William w.
Warfieid, the proprietor of the Kenmore;
his brother NJ. r. Warfield; B. ]. Will
Jams, detective, and John F. Drew. As
stated, the investigation was begun about
noon, and was carried on without inter-
mission until few minutes before 4
o'clock.
District Attorney Gould has delegated
Assistant District Attorney Hugh T. Tag
gart to direct the presentation of the ew-
dence in the hands of the Government to
the grand jury. After the investigation
was adjourned Mr.. Taggart stated that
the greater part of the time yesterday
had been taken I'D In hearing the evi-
dence of Lieutenant Moore. The testi-
mony of the other two witnesses who
were examined, he said did not occupy
a great deal of time. The witnesses who
were in attendance yesterday but not ex-
amined, he said, will be called to testify
today. The examination of the witnesses,
Mr. Taggart stated, is not being con-
Quoted with view of establishing any
particular theory as to how Ayers was
killed, but simply to place before the jury
all evidence possible, which will tend to
unrayel the mystery surrounding his
death.
Mr. Taggart was unable yesterday to
approximate the length of time 1t Will
take to submit to the grand jury the evil
dence now at the command of the Gov
ernment. From what was learned. how
ever, it is safe to say that the investiga-
tion will extend into next week. The tes-
timony given yesterday before the grand
jury was reported stenographically by
Jesse Atkins, of the District Attorneys
Office, and will be Transcribed for future
use in the prosecution of the case. The
investigation will be continued by the
grand jury this morning.
