Mrs. Bonine Made Statement of Ter
Connection With Crime to Friend.
Washington, Nov. 27.-The fact waa
brought out yesterday in the trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida Bonnie for the killing
Of James Seymour Ayres Jr., that she
had made a private confession Of her
part in the tragedy on the evening af-
ter the homicide, several days before
she took the police officials into her
confidence. This recital was made TO
George B. Gardner, an attorney en-
ployed in the law division of the in
terror department, who was a boarder
at the Kenmore Hotel and usually sat
at the same table at which Mrs. Bo-
nine took her meals. Mr. Gardner
was on the witness stand yesterday
and told his story for the first time.
He said that Mrs. Bonine had sought
him out and asked his advice as to
whether she should make a public
statement, and that he had suggested
to her that she should delay her con-
| fession until the theory of suicide,
which was first entertained, should be
fully exploited.
A number of other witnesses were
heard during the day, several of them
being men who had taken Ayres out
to neighboring saloons during the
evening of May IA, and one of whom
had taken him to his room after mid
night, about two hours before he met
his death. The witness who tool
Ayres to his room was a young mar
named Burns, who stated that wheI
he left Ayres the latter was perfectly
sober. These witnesses general!
agreed that Ayres had taken about two
glasses of beer, and that he was no
under the influence of liquor. Burni
said that on one occasion he had seeI
Ayres treat Mrs. Bonine contemptu
ously. He said She had nursed hin
(Burns) when sick and had visite,
his room both day and night.

Louis J. Vanschaik, OF the Fourth In

who had attacked and sacked the
hamlet of Siarababa, near Cayite
Upon seeing the Filipinos, Vanschaick
ordered his men to charge them. The

being mounted, reached the insurgents
so yards in advance of his men. He
killed three of them with his revolver.
An insurgent fired his rifle point
blank at Vanschaick at four PAGES, but
missed. Lieutenant Vanschaick was
then knocked from his horse. He
jumped to his feet and engaged in a
hand-to-hand conflict with the enemy
using the butt of his revolver. He sus-
tanned two severe wounds, one Of
which nearly severed his wrist. At
this point the lieutenant's men ar
rived, rescued him and put the in

recommended for a medal of honor for
bravery in a previous engagement.
