Frank Drew, the Capitol policeman,
whose room was opposite the one &C.

before the tragedy on one occasion be
saw Mrs. Bonnie come from Ayres's
room at o'clock In the evening. Un-
der cross examination he made an I'm

that the door to Ayres's room could be

having contended that it was impos'
sible, because there wssn't room enough

that they pointed outward. Relative
to Mrs. Bonine's visit to Ayres's room
