from that displayed toward other
guests of the hotel.
The first witness called was William

the Kenmore at the time OF the trag-
edy. He testified that the dances at
the Kenmore were usually arranged by
Mrs. Bonnie. and that ut these dances
her bearing toward Ayres was nothing

habit. he said. when the dancers were
not prompt in their attendance. to go
To their rooms and urge them to come
down. Richard L. jerks said he heard
Mrs. Bonine giving Ayres advice
