The Bonine Trial.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Interest In
the Bonnie murder trial Ia growing
more intense from day to day, as evil
denced by the crowding OF the court
room. The adjournment until Monday
Is said to be In the interest OF expedi'
ting affairs. District attorney Gould
saws he will trim down his list OF wit
nesses to q minimum. BY the study
he is giving to the subject today he
expects to cut of several days of the
proceedings. Attorney Douglass for
the defense facetiously remarked that
be might as we'll rest his case now, for
that 10 the very opening address Its
weakness was made evident by the To-
ability of the government to ascTios
any motive for the crime. The govern
ment has decided to not present the
erewsome anatomical msuikin which
was intended to impress on the
Jury the nature OF the wounds inflicted
on Ayres. There was much objection
because OF the horrible appearance OF
the effigy, aud Mr.. Gould, rather than
lay himself open to adverse criticism,
decided to refrain from 10 king use Of
the object, convinced that lie can make
bis point 10 some other way.
Today the jurymen In the case were
driven around the city 10 large yell
low omnibus. The party left the City
Hall at 10 o'clock, accompanied by
TWO deputy msrshals, and had an co.
ioyable trip through the outskirts OF
the city proper. The jurors have
practically been prisoners since the
trial began. They have Nbeeu refused
access to the outer world except when
carefully guarded. Thus far nine
witnesses have appeared for the gov
eminent, and the ninth has merely
begun his testimony. This is J. Frank
Drew, Capitol policeman, who &C.
cupied the room 10 the Kenmore OPP
posite that OF Ayres. This leaves the
government with sixty-four witnesses
who will testify before the defence can
put on the score of persons to be called
in behalf of Mrs. Bonnie. At the
present rate Of progress the trial will
last at least three weeks more. Sew
eral OF the witnesses TO be called by
the prosecution will be on the stand
for ct least q day each. 10 one in-
stanoe-thst OF Miss Mary E. Minas,
who occupied the room next to that o.
Ayres, and who heard the shooting and
the groaps-the witness will probably
