There was great excitement in po-
lice circles this morning on account of

MRS. LOLA IDA BONNIE.

1t was evident that murder had been
committed, but for six days the case
was a deep mystery. All the inmates OF
the house were questioned and watched.
Several Of them We're under suspicion Of
knowing more about the case than they
We're willing to admit. Miss Mary T..
Minas, who is a census office clerk, had
a room adjoining Ayres'. She had not
given the alarm. although she admitted
that she had heard the shots. Her ex-
PLANTATION of her silence was that she
had been terrified and was afraid to leave
her room.
Mrs. Bonnie Showed Sympathy.
Mrs. BONNIE had been picked out by
the father of the dead man as the most
intelligent person in the house and the
one most likely to aid in ferreting OUT
the crime. She displayed great SYM
pathy and offered many suggestions. Her
husband is a travelling salesman. and
was away from Washington at the time
Of the tragedy.
While Mrs. Bonnie was comforting the
distressed father of the murdered man
the detectives were weaving web OF
evidence around her. They discovered
that she had been very friendly with
young Ayres. A chambermaid said that
she had seen Mrs Bonine in Ayres room
On one occasion, while she was putting
the room in order. Mrs. BONNIE had en-
tered, and Ayres had asked the cham
bermaid to withdraw.
The detective watched Mrs. BONNIE
They summoned her before the coroner's
inquest. Just before she was to go or
the stand she went to lunch with one
of the detectives and minated that she
could tell something. but objected te
telling because it would reflect on the
dead" She was pressed. and finally
made a confession to the detective
which she repeated to the district at.

Street Commissioners Believe They Can
Build Road For Less Money

Fids were opened saturday afternoon by
the Board of Street Commission, for the
construction of macadam and tclford
roadway on Colchester avenue from the
head Of Pearl street at Prospect street TO
the Winooski bridge. There were three
bidders and, it being the belief Of the com
missioners that the street ucpartmcn
could construct the road at a less price
than that of the lowest bidder none was
accepted. The work is a PORTION of that
authorized with the issuing q the recent
$4,000 bonds for street Improvement.
The bids received were as follows:
Charles l.. Woodbury., i9247.S0: Peter Shee-
ran, %JS4 9S; r. f. Moore $7lii.oG. The IS.
innate of w. :. Racot, tho engineer sccur-
ed by the city in 1894 for consultation as
to permanent work. included the work for
which bids were asked This estimate was
for an lS-foot roadway and the present b. ds
were upon a road two feet less in width
Allowing for the decrease in width of the
roadway the estimate was S6S9S o.
1t Is not probable that the work will go
further than the preparatory stages this
fan but that it Will be taken up early in
the spring and pushed to completion. The
