(Woman who confesses to having
killed James S. Ayres at Wash
ington.)
The story she told to Major Sylves-

is as follows:

never had any relations with him
other than those of a fellow boarder.
He made a confidant of me in many
particulars, and, being older than he,
l felt justified in reproving him about
March for drinking too much. He
resented my interference to that ex-
tent and quarreled with me. From
that time until the night of the shoot

Il had retired on Tuesday night
when knock came to the door after
l o'clock. | arose and found Mr.. Ayres
with an overcoat thrown about him.
He told me that he had been taken

get him medicine or do something for
him l invited him to step inside until
l could look for box of bromo-laxa-
tive tablets, but they were not TO De

clothes, stockings, and wrapper.
Il reached Mr.. Ayres' room almost
as soon as he did, and he drew me in
and quickly locked the door behind
him.
"Ayres caught me, and then dis
covered a pistol in his right hand. He
pointed the weapon at me and said he
would make me. listen to him. In my
fright 1 caught hold of the pistol with
one hand over the other and in the

was going away, went to his room and
after a quarrel shot him. There Is
evidence that there was struggle for

CHAPTER (Continued)
Mr.. Cowley's jaw dropped. His face
would have been a study for painter
as he gazed at his unearthy visitants,
with his hands resting upon his knees.
He had threatened such visitors
with the tongs, it is true; but pinch

Rose and Catharine hearing this in

who were putting out the candles
down below, and making themselves
in many ways extremely useful.
Before the clock struck one, all the
house was still-each inmate wrapped
