the young Census Office clerk, killed in
the Kenmore Hotel last spring, tonight
returned verdict of not guilty aftec be-

orally expected, the popular impression
here being that from the evidence sub

its case against Mrs. BONNIE. Thu jury
was out less than five hours. retiring a
few minutes after four o'clock in the af-

at the time young Ayres was killed be-
cause of the mystery surrounding the
case, until the statement made by Mrs.
