MRS. BONNIE 5
LAWYER SPEAKS
Staten ant Is Made by
Defense in the Muir
der Case. .
Evidence to Be Given About
the Killing Of Young
Ayers.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-The Govern
ment to-day closed its case in the trial
of Mrs Lola Ida Bonine for the killing
of James Seymour Ayers Jr., and Attor-
ney Keene of counsel for the defense
made preliminary statement In behaif
of Mrs. Bonine. 1t was evident from
Keene's statement that the effort would
be 10 show lack of motive for the shoot
ing on the part of Mrs. Bonine and to
support her plea that Ayers was killed
in a struggle after he had tried to in
timidate her with revolver.
The principal witness on the stand to-
day was Professor Schaefer, a chemist,
who made microscopical examination of
the wrapper worn by Mrs. Bonine on the
night of the tragedy and who said that
he found no traces of blood upon it. He
also said that he saw no blood on the
slippers which she had worn on that oc-
casion.
Another witness of the day was Ayers
father, who told Of an interview he had
had with Mrs. Bonine three or four days
after the killing. He outlined his efforts
did not respond.
In his preliminary statement for the
woman Attorney Keene contended in the
beginning for due consideration of the
presumption of innocence. This, he said,
was evidence, not a mere formality. 1t
was not the purpose of the defense TO
minimize the offense of which his client
was charged, for II was undeniable that
the tragedy had fallen heavily upon two
families. Many guests of the Kenmore
were TO be introduced. said Keene, and
he believed IL would be shown that the
character Of the people living there was
good.
keene called attention to the fact that
Mrs. Bonine was chosen as a leader in
the social festivities of the hotel and this
choice, he said, fell upon her because of
her capacity. The defense would show
that she had taught seven young men to
dance In December a dance of more
than ordinary Importance had been given
and young Ayers had appeared there so
much intoxicated that he was offensive to
those in attendance and Mrs. Bonine had
been compelled to ask a friend OF the
young man TO get him to retire This
incident had. he said. led TO some discord.
Continuing Keene said II would be
shown that in getting up the dances Mrs.
BONNIE had visited the rooms OF all per-
sons, regardless OF sex or age who could
dance, to get them TO participate. II
could also be shown that Mrs. Bonine was
fond of medicine and that this fondness
had served her in ministering TO the sick
ana that she did visit many OF them.
Another point which would be developed
was that the relations between Ayers and
mrs Bonine were not such as to cause
them 10 feel unwilling to break them.
Proof would also be given that on March
Mrs. Bonine had reproved Ayers for
drinking and that while some GOODNESS
resulted there was no strong feeling. as
was shown by the fact that on the Mon
day before the killing she ate icecream
with Ayers. 1t would also be shown. he
said, that on the evening before the trac.
edy Mrs. Bonine's manner was NOT that

WOMAN DOCTOR
Lydia Stratton, M. D., Is
Prosecuted by a Col
ored Man.
She Believes Him to Be
Insane and Wants Him
Arrested.

DR.. Lydia Stratton. who has offices IN
the Parrott building, secured warrants
from Judge Mogan yesterday for the ar
rest of Charles Robinson, a colored man,
on charges of disturbing the peace and
threats to kill. She was nervous and ex-
cited and shrank from. the publicity that
her action might cause.
She said she first knew Robinson when
he used to call at her office, 257 Geary
street, to see a colored porter, who was
his friend. Since then Robinson has been
calling at her Office repeatedly and in
sisting that she should teach him to be
physician. II patient happened to be
consulting her, Robinson would bounce
into the room Unexpectedly and raise a
disturbance.
She lives at 100 Bush street, and Fri
day night he stood OUTSIDE the house,
using vulgar and offensive language to
the annoyance of herself and the neigh
bors. He called her offensive names and
threatened to kill her IL she came out
side. She thinks the man must be crazy.
She was compelled to give up her Office
on Geary street owing to his persecution
and remove to the Parrott building. but
he has kept up his annoying visits there.
He was not only making her suffer pain
and humiliation by his conduct, but was
1nJuring her business, as most of her pa
tients were ladies'. who could not compre-
hend the mans extraordinary conduct.

TACOMA. Nov. S0.-The rediscovery Of
a mammoth coal vein on Cedar Mountain
is the latest development in the mineral
resources of Western Washington. Years
ago Cedar Mountain coal was the best

property. 1t was in Cedar Mountain coal
that he laid the foundation of his large
fortune.

sands of dollars to relocate 1t, but with.

An Employe of the Engineers
Office Seriously Hurt by a
Falling Roof.

DENVER, Nov. 3O.-A fire which started
at $50 o'clock this evening practically
gutted the Denver City Hall, causing
damage to the extent of s1OO 600. One man
was seriously injured.
The fire is believed to be of incendiary
origin, as 1t was the third that started
in the building within a few hours. The
first was discovered at o'clock in the
afternoon in the basement of the build
ing, the second an hour later and the
tkird at the hour above named. The last
fire started on the fourth floor in a store
room which was filled with paper and
other combustible material of little value
The location of the fire made ii a difficult
one to fight.
The loss on the building is estimated at
$4,000, furniture $4,000 and on plans, in
strCments and ether apparatus of the
Board of Public Works SIS 900. The insur-
ance is $4,000 on the building and $4,000 on

REDDING, Nov. 3O.-One of the most
remarkable cyclones recorded in Northern
California occurred last evening in Happy
Valley, ten miles southwest of Reddlng.
The path of destruction barely missed a
farm house and the striking point of the
hurricane looks much like the site of Il
powder works after an explosion.
The rain slackened toward dusk and a
single black cloud foated over the valley.
1t parted and one section began to revoly e
itself into a great black funnel, which
presently began to move with great rapid.
ity. The peculiar shrieking sound fright
ened the people at adjacent farm houses.
The funnel shot toward the house of Rev.
G. w. Burtner, sweeping so close above
1t that wooden fruit trays and light ium-
ber were drawn up by the suction.
The spiral cyclone touched in the
orchard hundred yards beyond the
house. The ground was torn up as by a
terriflcsexplosion and large trees were Lp-
rooted. The cyclone soon spent itself in
the woods.

A NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.
WONDERFUL HYOMEI
LUCKY MANUFACTURERS.

Physicians can now look forward to the
coming winter without any fear or anxiety
regarding the thousands of weak-lunged
and catarrh afflicted patients under their
care.
Facts furnished by the Bureau of Vital
Statistics in Washington have proven be-
yond the least shadow Of doubt that con-
sumption Is durable, that all respiratory
diseases can be eradicated completely and
the death rate reduced wonderfully by the
use of the new remedy, HYOMEI.
HIoMEI is dry air germicide found
in Australia, the first one ever known
which can be inhaled in the air we
breathe. the only possible method by
which the germs of these diseases can be
reached
