likewise when he wanted
her to sign 1t.
Excuse me- she says to detectives,
who want Just a little more inrorma,
tion.
Nor would she go before the coroner s
jury. She seems to rather enjoy the
situation now, having recovered from
her depression of yesterday. II is
does it seem to be particularly un-
even contest
The detectives are trying to disprove
parts of her story thus far with very
little success. A negro has been
found, formerly an employe at the
Kenmore, who darby insinuates that
the revolver found in Ayre's room may
have been the property of Mrs. Bonine.
1t Is a Harrington u Richardson, with
frame and mechanism made for u 3S
calibre weapon, but with barrel and
cylinder of 81 size. The number of
the weapon is 2,5O1 aud the firm has
been asked to trace ii.
Mrs. Bonine's busbunu remains 10y
al TO her.
PLACED IN PRISON.
Mrs. Bonine was put in n prison cell
Tuesday, and will remain there await
ing trial.
The investigation by the Coroner's
jury was ended shortly after the noon
hour, and the verdict was that James
Seymour Ayres came to his death by
himself and Mrs Bonine. The jury
held the woman for action by the
grand jury.
No testimony of vital importance
was taken at the inquest, and n con
tinuaton of the inquiry was hardly
necessary IL ii were not believed that
certain other people in the hotel might
be able to throw light on the tragedy.
1t Is believed by many people that
Mrs. Bonine has not told the whole
truth, but has juggled the facts to
suit n good defense.
MRS. BONINE'S FRIEND.
Something Of importance was ex.
ppctcd when Miss Minas, whose room
adioincd and opened into Ayrcs' apart
mcnt, was placed on the stand. Though
this young woman broke down and
sobbcd for about seven minutes while
under fire she would not make any
statement that showed Mrs. BoninC
haG spoken falsely as to the shoot
| ing. She was sure the gronnS and
cries from Ayres' room came from
him and not from the woman. OF
course, Mrs. Bonine could not tell
the police that he, Ayres, hat
cried for help, for that would have
made her out the assailing party, wher
she was putting up the defense of hay
ing been attacked so she said yester
day In her confession that If any ont
had cried for help it must have beer
herself
Miss Minas said that she was con
iident the voice she heard was moi
that of Mrs. Bonine. But Miss Mina'
confessed TO the Coroner that she /:
II great friend of Mrs. Boniuc and tina
she did not want 10 condemn her
''l' 'Il''i ''ii''t7 '''N l''"'
of her testimony and was shortly af
lcrward excused.
TWO WOMEN IN 1T.
The more people In Washington tina
consider this case In the light OF ad
missions made by Mrs. Bonnc yester
day the more they believe that ther
were two women concerned in tn
tragedy. The suggestion Is that pei
laps Mrs. Bonine found another VIC
man in Ayres' room and that was tn
cause of the tragedy.
II Is granted ns most natural tina
the woman would make one for hel
self the best case possible In her cor
(cssion. But now that she made ac
missions she will not swear To then
