But there has been a motive established
by the defense for the Staying Of Ayres
and this motive justfes the homicide, and
hence no crime Of murder in any degree
has been committed. The defense stands
unimpeached in the motive it advances as a
solution for the death Of Ayres The state
has failed to advance or establish different
or a criminal one. OH yes, It has attempted
to do so, but its testimony does not sustain
nor corroborate its mere THEORY not
FACT, mind you, unbiased reader Hence
we repeat the defense has unnecessarily
prolonged this trial by submitting all the
past week corroborative testimony of
THEORY the government when IL closed had
failed to disprove
In the trial the past week much expert
as well as corroborauve testimony was in
troduccd by Mrs Bonine's counsel sustain

had her in It's power and being iu position

sired IL was now unnecessary to again sub
iect her TO the intcrrogations of the prose
Cution. She had made a statement TO the
government TO Detective Horn, and the
governments legal representatives; by that
statement she would stand or fall To
three different persons she related the incl
dents Of the tragedy. She had told her
story, let the government make the most
of il, but she would not again be subjected
TO the interrogatories Of the prosecution.
MI Douglass has taken the correct posi-
tion in behalf Of his client, and the prosecu-
uon is in the air, for no doubt Mr. Gould
had profted by the developments of the
trial and if he now had a chance 10 cross
examine Mrs Bouine, he would do 1t more
effectively than when her statement was
FIRST made Of the killing after her arrest.
The government during the past week ex-
hibited more feeling and gingered up con-
siderably Mr. Gould was especially ag-
gressive and determined, but Mr.. Douglass
gave him a Roland for his Oliver from
