where, as stated in yesterdays Star, she
repeated her story and examined at
length by Major Sylvester. In the office
of Major Sylvester Mrs. BONNIE appeared a

Prisoners Name and Age Taken.
Before leaving police headquarters the
prisoners name was taken as Lola Ida
BONNIE, and her age was given as thirty-
four years. A charge of murder was pre-
ferred against her, and Detective Horne's
name was recorded as the officer making
the arrest. The prisoners maiden name
was Lola Ida Henry, and she was born In
Macon, No. Her father was a deputv
in the line of duty. From her native town
she went to Hamilton in the same state
and later she lived at Richmond, Kan. :
Brunswick, Ga; Columbus, Ohio, and So
rano, Fla. Her husband owned an orange
plantation in Florida. and while living
there she became expert at handling a re.
volver. Living on the plantation the hus-
band thought it necessary for his wife to
be able to defend herself from a possible
attack by burglars. On one occasion it is
stated, she actually fired at burglars.
When Mr.. BONNIE returned to the hotel
yesterday afternoon he went directly TO
his ROOM where he was soon Joined by
his two boys. He sat in his room appar-
entity almost lifeless while the innocent
children played about him utterly unable
to understand the sudden change that had
come over him. Several times they in
quired if their mother had come and finally
they showed signs of impatience. Going
downstairs of them inquired: Has
mamma come back YETI" and the ques-
ton brought tears to the eyes Of some of
the ladies who were in the lobby. A little
later on the boys were told the truth and
when Lieutenant Moore went to the room
he found them weeping.
Mr.. Bonne took the boys to the house of
detention to see their mother, and the
meeting was an affecting one. They re-
manned only short time, and later, as

the detective said to the woman's husband
he was sorry to meet him for the first
time under such trying circumstances.
The husband had business to transact
and as it was then about 1880 O'clock De-
tective Horne accepted the wife's invitation
to accompany her to a lunch room. To-
gether the detective and the woman went
to the Royal Blue lunch room on c street
opposite the Baltimore and Ohio depot, the
detective taking a seat at the table, from
where he could watch every move of the
woman and study her face while she was
cCnversing. steak was ordered. with
bread, butter and milk. and soon after Mrs.
BONNIE started in to enjoy what was set be-
fore her Detective Horne turned to her
and said: "Now, my little woman. you
know about this affair, and while it is all
right for you to make a denial, | want you
to tell me what you know about it
When Will This Cease.
Pushing aside her steak in a disguised
sort of a way, the little woman" as the
detective addressed her, asked when will
this cease"
when we get the woman who murdered
tho man." Detective Horne responded, land
were going to get her"
why do you think it is a woman Mrs.
BONNIE wanted to know.
The detective then told her Of Mr.. Ba-
kers having seen a woman on the hotel
fire escape. and. knowing Mr.. Baker he
did, he was certain he could not be mis-
taken.
Mrs. Bonine's conduct indicated she had
a burden to remove from her, and after
swallowing a portion of the milk, she SuS-
geSted that the officer go with her across
the street to the depot III order that she
might mail a letter. The letter was mailed
and the couple then started to return to
the hotel, walking along the north side of
G street to escape the curious bystanders
who had remained out late watching every
move made by the detectives and those who
were under suspicion of being able to
throw some light the case.

thing tonight that would assist me to UNI

ideas and a thought and l would like to
tell You, but how would it benefit you?'
It was these ideas and thoughts the de-
teCtive told her that would assist him
in the investigation. He explained that
he would derive no benefit from anything
doing his duty in a case in which the
whole city was interested and would sat
isfy his superior officers.

ney Gould was summoned from the inquest
to the lower floor to hear what she had to
say, the crowd in and about the station
knew nothing of what was going on until
some time after Mrs. Bonine reached police
headquarters to be interviewed by Major
Sylvester and Inspector Boardman of the
detective corps. These officials had inter-
viewed her previously. just after the dis
covery of the murder, when she entered a
vigorous denial and made so good a show
ing that She puzzled the chief and his as
SiStant.
To Detective Horne belongs the credit for
the arrest and confession of the woman.
Her admission was brought about by the
manner in which the detective had treated
her. Detective Horne went to the hotel to
make an investigation of the case a short
time after Inspector Boardman learned
from reporters that the crime had been
committed. He suspected that Mrs. Bo-
nine was the guilty party, as did some of
the other detectives. Horne insisted that
she was the only one who had a hand in
the killing. Believing this the officer had
a lengthy interview with her Wednesday
morning. when she asserted she was inno-
cent and offered to submit to a searching
investigation. Bureau drawers and the
wardrobe were opened, and the detective
and others who were present were told by
the woman that she would assist them in
their efforts to apprehend the SLAYER of the
young man.
The Detectives Policy.
Detective Horne made UP his mind that
he would put himself in the woman's way
as much as possible. hoping he would
finally be rewarded by important develop
ments. On the occasion of the first in
terview he noticed scratch on her hand
and bruise ner knuckle. She was
asked to account for the injuries, which

ton to those in the lobby that he had ac-
companed Mrs Bonine at the latter's re-
quest. Each said good night to the other,
and the woman's parting words were: TN
See you in the morning.
Detective Horne went home late that
night a little disappointed, although he was
still satisfied that the prediction he had
made the day the crime was commit ed
would come true.
His Sunday night experience was related
to his superior officers and yesterday
morning when he went to the sixth pre-
cinct station he felt confident that Mrs
Bonine would tell all before the adjourn
ment Of the inquest for the day. He made
no effort to hurry her, but permitted her
to remain in the room with other women
witnesses until just before 1t was time for
her to be called to explain to the jury
what she knew. The days ordeal had been
trying one, and she seemed relieved when

by a White Hunter Who Took

RED MEN BELIEVE

White Hunters Being Warned of

Exodus is ExpectEd-Name of

Marlnette, Wis, Nov. 1S.It is
learned from Supt. John Burke of the
Peshtigo Lumber Co. that there is
great excitement among the Indians at
the headwaters of the Eagle River. in
the northern part of Marinette county,
over the disappearance of one of the
tribe, who has been missing for a
week.
Charles Keshena, one of the best
known Indians in that part Of the
country, appeared at one of the Pesh-
tigo Companys camps on Saturday
and said that his brother Indians were
greatly excited over the disappearance
of one of their tribe and declared that
he was killed by some white hunter
who shot him by mistake, taking him
for a deer They are searching every
where for the body and If 1t shall be
found it may go hard with some of
the white hunters in that locality
The Indians firmly believe ne was
murdered by a white man and are de-
termined on vengeance. The name of
the missing Indian is not known. The
Indians are of the Menominee tribe and
have a small settlement on the Eagle
River.
Keshenas story created considerable
alarm and all the white hunters in that
locality are being warned as rapidly as
possible 1t is probable that there will
be a general exodus as soon as the eX-
citement among the Indians shall be-
come known. The Eagle River region

1.-TWO LITTLE WAITS"
PLEASE AT L0THR0PS

Two Little WATTS" probably the best
of Lincoln ]. Carriers many dramas, is the
attraction at Lothrop's Opera House this
week, and to judge by the applause last
night this promises to be another record
breaking week at that house. The play is
full of those features which have made
Mr. Carriers plays famous - sensational
Incidents, coupled with plenty of heart in
terest. The piece tells the story of two
women, twin sisters, the one gentle
loving woman, deserted by her husband
and the other scheming adventures
with a heart all bad. These two charac-
tiers are played by one woman, Helene
Carroll, and some of the changes she has
to make are marvellous in their rapidity.
The two little waits from whom the play
takes its name are children of the first
sister, and it is their fortunes that the
piece follows. There is plenty of comedy
to relieve the heavier parts, and num-
Der of strong scenic effects are given.
Stanley and Lolita Lamb, who play the
parts of the two children. do extremely
good work, far different from the usual
style of child acting, and they We're ap-
plauded time and again last night. The
entire company is capable, and the play is
well worth seeing.

Demand Much Larger Sum for
Miss Stones Release Than is
at the Command Of the United
States Agent
ALSO ASKS IMMUNITY
FROM PROSECUTION
The Captive Somewhat Affected
by Her Continual Confinement
and Hard Fate, but Expresses
Herself as Still Confident of
Ultimate Release

Sofia Nov. 1s.-Another letter has
been received from Miss Ellen M.
Stone. Her health has been somewhat
affected by her continual confinement
and hard fare, but she expresses her
self as still confident of ultimate re-
lease.
A letter to Mr.. Dickinson, diplomatic
agent of the United States at Sofia, re-
plying to his proposals concerning a
ransom. says the brigands will hold
out for figure very much above the
sum at Mr. Dickinson's Command.
The brigands interpret Mr.. Dickin-
sons not having fixed on the sum he
is willing to pay and on a time limit
as being indications that he can get
more money. They also demand i'm
munity from prosecution. But it is i'm
possible for the diplomatic agent of the
United States here to have power to
bind the governments of Bulgaria and
Turkey. This point, however, is not
likely to be a serious obstacle in the
way of the negotiations.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-Another cable
gram received from United States
Consul General Dickinson from Sofia,
today, indicates that while Miss Stone
has not yet been ransomed there is
reason for feeling treasured as to her
future. The dispatch furnished evil
dence that Mr.. Dickinson remains in
indirect communication with the bril-
gands or their agents.
