GRAND JURY FINALLY
INDICTS mrs. BONNIE,
She Is Held Responsible for Kill.
ing James Seymour Ayres in
His Room at Kenmore Hotel.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. July 12-The Grand Jury
this afternoon reported an Indictment for
murder against Mrs. Lola Ida BONNIE, hold
ing her responsible for the killing of James
Seymour Ayres. Jr., on May Ii, while the
parties were in the room assigned to
Ayres at the Kenmore Hotel.
The Grand Jury holds that Mrs Bonnie
feloniously. willfully and OF her malice
killed young Ayres
The reporting of the Indictment against
Mrs. BONNIE was attended with as much
| interest as was manifested the day the de-
PENDANT appeared in court. seeking release
| on bail. OF course. she was not present to-
day. although Attorney Fulton of her
| counsel was among the spectators
At the opening Of the fall term of the
| court, next October, a date will, probably
be fixed for the trial Of Mrs. Bonnie under
the indictment.
Mr.. BONNIE when seen this afternoon,
| said that both he and his wife are very
much disappointed by the action of the
| Grand Jury. although they have been told
! all along by their counsel to expect an IN
| dictment
| In regard to the coming trial, Mr. BONNIE
said 1t was matter they had not yet con-
! sidered. They had been awaiting the action
Of the Grand Jury He commented on the
length OF time 1t had taken that body to
consider the evidence. and said he could
| not tell what move would be made next by
| the defense whether or not an early trial
| would be asked for, or any other detail.
The only comment as to how Mrs Bonine
received the news of her indictment was
that she was greatly disappointed.
This afternoon Attorneys Douglas and
Fulton. OF counsel for Mrs. BONNIE, stated
they were decidedly Of the. opinion that
there was not sufficient evidence upon which
to base an Indictment and that II 1t took
the Grand Jury six weeks to pass upon the
question Of her probable guilt there was
reason to believe that. when her side OF
the case is fully presented. her acquitta
must follow.
The chances are that counsel for Mrs
| Bonine will demur to the Indictment rem
| dered to-day before the case comes I,
| trial. on the ground that the Grand Jur,
| reporting the bill was not constituted &C
| cor(1ing to law.
Before the Grand Jury was excused to
| day 1t was stated in open court that Juro
Steele had accepted a position under tn
Government.
Justice Hagner thereupon excused MI
Steele from further service. ON the grount
that he was ineligible for jury service, be
| ing an employe of the Government.
Counsel seem to think that II Mr.. Steel
was ineligible under the law for jury serv
| ice to-day. his Endorsement of the report o
the Grand Jury was also invalid.

One Of the principal features OF the MIS-,
sissippi exhibit at the St. Louis Fair Will
be textile manufacturing. During the past
two years there has been great boom In
cotton factory building. and within the next
few years nearly every town of 1900 popu-
lation and over will have at least one cotton
factory. with facilities adequate for the con-
sumption Of all the raw product grown In
that section. Some of the new factories are
now turning out a quality Of goods equal IN
the large Eastern mills. The cotton factory
boom promises to be greatly accelerated by
the establishment of the new textile school;
educating the youth of the State in the art
Of manufacturing cotton goods and the
management of factories.
Another interesting exhibit will be that
CT the timber resources. Mississippi is now
conceded to be the lumber center OF the
South. and 1t is estimated that the forests
OF the celebrated lons.leaI yeilow pme IN '.e
southern part of the State are sufficient to
furnish the entire world with this class of
timber for a century to come. The State also
has many varieties of hardwoods, which are
| being eagerly sought after by the large
manufacturing concerns OF the North and
East. and the price Of timber lands has ad-
vanced rapidly during the past year. while
the demand continues unlimited.
Already candidates are in the field for the
position Of Commissioner to the st. Louis
Exposition. and the names of quite a num-
hor of dtSffnUrfShed citizens have hpen SuX-

very likely that the place will be given to
some man who Is thoroughly familiar with

wealth. and liberal assistance will be given
him In the preparation of a fitting exhibit.
