GIVES DEFENSE
OF MRS. BONNIE
What Is Expected to Be Shown
BY Her Counsel.
WILL TRY TO PROVE STRUGGLE
CLAIM THAT YOUNG AYRES HAD
BEEN INTOXICATED.

Washington, Nov. S0-The govern
ment today closed its case in the trial
of Mrs. Lola IDA BONNIE for the killing
Of James Seymour Ayrcs. jr., and At
torney Keene, Of counsel for the de-
Tense, made z preliminary statement
in behalf Of Mrs. Bonnie. It was evil
dent from Keene's statement that eff
fort WIN be made to show the lack of
motive for the crime on the part of
Mrs. Bonine and to support her plea
that Ayres was killed in a struggle
after ne rad tried to intimidate her
with q revolver.
The principal witness on the stand
TO-DAY was Professor Shaefer, a chemist,
who made a microscopical examination
of the wrapper worn by Mrs. BONNIE 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 occasion.
Another witness of the day was
Ayres' father, who told of an inter
view he had had with Mrs. Boine three
or four days after the killing. He out
lined his efforts to arouse her sym
pathy, but said that she did not re-
spond.
Mrs. Bonine's Defense
After hecess, Attorney Keene, Of
counsel for Mrs. Bonnie, made the pre-
| liminary statement. outlining the de-
Tense. He contended in the beginning
for due consideration of the presump-
ton of innocence. This, he said. was
evidence, not mere formality. It was
not the purpose of the defense to min

was charged, for it Eas undeniabIe that
the tragedy had fallen heavily upon
two families.
Many guests Of the Kenmore were to
be introduced, said Mr.. Keene, and he
believed it would be shown that the
character of the people living there
was good. Mr.. Keene called attention
to the fact that Mrs. Boine 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 several young men to dance.
Ayres Was Intoxicated.
In December a dance of more than
ordinary importance had been given
and young AyTes had appeared there
so much intoxicated that he was Of
fensiye to those in attendance and Mrs
BONNIE 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, Mr.. Keene said It would
be shown that in getting up the dances,
Mrs BOine HAD visited the rooms of
all persons, regardless of sex or age
who could dance, to get them to par
/ ticipate. 1t would also be shown that
Mrs. Bonnie was fond Of medicine and
that this fondness had served her in
ministering to the sick and she did visit
many of them
Another point which would be de-
velOped was that the relation between
Ayres and Mrs. BONNIE was not such as
to cause them 10 feel unwilling to
break them.
Beproached Him For Drinking.
Proof would also be given that on
March I Mrs. Bonnie had reprOved
Ayres for drinking, and meanwhile
some cOIdness resulted. but it would

Held Up Until it is In
VeStigated.

The effort Of the people Of Uintah

mineral lands in the Indian reservation
and thus defer the opening Of that part
of the state to sediment and mining
has already been productive Of success,
in so far as bringing the assurance
from Washington that the lease engl-
neered by Agent Myton and his as
sociates win not be approved before
the matters involved are at least in
yestigated, Yesterday Governor Wells,
whose cooperation in the opposition
had been enlisted by the Uintah county
people on Friday, received advices from

How e BRIBED JuRIEs.

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-FOrmer Bailif
James Lynch, the confessed jury briber
who, with Alex. Sullivan, an attorney,
was indicted for conspiracy. took the
stand in Judge Smith court today and
Immediately launched into a story of
juries which he said he had bribed in
behalf of Sullivan.
Sullivan, Lynch testified, w4s attOr-
ney for the West Chicago Street Rail-
way company and represented the COM
pany in defending damage suits. He
said he talked frequently with SuIli-
van in regard to bribing Juries-
Sullivan told ME" said Lynch,
whenever possible to get hold of an
Irish Catholic on the jury and to tell
min that the plaintiff was an A. p. A.
and that he should be beaten, as he
was an enemy Of the church. The
sums paid jurors ran from $50 to 500.
Sometimes I bribed one and in some
cases as high as three. I was paid the
same amount as the juror, but when
there was more than one man TO be
bought. I was paid less per man.
can you recall where Sullivan paid
you the money for your work?" As
sistant States Attorney Barnes asked.
Yes, in the county building hall, in
his Office, and once. remember, in the
judges chamber when the judge was
out"
Counsel for Sullivan attempted to
have Lynch's testimony confined strict
~ to direct evidence of a conspiracy,
but they were Overruled. It is al
legged that Sullivan and others con-
spired to keep Lynch out of the jul
risdiction of the Cook county courts
following exposure of the bailiff.
