yesterday closed, in continuing his address
to the jury, said that under the testimony
it was necessary for the jury to conclude
that Mrs. Bonine did not wear the now IA

room.

there was no blood on that wrapper, then
the defendant was pistol hand free-that
is, if she wore the wrapper. How could
that struggle have occurred as described
by Mrs Bonine without herself being del
uged with blood?'
Referring to the statement made by Mrs
Bonne to Mr.. Gardner the assistant
United States attorney again asked what it
was that could not be washed. 1t was not

later statement the wrapper had been

the speaker, that we had to place that

as true. That was the most extraordinary
statement that ever proceeded from the lips
of woman"
Mr.. Taggart repeated Mrs. Bonines re-
cital Of what occurred at the door of her
room, when the deceased. it is alleged, ap-
peared there early the morning of May rs.

proposals." demanded Mr.. Taggart mo.

she went because he was going away. and
seemed to be in the humor OF talking over
their differences. This after notice had
been served on her Of what she might ex-
Dect.
She dressed completely before going to
his room. Why? She says because she
wanted to show Mr.. Ayres that she was
a lady. She showed just the opposite by
even going to the room.
Mr.. Taggart contended that sin view Of
what occurred. we are forced to the con-
clusion that Mrs. Bouine's statement is a
clear Invention and nothing else"

The speaker went on to say that accord

to make any concessions to the Philip

countries but none to the Philippines,
