 a Revolver IDENTIFY ONE IN COURT Testimony of the Chemist That There Were No Blood Stains On Mrs.
 Bonine's Wrapper Is
 Refuted.

Washington, December 3.-The case of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, on trial for the murder of James Seymour Ayrcs, Jr., is expected to go tu the jury the latter part of this week.
 Three witnesses-intimate friends of Ayres-were put on the stand today and swore that they had seen a revolver in Ayres' room. The wrapper worn by Mrs Bcnine on the night of the tragedy was again the subject of discussion, tho de- fense putting on the stand witnesses whose evidence was intended to discredit that given by pr. shaeffer, the govern ment expert, who had testified that a careful examination of the wrapper had blod spots thereon.
 The pistol with which Ayres was killed | at the Hotel Kenmore last May figured prominently in today's proceedings of | the case. Duncan B. Hubbard of Mount Clemens, Mich, who formerly lived at the Kenmore, testified that he had seen pistol in bureau drawer in Ayres' room and identified the weapon in evi- dence as being similar to it.
 Thomas Ford of Sanalac county. Mich, testified that while on a visit here last January Ayres had loaned him re- volver.

 The witness described the weapon in de- tail, and said that the one with which the killing was done closely resembled 1t, even to certain marks on the handle.
 J. P. Stevens also partially identified the one in evidence.
 A. B. BurlSley, a dyer and scourer, wasl called to refute the testimony of Dr. Shaeffer the expert who testified for the prosecution. He said it was a simple operation to remove blood spots from garments and that he had frequently done so in a manner to leave no trace of the spots.
 Witness also testified during the morn- ing session of the court to the dances given frequently at the hotel where Ayres and Mrs. Bonine were present and to the bloody finger marks on the window cur tain in Ayres' room.
 It Is thought the case will go to the jury Saturday.
 Wrapper Was Torn.
 Carl B. Flather etective testified re- garding the rents and tears in the wrap per worn by Mrs. Bonine on the night of the tragedy, and Dr. Sterling Rnffin de- tailed the various tests commonly em- ployed in determining the existence of blood spots. He had examined several specimens from the wrapper and had found distinct evidences of blood on the wrapper The wrapper was also torn The witness was still on the stand when court adjourned.

WHAT Mr.. BALDWIN REALLY SAID.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of the evening papers refer to certain
statements alleged to have been made by in re
spect TO tenement house matters. My statement
at Albany written down. and is also printed IN
the published report Of tho Committee of Fifteen,
follows:
Investigation has proved that large proportion
of the tenement house population, comprising the
vast majority of the population of the city is sub
ject TO the communicating presence Of prostitution
The actual condition is alarming The appeal for
help from respectable families. forced live under
the same roof with prostitution. is pathetic. and
demands immediate relief. In l25 tenement houses
which were examined by our agents. and in which
prostitutes were living. there were found in each
house, on an average twenty-four children under
the age Of eighteen years The committee, In col
lecting evidence which Will be utilized eliminate
prostitution from tenement houses the
legislation recommended by the Tenement House
Commission shall have gone into effect. proposes
unfnchingly to pursue its task until prostitution
IS wholly eXtirpated from tenement houses.
It has not been stated that the houses referred
10 were taken "at random" has any other
general statement been made except that the
prostitute in the tenement house pays a higher
rent, and that. therefore there is a premium to
the landlord TO rent to that class.
