The statements of the witness caused
some laughter. Justice Anderson there
upon gave warning that should the laugh
ter be repeated he would have the court
room cleared.
Mrs. BONNIE Ordered From Room.
Mary Grayson. colored who en-
ployed at the Kenmore. was the next wit

testified, she was in Ayres' room cleaning
his bed. Ayres was there and Mrs. Bonne

IT was other people who said it,
Later, in the hallway, Mrs. Bonine said
to the witness. Did he say anything" The
witness replied in the negative. Mrs Bon
inc then explained to the witness that
Mr. AyIes was mad with her because he
thought she had told people in the office
and around that he drank; but that she
had not circulated such report.
But don't say anything about it Mrs
BONNIE remarked to the witness, so the
latter testified.
The witness, on cross-examination, stated

Result of Experiments.
When the proceedings were resumed after
recess. Mr.. GlaZebrook again took the
stand and described the experiments he

concluded that the bullet that caused the
wound in the arm was fired from dis

TO the wound in the arm than any of the
other cloths. The pistol, so the witness
concluded. was within eight inches of the
breast when the bullet that caused the
wound there was fired.
According to DIR. Glazebrook the muzzle
of the pistol was probably in contact with
the sleeve of the shirt that was burned
when the bullet that caused the wound in
the chest was fired, the arm being appraised
at the time.
