The applause Of the spectators was
instantly suppressed by the loud cries
Of SILENCE! silence!" and we awak-
ened into full consciousness at the
second repetition Of the cry We had
not been asleep two seconds! Yet in
that interval Of time we had arisen
from our seat, walked forward TO the

iointed address quoted! How marvel

Our only regret in being awakened
Dy the cry Of "Silencel" waF that the
court crier had not postponed his ad.
monition until the jury had found and
returned its verdict!
After the close Of the case by the
government yesterday, Attorney Keene,
forthe defense, addressed the jury The
defense will establish, said Mr. Keene,
that a bloody hand raised the curtain
from the inside Of Ayres' room, and
that the hand was Mrs Bonine's; that
the powder marks on the decease tend
ed to support the contention of the de.
fense; that reputable physicians would
testify that the wounds received by
Ayres could have been inflicted as
claimed by the defense
"Who owned that pistol?" inquired
Attorney Keene. "That is prObabaly
the most vital point Of the case. We
will establish that in December Of last
year. Ayres showed this identical pistol
to a man who will appear as a witness;
that last Femruary he loaned a loaded
pistol, that answers the description Of
this one, for a week or more; that
last March a pistol was seen in the
drawer Of his bureau. and that a few
days prior to the tragedy he procured
some coal oil with which to clean his
pistol.
No motive could have inspired Mrs
Bonine to murder Ayres," concluded
Attorney Keene
At 2.30 o'clock, at the request of At

A Beautiful Female Treasury Clerl
Goes Insane.
UNRECIPROCATED AFFECTION
II is Alleged is the Cause, and Some Un-
authenticated Rumors Which tho Globe

10 New York and LeaYes Her al tho Hos
pltaI but Falls 10 Leave Any Address.

Miss Catherine Giers, a handsome
young lady employed In the Treasury
Department, has become insane over a
love affair. She was taken to New
York city the past week to the home
Of her sister, Mrs. Lee Crandall, but
her mania becoming violent she was
transferred to St. Francis hospital
in that city wneTe she is at present.
Inquiry among her late associates
ELECTED some facts, which being un-
able to sufficiently authenticate The
Globe declines to print.
Should the young lady recover her
normal condition Of mind there may he
an official investigation into some Of
the allegations made.
Miss Gier is a handsome young lady
and was exceedingly popular among
those with whom she associated
Our New York advices says that:
::Though Of slight build she devel-
oped tremendous strength, and in the
ride up Avenue the ambulance sur
geon and a policeman had to sum-
mon the aid of two citizens to keep
her in the wagon.
Her sister, Mrs Lee Crandall, Of
this city, had just brought her up
from Washington and had not the
slightest difficulty with her on the trip
nor in getting her to the room pre-
pared for her at st. Francis,
But Mrs. Crandall had hardly left,
after promising to call this morning,
than the girl broke into a frenzy that
a. the attendants could quiet
At the Insane pavilion it was said
that her insanity was of the lysterical
form most often developed by brood
ing over disappointed love.
Mrs. Crandall did not leave hef ad-
dress at st. Francis and no notification
could be sent to her"
There are some who doubt the re.
lationship Of the lady who left Miss
Gier a tSt. Francis and who insist
that she Is not her sister, but The
Globe believes all such informants are
mistaken and that Mrs. Lee Crandall
is sister OF the unfortunate young
lady and gave her correct name to
