IS there room enough for man to con-
ceal himself behind it,"
Il don't think there is"
Mr. Could then produced the undershirt
worn by Ayres on the night of the tragedy,
a common. half-cotton affair, almost COW
cred with blood stains. There was an in
tense silence as the policeman and Mr..
Gould held up the garment and exhibited
it to the jury. The blood stains were
pointed out and identified. The holes in
the garment made by the bullets we're
shown and the burnt parts of thc shirt
were pointed out.
As the garment was being shown. At
torney Fulton leaned over to Mrs. Bonine
and engaged her in conversation until the
shirt was removed.
Policeman Brady recognized Chesleigh
Bonine. the son of the accused woman.
as the boy who had told him to go up
to the Kenmore Hotel.
Policeman Holton Wolfe. who accompa
MED Policeman Brady to the room, was
the next witness called. He corrobo-
rated all of the statements made by the
previous witness. He said that he found
no hairpins anywhere in the room.
On cross-eAamination by Attorney
Douglass, for the defence, Policeman
Wolfe said that the arrangement of the
furniture in the room differed in the
photographs from the way in which the
articles were placed when he first entered.
He said that there were two pillows
on the bed, one lying on top of the other.
There was but single indentation in the
top pillow.
Many BIoody Stains.
Policeman b. F. Williams. a little man
with a huge red mustache, said that
the revolver found on the trunk was
covered with bloody handprints. Some
blood had tricbled down the handle. On
the window outside there were blood
stains which looked to have been made by
some one dragging a bloody cloth over the
stone ledge. There were spots on the
hre-escape.
The Government offered in evidence two
photographs of the dead body. These
were passed over TO Attorney Douglass
for inspection. AS he studied them Mr..
Bonfne and Mrs. Meacham leaned over
and closely ScFutlnized them
Williams found no hairpins in the room
There was not a drop of blood anywhere
in the room between the door and the
body. The finger marks on the window
ledge pointed into the room. He identi-
ftsd the uEdershirt worn by the dead man,
and said that the upper buttonhole had
been torn open.
THE shot which hit him in the chest
was fired at very close range" Williams
around the wound"
Mr.. WarteId Called.
W. W Warfeid, the proprietor of the
Kenmore Hotel, described the building in
detail.
He gave the names of the occupants of
the various rooms on the fourth floor.
where the Bouine family occupied rooms s.
and 20. AIR. Bonine, he said, lived at the
hotel when he was in the city Ayres
had registered at the hotel June 2i, 1900.
Mrs. Bonine went to live there on Septem- ,
ber le, 1850. The witness could not iden-
iify the writing III which the entry was
made in the hotel register
Mr.. Gould emphasized the fact that there
was an electric push button on the waH
beside the door in Ayres' room
Under cross examination Mr. Warfeld
said that the windows of the hotel par
lors on the second floor were always left
open ct night for ventilation. He was
asked whether or not Mrs. Bonine had
made any arrangements to leave the no.
tel just prior to the tragedy.
Mr.. Gould Objects.
Il object to the question" said Mr..
Gould. 1T is not admissible"
Attorney Fulton made an argument in
which he said that the defence could
prove that the defendant had made ar
rangements with the witness to leave
the hotel. This, he said would refute the
Governments theory that the accused
had killed young Ayres because the latter
was about to leave her.
Justice Anderson refused TO permit the /
question to be asked.
Capitol Policeman J. Frank Drew, /
a large man with small voice that /.
could hardly be heard, said that his room 1
in The Kenmore was near that of Ayres. |
He described the condition OF Ayres /
room on the morning the body was dis
covered.
At 3:15 o'clock Justice Anderson sug-
gcsted that Ike examination be stopped
as he was ABOUT to adjourn court. The
attorneys on both sides held a consulta-
ton which resulted in an agreement that
the session be adjourned over today so as
to give them tine to review the evidence.
This was decided upon, and the session
was adjourned until Monday morning AZ
