WITNESSES ON THE STAND

Inc nappleSt persons about the city hall
were the jurors, who welcomed the re-
sumption Of the case as a relief from the
monotony of yesterdays Imprisonment in
their room. The holiday rest seemed to have
had rejuvenating effect on Mrs. Bonine.
Her face fairly beamed when she entered
the court room and took her accustomed
seat near her counsel. Her husband had
been with her in the cage down below, as
has been his custom every morning since
the trial began, but the defendant seemed
glad to see him again so soon for she
shook his hand cordially and then entered
into earnest conversation with him for sew
eral minutes.
Mrs. Bonine's brother and sister sat i'm
medlately back of her, and they evinced
the deepest interest in the testimony Oc-
casionaily the defendant turned to one or
the other and whispered. She herself
watched closely the proceedings, and often
prompted her counsel for questions during
the croSs-examination. The Bonine lads
who have been with their mother every
day, Were not present at the morning ses-
sion.
The crowd that sought admission to the
court room was greater than at any pre-
vious day, prompted no doubt by the belief
that Court Crier Joyce might again be in

Reading Statements.
Mrs. Bonine paid the closest attention
during the reading of the stenographic re-
port of her statement made to Maj Sylves-
ter on May II. This was the first time this
statement has been made public District
Attorney Gould faced the jury and read in
ordinary tones. There was a craning. of
necks and straining Of ears on the part of
the spectators. When the district attorney
came to an answer of Mrs. Bonine's telling
or Ayres' paying attention to a young Wo-
man In Washington, he turned to Attorney
Douglass and asked If 1t were necessary to
read the name. Mr. Douglass said If was
not, and the name was not read
There was much whispering and seeming
speculation as to the identity of the young
woman. The defendants manner did not
change in the least as her answers feign
ing no knowledge Of the young mans deafh
contradlcted by later confession, were
read. The reading of both statements oc-
cupied more than an hour

morrow morning. saying he had several
witnesses who could not be brought into

DR.. GlazebroOlS Continues,
When court convened this morning DR..
L. W. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner, who
was on the stand when the adjournment
was taken Wednesday, was recalled by the
government for redirect examination. Mr.
Gould first asked the witness in relation tn
the stenograhper's report Of his testimony
and DR.. Glazebrook made one or two cor
rectionS.- In describing the course OF the
bullet in the chest wound he had indicat ted
the direction as left when it should have
been right"
The United States attorney then called
the witness attention to his testimony IN
regard to the bruises found on the lower
limbs of the defendant, which, the witness
had declared on cross-examination could
possibly have been caused by a heavy body
falling against her, and asked him If he
could not assign more probable reason for
these bruises. The witness answered that
the fact that the defendant was clothed
would affect the degree Of probability of
the bruises being received as indicated in
his cross-eXamination and he thought thew
could be caused by a person. climbing in
or out Of a window. or up or down a fire
escape If there was slip or fall.
The ScrapingS on the lower limbs of
Ayres, in the opinion of the witness, could
have been caused by rubbing against
trunk, for instance, If the limbs were bare
Ine witness aQmltteQ that the ScrapinPS
on Ayres' legs might have been caused by
French heel slippers-that Is, IL there had
been a considerable struggle between Ayres
and the party wearing the slippers and the
heels had ascended as high as Ayres' knees.
DR.. Glazebrook further testified that the
bruises on Mrs. Bonine's lower limbs WERE
more likely received by scrambling over a
trunk or out a window than by an object
telling on them. The bruises on Mrs. Bo-
mines arms could have been caused by the
arms being firmly gripped.
Mr.. Gould asked IL a man with revolver
IN his hand could have gripped the arm Of
the defendant and caused such q bruise as
the defendant bore. DR.. Glazebrook seplied
in the negative.
Detective Horne Testines.
There was stir Of expectancy when Mr..
Gould called Detective Sergeant Edward
Horne to the stand. After stating that he
has heen member Of the police force for
twenty-five years, the witness stated that
he first met Mrs Bonnie in her room at
the Kenmore Hotel. the 18th Of May. Her
demeanor was cool, and she denied having
any knowledge Of how the tragedy oc-
CURED. The witness asked Mrs Bonfne
about scratch on her finger She said
she did not know how it was received. He
then inquired what skirt she had worn the
