fused to admit Mrs. Lola Ida Henry Boz
nine to bail and sent her back to jail to
await further action against her on the
charge of having killed James Seymour
Ayres, jr., in the Kenmore Hotel, May
16. 1t was held by Justice Barnard that,
whatever the form of the charges, Mrs.
Bonnie was accused OF homicide and
that no good purpose would be served
by releasing her from custody. The
court studiously avaided passing upon
the merit OF the case against Mrs. b.
nine or deciding the sufficiency OF the
allegations.
Mrs. Bonnie was taken to the City
Hall at about 2 O'Clock and was con-
Quoted at once to the private Office Of
the Uoited States Marshal. 10 spite OF
the efforts to keep secret the time Of
the hearing the court room rapidly
filed.
Mrs. Bonnie sat behind her attorneys,
Messrs. Charles A. Douglass and E.
Scott Dou glass, and between two bailiHs,
Mrs. Bonnie had the appearance OF
woman Ca the verge Of collapse and
looked 30 steadily on the floor that
most of the spectators could see only 0
large pink hat. Her face indicated q
severe mental strain-the color was un-
healthy and the eyes were red and
swollen % though she had been weep
iog. She wore dark tailor-msde skirt,
q plaid silk shirtwsist, with dark
jacket of fashionable cut, and large
spring hat.
On inquiry from Mrs. Bonine's coun-
sci Justice Barnard extended his de-
cision to announce that 1t was made
without prejudice to proceedings on q
writ of simple habeas corpus. 1t Is un-
derstood effort will be made by the
Messrs. Douglass today to have such
proceedings Instituted before Justice
Bradley.
At the close of the hearing Mrs.
BorIne was led to the Marshal's Office
aud then TO the carriage In which she
had come from the jail.
According to present plans the b.
nine case Ia TO be presented to the grand
Jury next Monday morning. II an In.
