THINKS GIRL A SUICIDE.
States Attorney Weant Gives His
Opinion.

After making a thorough investi-
cation of the death OF Lula Alr1lg,
the 22-year-old daughter Of John II.
Airing, OF Bruceville, States Attorney
Edward o. Weant said in recent
interview:
From the evidence in my posses
sion, do not believe that Bohn fore
ed the girl to drink the laudanum.
I am or the opinion that she did SO
on her own volition. 4 think that
Bohn tells the truth when he says
they entered into suicide pact, but
don't believe he attempted to end
his own life and that he only led
the girl to believe that he intended
to die with her.
We'll, as the case now looks, it
seems that the charge OF murder will
have to be changed to that of his
being an accessory to the girls sui
eide. He will be prosecuted and the
grand jury will hear the evidence
r havU gathered in an effort 20 con
vict him, if he is guilty, of encourag-
ing suicide"
Bohn asserts that the girl herself
purchased the laudanum which she
drank, while he also bought several
drams Of the poison which he swal-
lowed to end his life and make good
his p> omise that he would die with
her
1t was after an alteration Mon
day morning with her father that
Miss Airing left home. Mr.. Airing
struck a. son with a broomstick. She
scolded him for this and, according
to the story she told Bohn, the faith
er ordered her from the house.
The parents Of Miss Airing declare
they did not illtreat her and that
she had no reason 70 leave home.
Mrs. Airing said:
I'VE were fond OF her. we knew
that Bohn has wife living in Wash
ington. IT, always spoke OF divorc-
ing her, but do not think he had
enough money to do So"
Bohn and his wife have been sep
arated for four years, and since that
time he' had been paying attention to
Miss Airing. He is in the Westmin-
ster Jail.
