BONINE DISPLAYS EMOTION WHEN BLOOD-STAINED SHIRT IS SHOWN Washington Police Relate Circumstances of the Mysterious Murder of James Seymour Ayers Jr. at Kenmore Hotel. ASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Five witnesses were heard ‘to-day in the trial of Mrs. Ida Bo- nine for the murder of James S. Ayers Jr. Four of these witnesses were policemen who had gone to Ayers’ room after discovery of the body by employes of the Kenmore Hotel, and i{he fifth was W. W. Warfleld, who was proprietor of the hotel at the time of the tragedy. The policemen testified to details of the wounds, position of the body and arrangement of the furniture in the room. Mr. Warfleld's testimony was very brief. In response to a question by Attorney Fulton of Mrs. Bonine's counsel he said that Mrs. Bonine had made arrangements to leave the hotel be- fore the tragedy occurred, but both. the question and answer were subsequently ruled out.

Three wounds were found unon the body, one being in the breast, another in the arm and a third in the thigh. The bed looked, Brady said, as if some one had lain in it and_had got up, throwing the cover back. There was only one indentation in the pillow. The w ness sald that a pistol and a small single- barreled shotgun lay on a trunk in the room and that the barrel and the cham- | bers of the pistol were covered with blood. The pistol was exhibited to Brady and identified by him. There was a pool of blood, the witness said, on the floor. Blood stains were also on the window sill-and baseboard and on the rocker. On a table in the room there were nine cartridges lying loose. The gas was burning when he entered the room, but was turned low. The lower sash of the one window in the room was up as far as it could go. The string on the window shade was covered with b)g&d as if it had been drawn through bloody fingers.

The sight of the garment ap- parently affected the prisoner more than | any preceding incident in the course of the trial. On cross-examination Officer Brady said a boy had first notified him of the tragedy. Mrs. Bonine's oldest son was told to stand up and Lawyer Douglass asked the witness if he was the messenger. The witness failed to identify him. He had rot noticed any finger prints on the pistol he found in the room. - The blood on the handle was unappreciable in quantity. He had, however, discovered what he Le- lieved to be finger-prints on the window- sill. The detached piece of the window- sill was exhibited and identified by thne witness, who said the blood stains were more distinct on the morning of May 15 than now. Brady said in reply to other questions by Douglass that the loose pistol ca caliber, the same as those found in the revolver. In that weapon there were three loads and three empty shells. He said the bed as shown in the photographs of Ayers’ room was much more disordered than when he first went to the room, but he did not know who had disturbed it be- fore the photograph was made. Douglass brought ouf the fact that the top button- hole of Ay§rs’ undegshirt was torn out. Shot at Close Range. Brady was excused and Policeman Ful- ton Wolfe was called. He had entered the building with Officer Brady. His testimony covered much the same ground as that of the preceding witness and was largely corroborative of it. The pictures of the room, he said, showed a number of articles on the floor which were not there at the time. He had seen no hairpins on the floor. Policeman Willlams was called. He corroborated the statements of his brother officers. He also said that blood- stains on the pistol indicated that it had been grasped around the chambers by a bloody hand. The witness sald he had discovered no evidence of any struggle. He made a reply In the negative, as Officers Brady and Wolfe had done, when asked if he had discovered any hairpins on the floor. On cross-examination he said he had noticed the torn condition of the upper buttonhole of Ayres' shirt and he added | am using Wine of Cardul and Thedford's Black-Draught and | feel like a ditferent woman already. |am GIRLS Batesville, Ala., July 11, 1900, going to continue using your medicines and am now advising every suffering woman to use them. “Several ladies here k the medicines in their homes all the time. | have three girls and they are using it with me.

DEPRIVES I " OF IS RULER Governor Makes Things Interesting for Pitts- burg. Second Upheaval in Six Months Is Caused by Politics. PITTSBURG, Nov. 22.—For the second time within six months the city govern- ment of Pittsburg is about to undergo an entire change. Major A. M. Brown, appointed City Re- corder last April by Governor Stone, has been requested to step down and out by the chief executive of the State and J. O. Brown, Director of Public Safety under the old regime, will assume the duties of the office. The change in the Recorder’s office will be followed by the restoration to their old places of the one hundred or more city officials recently removed by Major Brown. The upheaval is the result of a fight for control of the city government which has been going on for nearly a year be- | tween the ‘“‘Stalwart” Republicans and the old Republican organization under the leadership of State Senator Willlam Flynn. The letter of dismissal from the Gov- ernor was received by Major Brown last night, and in the same maill came the notice to former Director J. O. Brown of his appointment. The new Recorder’s commission has not yet arrived and he will hardly take the oath of office before next Monday, as he cannot qualify until after the approval of his bond by the Governor. In the meantime the city will likely be leff without an executive head, for the reason that the Governor's notice of removal was effective upon receipt of it by Major Brown. ALASKAN INDIANG SIGHT A WAECK Find No Sign of Life Aboard Hulk of Schooner. Anxiety in Seattle Over the Non-Appearance of the John A. Liong. s VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 22.—The Juneau Dispatch of November 14 reports that the steamer Yukon arrived there, bringing word that Hoonah Indians came aboard the vessel in Glacier Bay and said they had seen the wreck of a schooner, with a boy’s jacket, a messbox and a jack- screw on the hulk. There were no signs of life, and it is believed all on board have perished SEATTLE, Nov. The long overdue steamer Elmore, thirty-five days out*from Nome, will reach port within the next few days. She is reported as having been spoken by the steamer Discovery on No- vember 12. For thirty-six hours previous to November 11 the Discovery had been windbound at Kyak. A flerce storm was raging, but apparently the Elmore weath- ered the blow in good shave. Some speculation is growing regarding the non-appearance of the schooner John A. Long, also from Nome. None of the recently returning craft from the north spoke the vessel south of Dutch Harbor. On October 5 the schooner was entering that port in distress, short of provisions and water. The vessel had ninety bas- sengers aboard, and while no grave fears are entertained for her safety it is be- belleved that some discomfort will result from the long voyage and the storms she encountered since leaving Dutch Harbor within two weeks after November 5. 2 ADVERTISEMENTS.
