Mrs. Bonine's Trial In Washington
of Great Interest,
THE STORY OF KILLING AYRES.
The ChII Mt By Ayr- at Tw O'clock
In the Morulne; Its Cue Mini Fatal
ICt'dultfi a the Woman T-ll Them lit-r
lluahaud'it Devotion.
On the morning of Wednesday, May
1." last, the city of Washington was
startled ly a mysterious murder, the
victim being a young ami popular clerk
In the census bureau, James Seymour
Ay res, '22 years old, from Port Austin,
Mich. His luitly was found lying on
the Hoor near the front window of bis
room, which opened on the lire escape.
There was only his undershirt on the
body. There were three wounds, one
in the right hip, one In the loft arm
Just below the shoulder and one In the
left side, the bullet that caused this
wound having entered the ldy and
pierced the heart, causing death within
a minute at the longest. One gas Jet
turned low was still burning. The cur
tain was up and the window open. The
curtain cord was stained with blood
and on the window sill was the Im
print of a bloody hand.
Circumstances led to suspicion of
Mrs. Lola Ida llemry Itonlne. a boarder
In the hotel and who had lccn very
friendly with the .murdered man.
When arrested she told this story of
Ayres' death:
"I reproved Mr. Ayres for drinking,
alKUit March 4, and he took offense at
my so doing. We did not speak and
had leen on bad terms from that time
until Wednesday morning.
"I had no watch or clock In my
room, but it must have been just be
fore 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning
when I heard a rap on my door, and
going to see who It was found Mr,
Ayres there. lie was apparently dress
til, but had his coat collar turned up.
lie told me that he was going to move
from the Kenmore the following day
and said he wanted to talk to me and
soo if we could not mend our dif
ferences, lie put his hand on my
shoulder in a friendly way and said he
did not want to go away with any 111
l'celin lie: ween us,
"Mr. Ayres wanted to come in my
room and talk to me, but I would not
let him, and then he said he felt ill.
as if lie was gvlng to have a chill, lie
asked me if 1 had any medicine which
would be good for malaria, and I re
plied that I iH'lieved I had some laxative-quinine
pills. I left him at the
door to look for them and went into
my little Ik.v's room, where I supposed
I would lind the medicine. It was not
there and I returned to the- door and
told Mr. Ayres that I could not lind it.
He then said again that he was sorry
we had ever had any falling out and
that I had been a friend to him. and
that he was sorry to leave the house
without our making up our differences.
"He asked mo to tunic over to his
room and talk over otir misunderstand
ing, and linaMy I said I would do so
as soon as I had dressed myself. He
then returned to his room and I put
on my clothing. I dressed completely,
except that I did not put on my cor
set. I slipped on a black and brown
wrapper, which the police have, and
put my feet Into slipicrs. Then I
started for Mr. Ay res' room.
"As I reached the door I put my
hand on the knob, but he opened it
from wUhln, and standing behind it,
admitted me to the room.
"As soon ns I was inside Mr. Ayres
pushed the door quickly closed, shot,
the bolt, and turned, facing me. In his
right hand he held a revolver, which
he pointed at me. He had only his un
dershirt on.
4 'Now, I guess you'll listen to me
lie said. I was startled, and stood fac
ing 1dm for a moment. Then he made
an Insulting proposition to me, and I
turned and made for the window,
thinking to get out on the fire escape
and get away from him. He followed
me nnd put his left hand over my
shoulder and tried to stop me. I strug
gled, and he put his right arm, with
the hand holding the pistol, around me.
too. I caught the pistol by the barrel
with my right hand, and we struggled
for a moment.
"Then there was a shit. I don't
know how many nor how fast they
were fired, but I felt a Hood of blood
pour over my shoulder, and Mr. Ayres
sank to the tlor. As he held mc I
had put up my other hand, and with
both clutched the barrel of the pistol.
When he fell my kick was toward
Mm. and his weight carried me down
forward with him, but his grasp re
laxed, and when I jumped up the pis
tol was In my hand. I put It on the
trunk, and the next thing I knew I wns
on the lire escape, just outside of Mr.
Ayres window. I don't know whefher
I looked back at him or not.
"I walked along the landing and
"went down the ladder, without hesi
tating. When I reaclMsl the veranda
nt the second floor I went In through
the parlor window to the hall and up
the stairs of the annex to my room.
I washed my hands and the wrapper!
and after awhile lay down on my IkM.'

Forty mounted guards began beating
tho country for five miles around the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven
worth Friday In search of the 2(1 con
victs who succeeded In escaping from
the guards late Thursday. The coun
try is wild and rough and affords am
ple opiortunity for escape, and as all
of the convicts are desperate men con
flicts will doubtless result before they
are captured. The escaped convicts
were counted the most desperate crim
inals In the southwest, and the guards
started out on their hunt In full real
ization of this fact. The scene of the
mutiny, however, being some distance
from the prison proper, the convicts
had secured a good start, nnd, aided
by the rough, wo'xled country, they
had, before darkness fell, placed a
good gap between themselves and
their pursuers. It Is iKdlcved all the
convicts will ultimately bo captured, If
not overtaken by tlie guards and shot.

regarding tho South African war: "I

to the war in which we are engaged.
Unlike the wars of former years, no
longer does the capture of the enemy's
capital and the dissipation of his field
force constitute a conclusive victory.
We are now confronted by a system
of guerrilla war which must be slowly
and effectively stamped out. We are
progressing slowly, perhaps, but steadi

"For a persistent, indofatlgabl-s ancf
positively tireless man, commend me
to President Roosevelt." remarked one
of the clerks of a New Yoric book store,
whose special duty Is as a searcher for
elusive titles. "When tho President
was writing his articles for tho 'Cyclo
pedia of Sport' he brought In here u
list of books that he said he must have,
and have right away. In about a week
I had managed to get together about
50 per cent of the lot, and turned
them over to him. lie was back the
next day on a still hunt for the rest.
I told h'm some were out of print, and
the rest books that no dealer regularly
carried In stock.
" 'Rut I must have them, every last
one of them, and I must have them
right away. Get a hustle on, my boy,
but don't you dare miss one of them.
X can't work without them.'
"I hunted high and low, only to be
stirred up at least once a day by Mr.
Roosevelt, who In somo way learned
the hour he was sure to find me at
the hour he was sure to find me at
on hand to give me a good-natured
prodding. At last I managed to get to
gether all the books he wanted, but for
a couple of weeks I had such a stirring
up as I had never before, and such a
one as I sincerely hope I may never
have again, though Mr. Roosevelt was
In the best of humor and good nature
fairly oozed from him when he was
pushing me In his most strenuous
fashion. He made a hustler of me for
Just one month for fair."
AN HONEST NAME.
An Illinois btalennan Tell a Good
Story Knew III Fnther's Soo
Would Not Mr.
The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chll
llcothe, member for the Twenty-fourth
District, State of Illinois Hou3a of
Representatives tells an Interesting
etory:
Some two years ago Mr. Merrill
gave a testimonial stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rhoumatlsm.
This with Mr. Merrill's portrait were
published In thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one clay last winter were
the Honorable Mr. Merrill and sev
eral other members. After a time
one of them said:
"Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted tho attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr.
Merrill and a scon as ho heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand eald:
"You are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. I was most dead with
Lumbago and In an advertisement I
saw your picture and your recommen
dation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew
your father, and I knew hl3 son would
not lie, and therefore I decldad to try
the Pills.
"I am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
P1113 and nothing else have saved my
life and I have been waiting this op
portunity to thank you personally, for
had I not seen your recommendation
I might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thanks to Gcd,
through your honest name and the
honest medicine which you so heart
ily recommended I am still alive.
"I have been watching you since
you got on the train at Springfield and
thought I recognized your face as the
one I had seen in the advertisement,
and as soon as. this gentleman called
you by name, I knew you were the
man I had to thank."
