B0N1NE TRIAL BEGINS The Woman Is Charged With Murder of Young Census Clerk. ENTERED HIS ROOM AD SHOT HIM. 'l Cause of the Cr'me Is Qivcn as Vic tim's Non-Attention to the Woman After a Perioj of Intimacy. Washington, Special. The trial of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, on the charge of killing James Seymour Ayres, Jr., was fairly launched Thursday. The preliminary presentation of the cas on behu, of cue feovciutiit was maao by Assistant District Attorney Hugh T. Taggart., and after he had con- ciuaea a number of witnesses were heard. Mr. Taggart's statement con sumed only about one hour and fifteen minutes and consisted for the most part of the review of the circum stances Conner! or! with tho trnffdU- Mr. Taggart stated the theory of the prosecution to be that Ayres was mur dered by Mrs. Bonine and that she trained arlmiRsinn tn iiio mnm in v Kenmore Hotel, through the window, reaching that by means of the fire es cape. He attempted to show that, she was piqued by his non-attention to her. Mrs. Bonine apparently was un moved by his presentations. Once or twice during the address she leaned over and Epoke to her attorneys. The witnesses of the clay did . not throw any new light upon the killing. In his address Mr. Taggart contended that there was a tie between the prisoner . and the dpurl rnnn in iVm fa of tint ... ..JVAA w 1A1U 111 I III. Ayres was a student of dentistry and sne nad studied medicine. As a conse quence she became a frequent visitor to his room at the hotel, where they both lived, not only in the day time, but at night as well, "and," he added, "therefore the door was not always open when she was there." Ho told of me quarrels uetween tnem, saying that Ayres ceased to speak to her and that she complained of his ingrati tude. "We expect to show," he said, "that while she de advances to him Ayres did not avail himself of the op portunity thus afforded, beyond danc ing with her again." He had danced with her on the night before the tragedy, but had Shown that he was averse to jl renewal of the former familiar intercourse. As an instance of hi3 attitude toward Mrs. Bonine. . Tlfr Ta o-a-n rf eniil trior A vrra Viarl vo. fused to accept a carnation from her on the Monday before the killing. It was, therefore, evident, said the Bpeaker, that while he was indifferent, there was a disposition on her part-to mollify him. "We will show," con tinued Mr. Taggart, "that every act, step, proceeding on the part of the prisoner was the act of a guilty per son." Mr. Taggart referred to Mrs. Bonirie's confession as being princi pally intended to exonerate herself. He thought the facts indicated the -shooting did not take place, as Mrs. Bonine said; that Ayres had not gone to her room at all, as she claimed. Outlining the government's position, Mr. Taggart said it would be contend ed that Ayres had retired when the person who killed him entered the room and that she came in through the window, that he arose and started toward nei ; mat sue snut, mm me max. wound being the fatal one in tho breast. Naturally his mouth had filled with blood and as naturally he had put his hands to his mouth. Then he grasped the pistol, thus accounting for the blood upon it. Mr. Taggart spoke for an hour and fifteen minutes, and Mr. Douglass for the defense said he would reserve his presentation of the case. Thomas Franc's, the first witness in the case, was then called. He is a . . . i . ii. draughtsman who nan prepared a a-.a-- gram of the fourth floor of the Ken more Hotel, including Acres' room. He identified the drawing and gave details .(concerning the location and dimensions of the; room. The first witness in the afternoon was Harry A. Wise, a pho tographer, who had made photographs of Ayres' room on the day after the tragedy occurred. The pictures taken by him were presented and identified by the witness. Mr. Douelaes objected to their acceptance as evidence, on the ground that they did not represent te exact condition of the room when Ayres' body was discovered. He thought their presentation should be delayed until testimony should be tak en showing the conditions were the same when the body was found ana when the picture wa.s made. The pho tographs were accented by the court for the purprse only of showing the per manent physical condition of the room when they were taV&n. Julius Haack, another pfo'ofwranhr" who hid made photograph of th Kenmore Hotel and of Ayres rom. also idertffied the pic tures rondo 'm, and they were ad mitted in evidence. The. first. witness whx testified about, the events directiy connected witk the death of Avres was Daniel Woodhou-se, the colored waiter in the Kenmore Hotel who discovered the body of the young man. He'snid that at 8:30 on the mornine of Mav 15 he was asked V.y Miss'Minas. who 'occup'ed a room rext to Ayres' to go to the latter's room,, she savin e that on the nlrht be fore she had banl stran?e no' in the room. He fl-s4 d'sovored the body by lookin? thri t.h vvhol and afterwards paw it through the transom. He" also told ri'ig the alarm aid nf the RMb3""i",Tit ivP5t"ition iito he trad"'.
