Jr., and Attorney Kecnc of counsel for the defense made a preliminary statement In behalf of Mrs. Honlne. It was mndo evident from Mr. Kcene's statement that the effort would be to show a lack of motive for the crime on the part of Mrs. Honlne and to support her plea that Ayres wa.i killed In a strug gle nfter ho tried to Intimidate her wllh a, revolver. Tho principal witness today was Prof. Scbaeffer, a chemist, who made a micro scopical examination of the wrapper worn by Mrs. Honlne on the night of the tragedy nnd who said that he had found no traces of blood upon It. He aho said that he tw no blood on the slippers she had worn on that occasion. Another witness of the day was Ayres' father, who told of an Inter view he had had with Mrs. Honlne three or four days after the killing. He outlined his efforts to arouse her sympathy, but said thnt sho did not respond. The room occupied by the criminal court presented somewhat the appeuranco of n Junkshop from the fact that a number of the belongings of Ayres' room In tho Ken moro hotel were exhibited. These Included tho blood-stained carpet which covered thu Iloor, Ayres' two trunks and a section' from the Inner part of the wall ol the room be longing under tho window, showing blood upon plaster and washboard. The wrapper worn by Mrs, Honlne on the night of til's tragedy hIto was shown l.loutennnt James A. Moore of tho polico force wns tho first witness. Ho Identified this miscellaneous assortment of chattels. Ho Bald that acting under Mrs. Honluc's Instructions ho bad gone to her room the day she made her confession to tho chief of police nnd had procured the wrapper and had delivered It to the detectives. There are torn places under tho arms of the gnr ment which ho had not seen on that deca slon, but he said 011 cross-examination that they might possibly havo becu thero without his seeing them. Dr. Udward M. Schaeffcr. the chemist who made a search for blood on Mrs, Honlno's wrapper nnd analyzed the blood on other articles In Ayres room, testified that he had examined the wrapper with grcnt enro and had failed to Und nny Indication whatever of blood. "I did not find n spot ns big as a pin's head," Uc said. He also said that the formality tt was not the purpose of the defense to minimize the offeine of which ! his client was charged, for It was unde- i nlable that the tragedy had fallen heavily upon two families. Many guests of the Kvnmoit) were to hi ntroduced, said Mr. Kecne, and he bc leved It would be shown thnt the char acter of the people living there wns good. Mr. Keene called ntcntlon to the fact that Mrs. Honluc was chosen as a leader tn the social festivities of (he hotel nnd thh holce, he said, fell upon her berause of her capacity. The defense would show that she had laught seven young men lo dance. In De cember a dance of more than ordinary Im portance had been given and young Ayres had appeared there an much Intoxicated that he wos offctiolvc to those In attend ance nnd Mrs. tlcnlnc had been compelled t ns n friend of the young man, to get him to retire. This Incident had, he snld, led to some discord, She Wns r.inil or Medicine. Continuing, Mr. Keene said It would be shown thul In getting up tho dances Mrs, Honlne had visited the rooms of nil per sons, regardless of sex or age, who could 1 dance, to get them to participate. It could also be shown that Mrs. Honlne was fond of medicine and that this fondness had served her In ministering to the sick and that she did visit innny of them.
