Mrs. Bonine Is Acquitted.

Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, who was charged and tried by the government for the murder of James Seymour Ayres, has been acquitted at Washington, D. C. The verdict was not a surprise to any one for the reason that the prosecution failed to show any motive for the alleged murder. The jury was out nearly five hours. Mrs. Bonine was at once surrounded by her relatives and a few friends who warmly congratulated her upon her acquittal.
