COUNSEL'S WARNING

| New York, Aug 1S.-It was learned to-day that new light is ex- pected to be thrown upon the Bay side Yacht club tragedy at the in- quest to be held Wednesday evening in the Town hall at Flushing, L. l., into the cause of the. death of Will liam E. Annis, who was shot to death last Saturday by Captain Peter c. Hains of the United Sta.es army. Dr Henry Houghton, the physician who was at the side of Annis when he lost consciousness, was quoted to- day as intimating that Annis made a statement before his death in which he acknowledged that he was paying with his life for wrong he had committed. He told certain things to me-" Dr Houghton is quo-- ed as saying, which no one else heard and which l have told to no one. When I am called on to testi- fly before the coroner's jury, will probably make it public
 The physician is further quoted as asserting that taking into consid eration what Annis told him, he hardly thought it possible that an officer in the United States army would shoot down in cold blood man in the presence of his wife and children without having a great and good cause. That there was abso- lu:ely nothing in the attitude of either of the Hains to indicate that they were laboring under any delu- sion or any great excitement at the time of the shooting, was declared by the doctor.
 It was learned to-day that Fred erick L. Norton of Boston. Mrs Hains counsel in the divorce ac.ion brought by her husband, would vis- it this city to-day in reference to his clients affairs. It was under stood that Mrs Hains intends to take some action toward compelling the return Of her children to her
 That w. c. Percy. counsel for Peter Conoyer Hains and his broth CT, T. Jenkins Hains is determined that no one shall visit the two pris- oners and have conversation with them regarding the crime is shown ny le JET WHICH lne WdTutn 'Oi tnS Queens county jail received to-day. The letter was sent by Mir Percy and read:
 Please let no one see Captain Hains or his brother, T. Jenkin Hains. except their father or mother, until further notice. l have been retained as counsel"
 The warden says he will carry out the wishes of the lawyer.
 Dr Houghton this afternoon de- nied that Annis told him anything from which it could be inferred that Captain Hains had any cause for the shooting. The coroner will hold an investigation tomorrow and will base his finding on the evidence sub mitted by the state.
