OF NachtSmen who sought to prevent
the tragedy, was evidence which came
into the hands of District Attorney

terms that they went automobiling
together as recently as May 20 last,

Ing in Ocean parkway. The case was
postponed in the court and is still on
Inc calendar.
The party was in Mr.. Annis' auto
mobile and the police held Annis in
500 bail. Annis only had $40, so the
police were about to lock him up when
Captain Hams stepped forward and
handed the prisoner four $40 gold
pieces, thus obtaining his release.

both Captain Hams and Mr.. Annis that
this friendship ceased after q talk the
captain had with his brother. Il. Jen-
kins Hains," said the district attorney
II intend to v Jenkins tried as an
accessory after and before the fact, az

Hams, Captain Hains wife. Mrs. Hams
called upon Mrs. Annis yesterday after
noon. and remained with her until
nearly midnight.
Mrs. Annis, who witnessed the shoot

received by Mr.. Annis the day before
he was shot. The letter warned him.

would shoot him on sight.
Mrs. Annis frequently entertained

failed to mature. The Early Amber
sorghum and its other forms, as I'm
proved Amber and Earliest Black, still
remain the earliest varieties known in
this country, where they have been cul-
tyated for nearly forty years. They
require 10 to 100 days to reach maturi-
y, the time varying according to the
latitude, season and soil.
Many different methods Of preparing
the soil for sorghum are practiced In
various parts of the couatry. In gen.
eral, II may be said that the land
should receive essentially the same
treatment as if it were - be planted to
corn or cotton. The tine and depth OF
blowing will necessarily vary, accord.

As general rule, sorghum should be
town later than corn. 1t should not be
Nwn until the soil b as become quite
warm. Otherwise there Is danger OF
losing much of the seed. Even If tbs
seed remains uninjvred, termination
