ing Of Annis.

Flushing, N. r, Dec. 15-with six
jurors In the jury box last night and
counsel for both sides hopeful that
the other six may be selected during
the day, the states case against
Thornton ]. Hains charged as an
accessory to his brother, Captain Pet
er. G. Hams, Jr., in the killing Of Will
liam e. Annis at the Bay Side Yacht
club last summer, is likely to be pre-
sented In court late today. The de-
cision last night of Justice Crane not
to lock up the jury has removed the
fear among the talesmen that If Sc
lected to act in the case they might be
locked up over Christmas.
Justice Crane announced at the
opening of court that he had receiv-
cd from the county Judge certificate
authorizing the appointment of Elmer
s. White and James A. Dayton as spe-
DIAL prosecutors in the case. In spite
Of the opposition by counsel for the
defense, Justice Crane directed that
the appearance Of the two special
prosecutors be noted and the order Of
the county judge carried out. Attor-
ney Mcintyre said he would ask the
county Judge to have the order vacat-
ed. The: examination of the talesmen
was then resumed and Attorney White
as special prosecutor, undertook the
questioning Of the talesmen.
The questioning Of talesmen by
Hains' counsel indicates that the de-
fense will be based principally on the
proposition that Thornton Hains, fear
ing that his brothers life was In
jeopardy from the crowd at the club
house drew his revolver and held the
crowd back. His act was one Of de-

to the separation Of Captain Hains
and his wife and to the tragedy. Mr..
Mcintyre will also offer in evidence
the alleged confession made by Mrs.
Claudia Hams to her husband
Counsel for the defense were sub
poenaed by District Attorney Darrin
last night to appear as witnesses in
the case. Mr.. Shay of Hams counsel
said Mr.. Darrin desired to secure pos
session OF certain letters written by
Thornton ]. Hams to Captain Halns
last spring asking him to return from
the Philippines.

fendant and not one Of the numerous
counsel who were grouped about him.
Hains said he had every confidence
that he would eat Christmas dinner at
home. -

She was In the midst Of the crowd and
suddenly felt something tugging at
her ankle. Reaching to discover It's

the ripe that had twisted around her
leg and she was hauled through the
crowd. She became unconscious but

the aeronaut, advise her to hold UP
her head but she was unable to COM

suffered from nervousness.
The action will be continued to-
