NEW YORK, Aug 2O.-Interest in
the Hains case today centers in CON

counsel connected with the opposing
sides OF the case. Frank G. Wild,
Mrs. Hams counsel. insisted that the
confession is to the contrary notwith-
standing Mrs. Hams has not ever
been guilty Of improper conduct with
Annis. A wild denial in published
story is that Mrs. Hains is trying to
effect reconciliation with her hus-
band and would testify in his behalf.
Regarding the much exploited au-
tomobile ride on which Hams took
Annis, Weldon c. Percy, the first
lawyer called into the case by Hams
and his brother, said that after Hams
had returned from the Philippines,
his wife convinced him that the gos-
sip connecting her name with Annis
was false. In order to silence the
detractors the captain openly invit-
ed Annis and his wife to the barracks
and afterwards they went riding.
Subsequently the captain discovered
the truth He adds that the talk
about Mrs. Hains not being in full
possession Of her faculties when she
signed the confession is ridiculous. He
says fully IL hours elapsed between
the oral and signed confession,
