Wife DECLARES
HAMS DEGENERATE

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-It became
known today that the threatening
letters said to have been sent to
William E. Annis, the advertising
manager, by Captain Peter G, Hams,
who shot and killed Annis at the Bay
side club, while T. Jenkins Hams
held the crowd at bay, were really
challenges to fight duel. On June
26 the first letter was written. That
was the day Mrs. Claudia Hams con.
fessed to her husband, his brother
and General Hams, the father, her
relations with Annis during the cap
tain's absence in the Philippines. AS
soon as Mrs. Hams signed the written
confession Captain Hams took the
same pen and on the same table in
the presence of his wife wrote a chal-
lenge to Annis.
Hams pointed out-not knowing
whether or not his rival was familiar
with the code of dueling-that Annis
had the privilege of naming the
weapons to be used in the affair.
The officer then wrote second let
ter. He waited three days and wrote
the third challenge. The wording Of
the letter is not here given verbatim,
but it was about like this:
II will demand combat at the
first opportunity, so be prepared.
The letters have been turned over
to District Attorney Darrin.
A dispatch from Winthrop High
lands, Massachusetts,, gives Charles
H. Libbey, father of Mrs. Hams. as
authority for the statement that in
the divorce papers that were served
on Captain Hams week ago last
Monday Mrs. Hams alleged that her
husband was a morally degraded per-
son and made charges of the most
sensational character. At the same
time the complainant demanded in
her position that the case itself be
tried in open court.
The allegations are along the lines
of the exposures of the round table II
Berlin, where Count Eulenburg wai
charged with misconduct with others
While no names are mentioned ther,
are instances related which date bacl
to the time when Captain Hams ant
wife were on their honeymoon ant
while the captain was stationed a
Fortress Monroe. 1t is alleged tina
Mrs Hams caught her husband in tn
quarters of an officer whose residenc
was very close to the one occupied b
the Hainses.
