of Trouble for States

man who was shot BY Capt. Peter c.
Hams tr., L. $. a, at the Baysde Yacht
Club will be recalled to the stand by
the prosecution in the trial OF Thornton
Jenkins Hams, indicted for completely
in the murder, when the case is resumed
on Monday.
Mrs. Annis has now doomed up as the
strongest witness for the prosecution.
The testimony of several other witnesses
for the State has been literally riddled
by John +. Mcintyre. chief counsel for
Hams. but there is a story current to-
day that Mrs. Annis has a letter writ
ten by T. Jenkins Hams to her husband.
which was a warning, il not a threat.
Mrs. Annis is expected to go back to
the time Of the conception of the traG
edy-the time when. It is alleged, T.
Jenkins Hams revealed to his brother,
the captain. the scandal connecting Mrs.
Peter G. Hams jr.'s name with that of
Anns.
Justice Crane up to this time has
closely guarded every effort on the part
of counsel for the defense to get on the
records the stories OF dissipation and
lntriEuss at Fort Hamilton which fol-
lowed the killing Of Annis.
II Mrs. Annis has such letter from
T. jenkins Hams, If she IS compelled
TO go back to the time Capt. Hams de-
cided to do harm to Annis. these scan
dals Will be brought to light Mrs.

fntyre has heard them. and 1t is eX-
pected he will draw her out on insIg
nificant social functions-at least, func-
tons which appeared insignificant to
her-at the fort. and then, by inroduc-
ing other witnesses. the bomb OF scan
dalous doinEs will explode.
May Be Explosion.
It is said that more than one man
of high standing in the army will be
powder burned should there be such
an explosion. Mr.. Mcintyre is deter
mined to get at the full story-the
stories of the NIGHTS OF orgies. the days
of repose, the smoking and drinking
among men and women, the card play
Ing. the quarreis. the gossip and every
thing else.
If Mrs. Annis has such letter from
T. jenkins Hams 1t may go hard with
Hams. but 1t will go pretty hard also
with certain men and women who took
part in affairs at the fort during the
absence of capt. Peter Hams in the
Philippines. when it is charged AnniS
came into Halnss home, stole Ais wi,e's
love and besmirched his honor.
Up to this time tie chief weapon or
the State is the evidence that 7. Jenkins
Heins levelled his revolver at members
of the Buyside Yacht Club while the
brother was pumping bullets into the
body Of Annis.
Another strong poinr in the prosecu-
lions evidence Is the statement TIA. I.
jenkins Hams made inquiry Just h"tor"
the shooting when he and Capt; llains
entered the Bays!de Yacht CLUB, as TO
the whereabouts OF Annis More than
once IT has been testified ne had Annis F.
pointed out to him as the latter wGs
coming into the dock in his boat
Mr., Mcintyre has not been able to tea
down these two props IN Tho states
case. but ne did knock the pins from
under three of Prosecutor purriu's own
witnesses when ho made them swear
they did not hear Thornton Hans
threaten 10 kin if anyone interfrrrod
as testified to by Charles H. BIrohtied
and others. Mr. Mcintyre ALREADY has
injected II strong inference regarding
the alleged Illicit relations between An
mis- aud Mrs. Claudia Hams.
