NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Capfain Peter

down in his cell in the Queens County
jail, in Long Island City, today.
SO many contradictory statements re-
garding alleged confessions by Mrs.

fiction. Lawyers for Captain Hams
and his brother gave out the substance
of the alleged confession of Mrs. Hams.
Then they denied ever declaring that
Mrs. Hams had admitted that Annls
was the father of her youngest child.
Frank G. Wild, Mrs. Hains's counsel.
on behalf of his clients father, Charles
H. Libby. denied that Libby has made
a statement accusing Captain Hams Of
immoral practises.
John F. Mcintyre repudiated the
statement attributed to him regarding
the illegitimacy of the youngest child,
but said Mrs. Hams had admitted
wrongdoing with Annis. According to
Mcintyre, Mrs. Hams, in her alleged
confession, admitted hat she had

The wife admitted also, according to
1n. httShanIic 10 uxyarG that from Anril
10 TO April II she had been at a hotel
i'll West Forty-fourth street with
Annis, registered under the name of
Anderson, and that in this period a
criminal operation was performed upon
her. 1t is this alleged confession whicn
the defense will maintain unbalanced
the mind of the captain and rendered
him irresponsible for his acts.
Frank G. Wild, counsel for Mrs.
Hams, denies that any of Mrs. Hains's
children are Legitimate and aid that
a criminal operation never had been
performed on Mrs. Hams, and that she
was not guilty OF the charges of in
fidelity.
"Mrs. Hams will not make any direct
statement at this time regarding her
position in. this unfortunate affair.""
Mr.. Wild said. "The children of Mrs.
Hams are Captain Hains's children,
and we will act on those charges at the
proper time.
1T is easy to see that Mr.. Mcintyre
is trying to influence public sentiment
in favor of his client"
Joseph A. Shay. associated with NC
Intyre, visited his client in the Long
Island City Jail, and while he was there
Captain Hams completely collapsed.
During the visit the slayer tried to at
tack his brother, Major Hams, who
was present.
Hams COllapses.
AS DIR. Clarence N. Plat, the tall
physician, passed the prisoners cell
door and asked if there was anything
he could do for him Hams cried out:
"I loved my wife; how 1 loved her!"
and threw himself on the wooden bench
in his cell.
After he left the Jail Shay declared
that while he was vainly plying his
client with questions Hams persisted
in crying out; "He robbed me of my
wife. l loved her. I loved her. My
God, this is terrible!'
District Attorney Ira c.. Darrin to-
day declared that he believed Captain

JUDdE-MADR GRAND .JURrEs.

Tt is proposed to practically place the power of drawing grand jurors
lists for each year with the court in order to insure the selection o. grand
jurors who will indnt all vfoators of the excise and Sunday laws. The
grand inquest a instituted to protect he citizens 'front.' unjust prosecution,
and it has always been constituted separate and distinct from the court
IT is a law unto itself. The Robbins bill in the Senate gives to the Common
Pleas judge the right TO strike from and add to a grand jury list of 2o
names selected by the sheriff for a year. which is equivalent exactly to the
selection Of the entire grand imies by the court. The court is also given the
power o name the foreman of the sr and jury.
If this proposed innovation has been dictated by the exigences of poll
tics 1t will be all the more reprehensib1e on that account if made. The ten
dency of legislation is too much to throw power into the hands of the judi
eialy. Attempts are constantly being made to invest judges with functions
that do not belong % them. In this 81 the personal liberty of the citizen is
involved. Shall he look for protection against unjust prosecution to a grand
jury drawn by IN elective sheriff OF to a grand jury drawn by al appointive
Judge. who, if he shall be indicted, is to try him for al onense charged? A bill
that violates the principle of the great Magma Chata is not for the New Jer-
sy Legislature to pass without great popular resentment when the people
come o understand what it really means.
