man who was shot by Capt. Peter c.
Hams Jr.. L, $. a, at the Bayside 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
Tor the State has been literally riddled
by John f. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
Hams, but there is story current to-
ten by T. jenkins Hams TO her husband,
which was a warning, II not 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 c. Hams jr.s name with that of
Annis
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
lntrigues at Fort Hamilton which fol-
lowed the killing Of Annis
II Mrs. Annis has such a 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.
Annis may not know them, but Mr.. Me
fntyre has heard them, and 1t is en-
pected he will draw her out on insIg-
nificant social tuuctions-at least, func-
lions which appeared insignificant 10
her-at the fort, and then. by introduce
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 q,arreis. the gossip and every
thing else.
If Mrs. Annis has such a letter from
T. Jenkins Hams 1t may go hard with
Hams. but it 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 Annia
came into Ha.nss home. stole Ais wtte's
love and besmircSed MS honor
Up to this time the chief weapon Of
the State is the evidence that I. Jenkins
Hams levolled his revolver at members
of the Bayside Yacht Club while the
brother was pumping bullets into the
body Of Annis
Another strong poinr in The prosecu-
lions evidence is the statement thai I.
jenkins Hams made inquiry Just before
the shooting when he and Capt Hams
entered the Baysde Yacht club. as TO
the whereabouts of Annis. More than
