Special Prosecutor AgainSI
thornton HainS
STATED HIS BRIEF TO-DAY
The Attorney for the Respondent Mad,
Constant 0bjection-Drawing Of a
Jury Was Completed Last
Night.

Flushing, L. l., Dec. 1e.--Elmer
White. the special prosecutor, opened
the case against Thornton Hams in
court today and he read speech in
which he charged the respondent with
instigating Peter C. Hains to kin w.
j., Annis because he was enraged at
Annis' refusal to buy sea stories his
the magazine Recreation with which
he was connected lie said that the
Hams brothers were in hack on their
way 10 the Bayside Yacht club, the
scene of the tragedy, and saw Annis
pass and said ''We've got him now"
Attorney Mcintyre for Hains con-
stantly objected. Hains himself was
amused. Leaning over to his father he
said That's news anyway"
The defence wants to fire the pistol
which killed Annis, in court. The
state witnesses say that Thorntcn's
pistol kept them away from saving
Annis. The defence claims that the
whole contents Of the automatic gun
were discharged in one and flve.eigths
seconds, and that Thornton's alleged
interference had nothing to do with
AnniS death. The scheme win be
fought by the state.
The jury was completed last night

land City.
2. Thomas Walsh, builder, Long Is
land City.

ii. Patrick Ahern, retired farmer,

~. Henry Boeing foreman. Corona.
Thornton Hains expressed himself as
pleased with the makeup of the men
who would pass upon the evidence in
the case. Hains said:
"They are all good men and qualified
to pass carefully upon the facts pre-
scented. They are men of my choice
and feel that the jury will acquit me
when the evidence is put in."
The expedition with which the jury
was chosen, taking only four sessions
OF court, is considered unusual by both
counsel in view Of the widespread know
ledge of the case in Queens county.
Justice Crane obviated much delay by
eliminating unnecessary questions and
directing That all interrogations Of
talesmen be brief.

THE POPULAR VOTE
FOR PRESIDENT

lion and Quarter Over Bryan.
Total Vote Is Larger.

New York, Dec. 16.--The total pop.
ular vote for the various presidential
candidates was made known yesterday
in an official form by the filing of the
last of the official vote, that of Aichi-
gan. The totals follow:

Hisgen independence s3,1s6.
Watson (populist) 1851.
Gilhaus (socialist-labor) 15,421.

This grand total exceeds by 1,341 ,531
the total number of votes cast in the
presidential election Of 1904, when he
grand total was 13,510,70s.
Compared with that election, the can
didates Of the Republican, democratic
and socialist parties increased their
vote this year. The reverse is true of
the candidates Of the prohibition, pop
ulist and socialist labor parties.
The biggest difference in party vote
is shown in the increase for Bryan of
1,315,211 over the total vote cast in
1904 for Alton B. Parker, the demo-
cratic candidate. Taft received 14,190
votes more than were polled for Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1904 and Debs ran
45,5es ahead Of his predecessor on the
socialist ticket.
The heaviest loss is shown by the
populists who, with the same candidate
registered s3,s12 votes less this year
than in 1904, when their total was
1873. The prohibitionist candidate
Chain, ran 1884 votes behind the
1904 mark.
New York (s7o,o7o), Pennsylvania,
(745,779A and Illinois (e2e, ,9s2), gave
Taft the greatest number Of votes
among the states while as to Bryan
the order was New York (667, ,46s).
Ohio (502.721) and Illinois (450,s1S.)
Debs received his largest vote in
Pennsylvania. 3e,0iS, Illinois, 1911,
end New York, 3s.451. Vermont cast
e02 votes for him.
Hisgen's vote in New York, s5,s17,
and in his own state Of Massachusetts,,
1927, together formed nearly two
thirds OF all the votes received in the
whole country.
