would not reveal how it will combat the fact that
the brothers were at the clubhouse for a time be-
fore the shooting made inquiries as to when Annls
would appear and then stuck close to the one man
likely to him when he did arrive
Mr. Shay said last night that the defence would
produce unmpeachable evidence that not only did
the brothers go to the clubhouse to XIII Annls
but that T Jenkins Hams had idea that his
brother intended 10 commit murder
1t will be argued by the defence that I. Jenkins
Hams, knowing in common with other members
of the family OF the bad blood existing between
Captain Hains and Annis went with his brother
to prevent him from committing murder Although
both say they have carried revolvers all their
lives il will be the defence that T. Jenkins Hams
did not expect anything mora than bout at hstl-
cuffs between his brother and Annis Then they
met, and that the automatic pistol had been emp
tied before he realized what had OCCURRED. Then
he drew his revolver protect his brother. In
stead OF saying that it family affair and
that no should interfere, the defence now says
that what 7. Jenkins Hains did say was this
Stand back. Get officer will see That the
man does get away
The defence is not at all Ill pleased with the
report that District Attorney Darrin is to set an
extra guard over the brothers TO guard against
Captain Hams, they believe that such an action
will only strengthen their case. They do not fear
the production of Mrs. Hains a witness for
the prosecution either as if she does take the
stand and attack her husband the defence Will be
able TO attack her story ON cross-examnation II
she is called by the prosecution 1t is doubtful
II the defence puts her the stand, as her con-
fesslon. signed and sealed, will be the best testi-
mony that they could get from her.
TRIAL MAY NOT BE UNTIL NOVEMBER.
Although District Attorney Darrin says that the
case viii probably go at a special term of the
Supreme Court in September, it is doubtful if the
case comes to trial before November The District
Attorney says that he has not funds enough to
prosecute the properly, although he says he
doubts Il will cost the county more than Sl2o,
q sum which he viii ask for to-day. The appro-
priation last year for Queens County amounted to
only 81 go and the District Attorney wants TO see
tie year ended without deficit.
There is one thing certain" District Attorney
Darrin said, this will be repetition of the
Thaw case. No Queens County jury will stand for
anv brainstorm' defence, and neither of the Hams
brothers is any more insane than any man who
commits a crime. The is plain against
these two men who committed cold blooded and
cowardly murder that there Will be necessity
for long drawn trial any great expenditure
of money l do not expect that the trial will cost
the county more than $1,000 S1,2O0
