 Powell was formerly in the army. He says he was not in the Tenth cav airy and was not discharged at san Francisco. as stated in the report or w. G. Baldwin. He states he enlisted in the Thirty eighth regiment Tn the Spanish American war and from AL lanta went to Fort Thomas. Ky thence to St. Louis, where he was discharged From St Louis he returned to Atlanta and has been working here ever since

Foraker Reads Letter.

Senator Foraker took the floor as soon as, the Presidents message and the accompanying documents had been read. He read letter from Boyd Con yers, a discharged soldier who is al- legged to have made a confession to a colored detective named Lawson, whose report accompanies others contained in the account made up by the war de- partment and read today. In his let ter to Senator Foraker, Conyers speaks of the visit Of Lawson to Monroe. Ga. where Conyers has been living. Con yers says he learned that Lawson was there to pick" him and that he had the high sheriff" arrest Lawson As Lawson had not had an opportunity to have a private talk with Conyers, according to the latter's letter, it made him angry and Conyers says Lawson told lies" to the sheriff about him.
 At this point MT. Foraker referred caustically to this colored detective. calling attention to the fact that his high sounding, smooth, logical report is signed with his mark and, paus- ing to look around the Senate, the senator added:
 When this thing is gone to the bottom of all honest men will be ashamed of it.
 MT. Foraker said the statement of the President concerning this investi- gation by detectives showed the pro priety of adopting such a provision as that embodied in his amendment.
 "It seems to me-" he said, that one of the worst features of this whole unfortunate business is that this man should now be pursued in this way by secret detectives in the manner I have described"
 Senator Foraker read a letter he had written to Conyers, in which he said he, the senator" would look after" the detectives who were visiting him "at the proper time."
 That promise will be made good declared MT. Foraker.
 Enough has been shown" he as

Following - em were William An William Lemons, Henry Jimerson, James 'Rastus Johnson and Henry Sonny Jones' Sergeant Reid, in charge of the guard, was accused by Conyers of knowl edge before and after the raid. Sergt. George Jackson, in charge of the keys of the gun racks of Company B, was accused of opening the racks for the raiders. and of again opening them sub sequent to the raid in order that the guns might be removed and cleaned. T found Boyd Conyers in a disturbed frame of mind. No claim is made that his original declarations to William Law son were other than those of crim- inal boasting to one of his own race Of his crime and of his success in escap- ing discovery. His subsequent declara- tions to me were given partly during mo- ments of contrition and in desire to unload his conscience by a confession and partly the result of careful and persistent questioning.
 q found the effect of the letter. from Senator Foraker to Conyers extremely obstructive He seemed to regard it as a mandate to adhere to the false story told by him before the Senate committee on military affairs and Ks absolving him from any and all obligations to aid in uneovering the truth. Similar in- fuenees were encountered at many points, adding largely to the difficulty of ob- taining admissions of even the most ob- vious facts relative to the raid.

Hains, author and story writer. on charges of being an accessory in the killing of William E. Annis, an editor, shot down at the Bayside Yacht club last summer by Capt Peter C. Hains Jr., of the United States army, brother of the man on trial
 The questioning of talesmen by Hains counsel indicate that the defense will be based principally on the propo- sition that Thornton Hains. fearing that his brothers life was in jeopardy from the crowd at the club house, drew his revolver and held the crowd back His act was one of defense and not of offense, according to his counsel
 John F. Mcintyre of counsel for Hains announced tonight that Hains would take the witness stand in his own defense. MT. Mcintyre will also offer in evidence the alleged confess sion made by Mrs. Claudia Hains to her husband

Defense Subpoenaed.

Counsel for the defense were sub poenaed by District Attorney Darrin to- night to appear as witnesses in the case. Mr. Shaw, of Hains' counsel, said MT. Darrin desired to secure the pos session of certain letters written by Thornton J. Hains to Captain Hains last spring, asking him to return from the Philippines.
 Thornton J. Hains took a lively in- terest in the examination of talesmen today and frequently conferred with his counsel over some of the answers of the prospective jurors. Whenever the states attorney asked a talesman If he knew the defendant, Hains would smile and point to himself to indicate that he was the defendant and not one of the numerous counsel who were grouped about him. Hains said he has every confidence that he would ea+ Christmas dinner at home.
 After the adjournment of court he was manacled to a deputy sheriff and taken in an automobile to the Long Island jail. Gen. Peter Hains and Mrs Hains, father and mother of the de- fendant returned to New York, fol- lowing tue afternoon session of court.

 Justice Crane has indicated to counsel that week should be sufficient time to try the case. and 1t is not unlikely that night sessions of court will be held to expedite it. Early court room reports had 1t today that the defendant would take the witness stand and tell the story of those occurrences at Fort Hamilton which counsel for the defense alleged caused Captain Hans to send his wife away and take the life of Annis. In this way a foundation for Captain Hains' defense would be laid

History of Case.


 Wm. E. Annis. an editor of an outing periodical was shot and killed while step- ping from his boat to the float of the Bayside Yacht club on August 15 by Captain Hains. The army captain had named his victim as correspondent in a suit for divorce brought against his wife. Claudia Hains, and counsel allege that breeding over his wrongs brought on temporary insanity. While Captain Hains in the Philippines year ago his brother. Thornton, wrote him that his wife was receiving too much atten- ton from Anns. The absent captain returned to Fort Hamilton and his wife denied the charges. Later Mrs. Hains asserts that Captain Hains. her husband, and Thornton Jenkins Hains forced d false confession from her. The couple separated and Captain Hains brought a divorce suit. Hearing that Annis was still visiting his wife, Captain Hains is said to have become enraged and his counsel declare that he from that time became temporarily insane.
 In company with his brother, Thorn ton, he went to the Bayside Yacht club last August and inquired for Annis. When Apnis stepped from the boat Captain Hains shot him five times while Thorn ten waved the club members away with a drawn revolver.
