The police did not become inquisitive,
and but one arrest was made during

Young Army Captain Held for
Murder of w. E. Annis,
Other as Accessory.
PROSECUTOR SAYS SLAIN
MAN WAS PLOT VICTIM
Declares T. Jenkins Hams Urged
Killing of Publisher for
a Personal Motive.
Especial to the Evening start

80 ~ ~ 6NShfh6 RNaAI
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Captain
Peter C. Hams, U. S. A, and his
brother, T.. Jenkins Hams. the author
were today held without bail in the
Long Island City Police Court. the
former charged with the actual murder
OF William e. Annis, whom he accused
OF running his home, and the latter
charged with being an accessory be-
fore, during and after the sensational
killing of the publisher at the Bayside
Yacht Club. They will be given a
formal hearing in the police court a
week from today. On advice of their
counsel they would not make any
statement.
A special grand jury will be en-
paneled at once and the trial will
probably occur early next month.
The police announced that the case
had taken a sensational turn in which
1T would be shown that T. jenkins
Hams was actually more guilty than
the man who fired the eight bullets
lisher's body.
Harvey G. Rockwell, a close friend
of Annis, today delivered to The dis
trict attorney a bundle of letters which
Annis had received recently. All of
them informed him that his life was
in danger, and one of them, received
on Friday, warned him not to go to
the Bayside Yacht Club on Saturday
as Hams had planned to kill him there.
Plot Is Charged. f
1t is now said that Annis was the
victim of a plot, that T. Jenkins Hams
goaded his brother on, first by accus-
ing Annis of having won the affections
of Captain Hains's wife and then by
working his brother up to the point
where he killed Annis. The prosecutor
declares that T. Jenkins Hams had a
personal object to get rid of Annis and
says that when the testimony is given
it will be of a most sensational char
acter.
T. Jenkins Hams, it has been dis
covered, ha a record. He killed a man
who was known as his best friend back
in 1891 and stood trial for murder and
was acquitted after a famous trial.
At that time he was known as Thorn
ton j. Hams, but after the trial he
changed his name to y. Jenkins Hams.
His father was then stationed at
Fortress Monroe. Va, and Haines was
out in a rowboat. near the fort, with
Edward Hannegan, who was his chum.
Robley d. Evans, now an admiral, saw
Hams shoe and kill Hannegan In the
boat, and was the most important wit
ness against him at the trial. But,
despite the strong evidence against
Hams. he was acquitted on his plea
Of self-defense. Subsequently the jury
which acquitted him was publicly con-
demned at numerous mass-meetings.
