STRENGTHENED
Was Defense by the Testimony of
Weaver in Hams Case Yesterday


Weaver in Hams Case Yesterday
New York, Dec. 28.-When Charles
Raymond Weaver left the stand this
afternoon, general opinion was that
he had strengthened the defense.
Weaver was for years the partner of
General and Captain Hams. He told
how on August Is he dissuaded the
brothers from going on motor boat
trip, inducing them to 60 to Bayside
and look at property; told OF cap
tain's peculiar actions several days be-
fore the shooting and believed the
captain was insane. Witness said he
felt he was innocently responsible for
the tragedy and broke down and wept.
Through Weaver the defense was en-
abled to introduce for the first time
evidence touching upon alleged rela-
tions between Claudia and Annis.
Judge ruled the defense might show
the state of mind of the captain as
bearing on whether Thornton aided in
the commission of the crime. Just be-
fore adjournment James Tierney tes-
titled he was on the float when Annis
was shot but did not see Thornton
pull revolver until Roberts, one of the
states witnesses, went on the float.
Said Mrs. Annis was not on the float
at any time and that he didn't see
Thornton point a revolver at anyone,
but heard him call twice for police
man. Thornton's mother met him this
afternoon in the courtroom and there
was an affecting scene.
