Edgewood, in Westville. He suffered
a sinking spell and was regarded in so
dangerous a condition that all his rela-
tives were summoned, including his
brother, Alfred Mitchell of New Lon
don, his daughter, Mrs. Edward d.
Ryerson of Chicago and his son. Wal
ter Mitchell of New York city.
The author is 85lyears fold and fear
is felt that the present attack is the
beginning of the breaking up Of his
system.
At 1e, Mr.. Mitchell was graduated
from Yale. After graduation he wrote
for the papers, and his first. book.
1S4S. MY Farm at Edgewood,"
which came out a considerable inter-
val after the publication of 1.-THE
Reveries of Bachelors and Dream
Life" may now be read as a kind Of
prelude to Mr.. Mitchell's later career,
which has been spent at "Edgewood,"
on the outskirts of New Haven, in q
privacy which Of late years has rarely
been sacrificed, in spite Of many invi-
tations and temptations.
In winter, when the trees are bare,
Mr.. Mitchell is able to see the uni

conspicuous graduaes.
gaging figure. Those who have heard
him in his few appearances of late
years have been charmed by the
urbanity of his manner, the pic
turesqueness of his face, the refine
ment of his voice, and that delightful
style which carries one back to the
days when burdens were not so heavy
Mitchell has tasted the sweets Of popu-
lar success; he has had the affection
and friendship of the foremost Ameri-
can men of letters of his time.

BOTH ARE HELD.
Coroner's Jury Investigating
the Murder of Annis.
Place the Responsibility on the
Hams Brothers.
ONLY TWO WITNESSES.
Effort Made by Their Attorney
to Lay the Foundation
For Plea of Insanity in Their
Defense.
ONLY TWO WITNESSES.

New York. Aug. 21.-At the coroner's
inauest of the death of William L.
Annis. who was shot Saturday by Cap
tain Peter c. Hams, a crowd gathered
around T. Jenkins Hams, the captains
brother and began to question him as
to the tragedy in which he played SUCH
an important part. He was asked II he
felt justified in holding a crowd at bay
with a revolver while his brother shot
Annis. Before Hams could reply John
F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for the
brothers. rushed to his side and shout
ed:
mo, no, don't answer that question.
Only two witnesses were called at the
inquest They were Charles H. Robert
of Flushing. who testified that he was
standing on the club house float when
he heard shots and saw Captain Hams
in kneeling position clinging to the
dropping body of Annis, as he empt1ed
the contents of his revolver into it, and
the coroner's physician, DR.. Frey, who
testified that Annis came to his death
from the bullet wounds. Mr.. Robert
said that he would have had time 10
interfere had not T. Jenkins Hams pre-
vented him.
Mr.. Mcintyre asked him if he had
Jenkins Hams at the moment, but be-
fore the question could be answered
District Attorney Dorrin objected.
Prior to his giving his testimony Mr..
Robert was asked to identify the pris-
oners. When he pointed out Captain
Hams as the slayer, and the officer put
his hands over his face and appeared
to be greatly excited. This caused
commotion, for he heretofore has re-
manned wholly unperturbed. Before
going out one of the jurymen demand
ed that additional witnesses be called
but the coroner refused to comply.
After being out twenty-five minutes.
the Jury brought in verdict that
Annis came to his death as the result
of wounds inflicted by Captain Peter c.
Hams. r.. U. S. A, aided and abetted
by T Jenkins Hams, his brother.
McIntyre's Statement.
Before the inquest John F. Mcintyre,
chief of counsel for the Hams brothers,
made the following statement:
In answer to the statement made by
Mrs. Hams that she was made to sign
a confession while under the influence
of drugs, 1 desire to say that my eli
ents and their distinguished father
have told me that there were four
witnesses present when the confession
was made. One of them was a promi-
nent New York lawyer. These Witness
es will testify at the trial. I am also
told that Mrs. Hams talked to several
persons regarding the incidents rela-
ted in the confession some time before
she made it, and these persons will be
witnesses.
when Captain Hams was called
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-08-21

was asked.
Not at all. For a long time Jen-
kins and myself have tried to dissuade
our brother from killing Annis for
the sake of our gray haired father and
mother. Out of consideration for
them our brother restrained himself,
but hnally the strain became too great
and he acted. Peter would have killed
Annis sooner had it not been for this"
That both Captain Hams and his
brother, T. Jenkins Hams. were suf-
fering from some form of emotional
insanity probably will be the defense
offered in their approaching trial.
John F. Mcintyre said on this point:
when 1 visited the accused men in
the Jail I found that Captain Hams
showed evidences of decided mental
impairment. His memory is not clear
and he can only think of the destruc-
ton of his home. Last May, while
Captain Hams was on his way to Ma
Mia, his brother, T. Jenkins, began to
receive anonymous letters regarding
Annis and Mrs. Hams.
"I believe that both brothers were In
state of mental disturbance when
the shooting occurred"

ed his wife regarding rumors he had
heard about her, and he became con-
WINGED that his suspicious We're wrong.
Later, he said, facts developed which
made him demand the confession from
his wife and she made it. Captain
Hams denies that he sent letters to
Annis challenging him to a duel Stor-
les to this effect are absurd. What I'M
