In gay affairs after their marriage.
Capt. Hams is now under arrest for
the killing of VIM. L. Annis, the rich
Clubman.
Here is Mrs. Hams graphic story:

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-John d..
cross-examination before Referee Fer.
riss In the customs house today when
he fatty contradicted testimony which
his right-hand man. Join ID. Archbold
gave before the Hepburn committee
many years ago.
Mr. Rockefeller was led by Frank
b. Kellogg into admitting that the
Acme Oil company was controlled by
the Standard Oil company. After he
had made this admission Mr. Kellogg
read TO him testimony given by Mr..
Archbold In 1879 in which he said
that the Acme Oil company had never
been affiliated with the Standard Oil
company.
When this testimony was read there
was a stir in the courtroom. Attor-
reys John G. Milburn and Moritz
Rosenthal, representing Mr.. Rookie
Teller. began making vigorous objec-
tons. Notwithstanding their objec-
tons Mr.. Kellogg insisted that M
Rockefeller tell him whether he re-
called the testimony given by Mr.
Archbold. He lodged direct reply
and then said that while the Acme OIL
company might not have been owned
by the Standard Oil company it was
nevertheless controlled by the direc
tors of the oil trust.
Mr.. Kellogg then tried to nail Mr.
Rockefeller down to admitting that the
A H., L.. a -,
Standard Oil company. lie managed
TO get an admission that the STANDARD
OIL interests" bought the Acme Oil
company.
Mr.. Kellogg brought out the fact
that up To 1872 three directors OF the
Lake Shore railroad. the president OF
the New York Central railroad. the
president OF the Erie. and shortly after
1872 all of the stockholders OF the
South Improvement company except
three were either official or local
stockholders in the Standard Oil com
rany.
Counsel for Mr.. Rockefeller gave
out this statement today regarding the
probable prosecution OF Standard Oil
officials:
Since 1890 and up to 1907 immun-
ity laws have been enacted in con
nection with the interstate commerce
act. They provide generally and UNI
der the latest changes. that when a
witness IS sworn and testified he is
entitled to immunity Whether a de-
PENDANT who has been subpoenaed by
a co-defendant and testiles is entitled
to immunity has never been decided
and when called by a co-defendant
and he gives testimony TO certain facts
on direct examination and is cross
examined by the government beyond
the scope OF direct examination. has
also not been decided. What the
courts may ultimately say is profile
NAUTICAL as both questions are present
in this case"
