EYE-WITNEssEs OF SHOOTING
TO BE SUMMONED.

Flushing. N. Y, Dec. 28.- Evidence
was adduced today at the trial of
Thornton J., Hams, charged with being
a principal with his brother, Capt p.
c. Hains, jr., in the killing of VIM. E.
Annis, which the defense claims sup
plies a reason for the visit of the
Hams brothers to the Bay Side Yacht
club where Annis was shot.
Chas. Raymond Weaver, a sales
agent for the Hams Concrete Mixer
Co, proved to be the days principal
clared that he had induced Thornton
Hains and his brother to go to Bay
Side to look over property instead of
going to Sandy Hook, whittier he said,
the Hains brothers were bound when
he met them on Aug. Is. ..-...
Weaver was permitted to tell Of
Captain Hams mental condition on the
day of the shooting. He, said Captain
Hams looked unnatural and took no
interest in what was going O.. about
him.
Building up Defense.
Flushing, n. Y, Dec. 2S.-The build
ing UP of the defense of Thornton J.
Hains to disapprove the charge that
he was a principal with his brother,
Capt Peter c. Hains, in the killing
of William E. Annis last August at
Bayside, was taken up in earnest to
day before Justice Crane in the su-
preme court. Counsel for Hains has
nearly a score of witnesses under sub
poena, but whether they will be called
is problematical.
The defense Is said to have under
subpoena two eye witnesses of the kill
ing who were not called by the state
Their testimony 1t is said, will tend
to show that Thornton Hams actions,
when Annis was shot. were in defense
of his brother.
May Have Last Word.
Thornton Hams will be the star wit
ness in his own defense. He probably
will not be called until near the last

to the effect that it was TO be obtained
only at certain wholesale depot. The
chemists almost to man sent off to
the depot for the special ingredient
and paid 10 francs for bottle of stuff

MUSIC AT THE zoo.

4 VIOLINIST wen one day to a
~ certain geological garden, and
" asked the keeper of h lion
house for permission to play before the
cages of some of the animals. In one
cage was an old lioness with three cubs.
He first played for them a soft, low
tune, q sort of lullaby. The lioness did
not move from where she was lying, but
the cubs slowly approached the bars of
the cage, and listened as IL entranced.
Suddenly the music leaped from slow
notes to a quick and lively tune, and
the cubs went fairly wild with their
delight. They rolled about, jumped
over each other and their mother, and
manifested every sign of ecstacy. When
the music ceased, they gathered at the
front bars of the cag again n silent
ly pleaded for more The musician
then played the lullaby again, and they
listened as quietly as at first; but when
he quickened his bow into the Jig tune,
they at once resumed their rollicking,
and did not stop until the music did.
How differently did those ~uncanny
brutes, the hyenas, behave! At the
first notes played before their cage,
they began to tremble, and as the music
swelled they sunk away to the far side
of their cage, and tried to squeeze
their ugly bodies through the bars.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 21.-With all
the saloons closed yesterday on an
other dry" Sunday there were more
arrests for drunkenness than on any
other Sunday within six years. That
was because of the traffic in whiskey.
sold almost openly in bottles on the
boardwalk and in almost every street
in the city.
Many men began to circulate through
the crowds early In the day, giving it
out that they had whiskey for sale.
These men quickly became known as
walking speak-easies," from the fact
that they walked around with their
stock of whiskey in their pockets and
spoke in low tones when they APP
preached prospective customers. Not

Many of the circulating liquor sellers

There was no seeming change In the

parties sat and dined in sombre silence,
but 1t was known along the boardwalk
that at a number of the popular re-
sorts persons known to the manage
ment could obtain the kind of refresh
ment they sought.
Not a single saloon-keeper was ar
