Capt. Hams Shows Effects of Con.
Observation-Disclosures Keeps Nerve.

New York, Aug 24.-Captain Peter C
Hams and his brother, T. jenkins
Hams, We're taken from the Queens
county Jail today and arraigned in the
magistrates court in Long Island City
the former charged with the killing of
William f. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club over a week ago and the brother
charged with being an accessory to the
act
Captain Hams plainly showed the
effects of weeks confinement but his
brother seemed uncOncerned and calm
The brothers were handcuffed together
when brought into the court. An at
torney representing John F. Mcintyre
of the Hams brothers counsel, accom-
panied the accused men, who were
taken to the court on a trolley car by
detectives.
A crowd, mostly composed of women
and children, was waiting at the court
room door to get a glimpse of the
prisoners. Several photographers took
snapshots OF the men as they hurried
into the court.
Captain Hams when led to a seat
bowed his head and seemed on the
verge of nervous collapse.
Captain Hams wore the uniform of
captain of the United States army
John G. Shea Of counsel for the Hams
explained that Captain Hams leave of
absence from his post at Fort Han
cock expired today and that when an
officer returned to duty after a leave
of absence he always wore his uni
form. Gen. Hams. father of the accus-
ed men and Major Hams, their brother
We're in court
John r. Mcintyre, of Hams counsel
informed Magistrate Gilroy that he
and the district attorney had agreed
to postpone the hearing until next Fri
day. The magistrate consented and
the case was postponed. The prison.
ers We're taken back to the Queens
county jail.
Asked the reason for Captain Hams
wearing his army uniform. Mr.. Me-
Intyre said later that the captain had
the idea that he was going back to
Fort Hamilton.
District Attorney Darrin. who is
prosecuting the case. said today that he
did not believe the true motive for
the shooting had yet come out.
Major Hams and one of the attorneys
for the defence endeavored in vain to
induce Captain Hams to remove his
uniform and to discuss the murder af-
ter he had returned to the Jail. The
captain strobe nervously back and forth
in the corridor in front of his cell say
ing you don't understand. My leave
of abserce expires today and 7 must
get back to my post of duty"
Every time the counsel brought UP
the shooting of Annis. the captain
would repeat the performance and
finally his brother and counsel left
him with the keeper, who was trying
to induce him to remove his uniform.
