.HAINES KILLS ANNIS
HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED
In new YORK CITY.
Captain Pumps Five Bullets Into w.
E. Annis, a Rich Publisher, for Al
legged Running of His Home-Haines'
Brother Holds Back the Crowd
While Revenge Is Taken.

New Worthwhile his victim cow
cred in fear and his brother, with
drawn revolver, held off throng of
wealthy yachtsmen, Captain Peter G.
Haines Jr. of the United States army
late Saturday afternoon pumped five
bullets into the body of William E.
Annis, rich New York publisher and
the alleged despoiler of Haines' wife,
on the float of the fashionable yacht
club at Bayside, Long Island.
IF any one interferes," said T. Jen-
kins Haines, the brother, who is a
notable author of sea stories, 81 will
shoot him down where he stands. This
is matter between these two men. +"
No sooner had the shooting occurred,
however, than crowd of yachtsmen
made a move as if to attack, but the
sight of the two brothers, back to
back, their white, stern faces and the
CLINT of their pistols was enough No
one came on.
Il am the man; l killed him." said
Captain Haines when the police ar.
rived. He submitted quietly to arrest
and was, with his brother, taken to
Flushing Jail, while Annis, apparently
at the point of death, was rushed in
an automobile to Flushing hospital.
Annis had two bullets in his stom
ach, one in each arm and one in the
left leg. Annis died tonight.
AS soon as the brothers reached
Flushing Jail Captain Haines wired his
father, Brigadier General Peter c
Haines, U. S. A.. at Fort Hancock
"Annis is shot. Come to Flushing
Jail"
The Haines brothers were cool anC
composed on their way to the Flushing
jail Captain Haines said to the arrest
ing officers:
81 have merely done my duty. An!
married man would have done the
same under like circumstances"
One witness said: "Annis, who wa!
moaning family, stretched out on tn,
float, turned to Peter Haines and said
Captain, you have made horrible
mistake Peter Haines hesitated
minute and replied: I may have, bu
l don't believe it, Annis then turne,
to our Swede boatman and asked
John, have they got towards like thi
in your country?
THE others had been trying to ge
some explanation as to the cause O
the shooting from the two brothers
Finally Thornton Haines, who ha
filled a pipe and was comfortabl
smoking, said: I've been trying t
keep him from doing this for som
