HAMS DEFENSE
SCORES POINT
Witness Tells of Trip to Bayside-
Takes Blame Himself. In
vited Defendant.

Flushing, N. Y. Dec. 29.-The de-
tense scored two material points In
the evidence developed in the trial Of
Thornton ]. Hams, which the defend
ants counsel assert disproves the
charge that the author was princi-
pal with his brother. Captain Peter C.
Hams, Jr., in the killing of William
E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club,
in Little Neck bay. An exhausting
nesses for the defense left the main
points of their testimony mistaken,
and Thornton Hams returned to
Long Island declaring that the evil
dence proved his innocence.
Testimony that Thornton Hams did
not go to Bayside to kill Annis, but
to look at property, was testified to
by Charles r. Weaver. sales agent
for the Hams Concrete Mixer com
pany, who further declared that it
was at his insistent invitation that
the Hams brothers on Aug. Is post
poned a trip to Sandy Hook and went
to Bayside to inspect real estate
there. Weaver almost sobbed On the
stand when he said that he felt re-
sponsible for sending the Hams
brotf IS en- the journey that ended in
the d, h of Annis. The mental con-
dition of Captain Hams previous to
the shooting was testified by Mr.
Weaver, who asserted that from the
actions OF the army captain he be-
lieved him to be irrational.
The second material point brought
out by the defense was drawn from
John Tierney, a garbage collector,
who said he was an eye witness to
the tragedy. Tierney declared that
Captain Hams had ceased firing be-
fore his brother ran down to the
float, and the defendant did not draw
his revolver until Charles Roberts, a
club member, advanced toward Cap
tain Hams with the captains revolt
yer in his hand. Tierney said that
Thornton Hams did not point his re-
volver at any one on the float, but
called for an officer to arrest his
brother. He did not see Mrs Annis on
the float. A severe cross-examination
did not make Tierney waver in the
essentials of his direct testimony.

FEW CATTLE
Low PRICES
Decemhsr Court Day Was the Slow
est on Record-4very Lit
tie Done.

There was an exceptionally
large crowd in town Monday, court
day, and there was lots of money in
but the live stock that was
offered for sale at the stock yards
was OF the poorest quality that has
been seen here in some time.
There were only aobut 900 head on
the market all told, which is an un-
usually small amount. The heaviest
bunch that was sold only averaged
900 pounds. All that were offered
we're sold; the demand for them was
great and as many more could have
been sold if they were on the mar
ket.
There was only about twenty five
sheep offered, but there was no de-
mand for them and none of them
were sold. The average price for
cattle was 312 to 41acents AS a
rule December court days are always
quiet at the stock yards but this one
was the worst on record. The fol-
lowing is a list of some of the sales
that were made:
w. Allan to b. d. Golf, 10 cattle
averaging $50 pounds for Az cent
J. M. Daniels to Bell Bros, II cat
tie averaging 700 pounds for 3s4
cents.
Willis Allan to Brack Lysle, IA cat
tie averaging 700 pounds for 3%
cents.
Connor and Horton bought of diff
ferent parties thirty-six cattle aver
aging 700 pounds for 4 cents.
Treadway & Holsley to w. H.
Hodgkin, 81 calves for $40 each.
W. E. Little to ]. Hutchcraft,
cattle averaging 700 pounds for 3s4
cents.

Kenney, 10 cows averaging 500
pounds for 3H cents.
]. M. Daniels OF B. d. Golf, 9 cattle
averaging $50 pounds for cents.
W. H. Holton to M. We'll, of Lex

County Superintendent c. A. Tan

ten days in the county Jail. This is
the result of proceeding in the case
Of Miss Stevenson against c. A. Tan

600 in an action for libel growing of
certain portions of a letter sent by
Superintendent Tanner to State Sup

moral character of Miss Stevenson,

A motion for a new trial of the
case has been made by the attorneys
for Mr.. Tanner and has been denied
by Judge Benton. The plaintiff Sc

Judgment but the Sheriff reported

answer to this writ the defendant was
either compelled to pay the judgment,
appeal and give bond to cover the
Judgment, or if he did neither, go to
jail. Mr.. Tanner chose the latter
course. On January 5, he will have

FOG SPREADS OVER
CITY DURING NIGHT
Descends About Nine O'clock and
Does Not Clear Off For Sew
eraI Hours.

A thick fog set in over the city last
night and stayed for several hours.
Although no rainfall was visible, the
streets soon became wet and damp
and walking became disagreeable.
Fogs are caused like clouds by diff
ferences In atmospheric currents.
When one stratum Of atmosphere
meets a colder one it causes a fog.
The fog became so thick last night
that people standing ON the corners
could hardly see the archght at the
other end of the square. The tenn
perature continued to rise and about
8 o'clock in the morning the fog
turned to a slow drizzling rain.

brought before the County Judge to
be Intercepted as to his ability to
satisfy the judgment. If he is found
by the Judge to be financially unable
to respond, he is discharged.
Mr.. Tanners time to appeal the
case has not yet expired, but he
stated that he intended to take an
appeal.
Superintendent Tanner was visited
this morning by "a reporter for The
News IN his quarters at the county
jail. He conversed very freely about
his case and his serving the term in
Jail and seemed perfectly contented
with a-few days of jail life. Mr..
Tanner is occupying one of the new
cells that were recently built and he
is the first one to use it. Everyone
who calls on him writes their name
on book and already there are over
125 names registered. Superintend-
ent Tanner said that he did not regret
his act; that if the same thing had
to be done again he would do it
cheerfully and would feel that he
was only doing his duty.
