ANACOSTIA AND VICINITY.

Local gunners who have visited the
Eastern branch marshes in that territory
where cunning is not prohibited under
the current regulations have been sur
prised to find the birds so numerous at
this early date. This is especially true
of the blackbirds. which visit the marshes
hereabouts each day in large numbers.
The marshes near the asylum, in which
district cunning is prohibited, are al
this time the feeding grounds for nu-
merous hocks of the blackbirds and it is
predicted that when the season opens
next month there will be no lack Of
sport on the river. at least for the early
portion Of the season, before the birds
become too wild through constant shoot

HAMS ORDEAL BRIEF
District Attorney Promises
Swift Justice and Fair Trial.
NO THAW CASE INCIDENTS
'sBrainstorm" Defense Not Tolerated
by Queens County Jury.
BROTHER JOHN APPROVES DEED
Declares Thornton Tried to Prevent
Vengeance-Corone Jury's
Verdict.
BROTHER JOHN APPROVES DEED

NEW YORK, August 2O.-District At
torney Darrin of Queens county. who has
charge Of the prosecution Of the Hams
brothers, in connection with the killing of
William E. Annis, announced today that
Queens county would not tolerate great
expenditure of money in trying the case,
and that there was no necessity for a
long drawn-out trial.
Darrin continued:
1.-THE trial of the Hams brothers will
not be a repetition of the Harry Thaw
case To begin with, 1 do not think a
Queens county jury will stand for a
'rbrainstorm'' defense.
1.-The application which have sent to
Gov. Hughes asking for special grand
jury will, I expect. be granted. and that
the governor will name judge to pre-
side who will see that the Hams brothers
have a fair and impartial trial, but at the
same time with no unnecessary delays.
IT expect to be ready to try the case al
the earliest date that can be fixed for the
trial. which may be some time in OctO-
ber."
Brother John Approves Deed.
Mai. John Powell Hams, brother OF
Capt. p. C. Hams. jr., slayer of w. f.
Annis, who has come on from Chicago to
stand by his brothers. made statement
before the inquest yesterday. He was
asked if he thought his brother was justi-
fed in shooting Annis without giving him
a chance to protect himself
81 can best answer that question by re-
calling an incident that happened to me
at Fort Riley" he said. Il was about to
mt on my boot one morning. when
found q snake in it. I quickly drew my
revolver and shot the snake. 1t Is the
same with my brother: L do not believe
he should have given Annis chance
"Knowing what you do of the case
would YOU do the same thing?" he was
asked.
II most certainly would" he answered
emphatically.
as IL true, as the district attorney says
that your brother, Thornton Jenkins in
stigated the shooting?" he was asked.
mot at ALL" he replied. For a long
time Thornton and myself have tried tt
dissuade our brother from killing Annis
for the sake of our gray-halred father
and mother. Out of consideration fol-
them our brother restrained himself.
'.FinaIly the strain became too great
and he acted. He would have killed An
mis- sooner had it not been for this
Dual Emotional Insanity.
That both Capt. Hams and his brother
IT Jenkins Hams. were suffering from
some form of emotional insanity viii
probably be the defense offered in thei
approaching trial
John F.. Mcintyre said on this poin
last night: =,
when 1 visited the accused men in th'
Jail this morning I found that Capt
/ Hams showed evidences of decided men
tai impairment. His memory is not clea
and IN. can think only of the destruction
of his home. Last May. while Capt
| Hams was on his way to Manila. hi
