to show that all, or nearly all, of the
statements attributed to Thornton
Hams are absolutely false and untrue;
that every shot was discharged before
Thornton was even upon the float;
that Mrs Annis was not in the float,
and that pistol was not pointed at

Opens for the Defense.

Joseph Shay, associate counsel for
Hams, in opening the case for the de
Tense, charged that the evidence of
the state bore every semblance of
falsehood, invention and manufacture
He said that the defense will prove
that Thornton Hains had nothing to do
with the death of Annis, that he had
no thought of Annis in his mind when
he went to Bayside, that he had no
idea that Annis was there, that he
did not know his brother had a re,
volver and Thornton would have pre-,
vented the meeting between his
brother and Annis if he could
We propose to show you that the
brother, Capt. Peter c. Hains, was
mentally unbalanced and what caused
his condition. said Mr.. Shay.
Continuing, Mr.. Shay said: Thorn
ton, realizing that a sight OF Annis TO
his brother probably would mean the
undoing of his mental improvement,
determined to- get away. 1t was then
that he turned to his brother and, TAX
ing him by the arm, said: Come on,
Peter, he is not here. Let's 60 back

defendant, and instantly Birchfield ran

JUDGES RULING

Flushing, l. l., Dec. 2S.-The de-
Tense in the Thornton ]. Hams trial
yesterday received a severe blow
when Judge Crane, in denying mo-
ton to qua-h the indictment against
the defendant, ruled that he might be
guilty of first degree murder, even
should it be proved that his brother,
Captain Hams, who killed Annis, was
insane at the time and, therefore, in.
nocent. After the state had closed
its case Attorney Young moved that
the indictment again1t T. J. Hams
be dismissed. Mr.. Young proceeded
with his argument, taking the posi-
ton that a person charged with being
an aces DRY to the commission of a
crime could not be tried until it was
proved that the principal was guilty.
Ruling of the Court.
Right there | disagree with you,
Judge Crane said Il ho,d that this
man may be guilty of murder in the
first degree, as a proposition of law,
although the man who held the re-
yOlver and fired the shot was not
guilty of murder and was insane.
Il am going to hold that man may
be guilty of a murder committed by a
lunatic if he aided and encouraged

Debatable Missouri.

Looking over political conditions
10 the state a Missouri paper re-
marks: ut is about an even flop
between the two parties and the
one that gets out the vote to the
best advantage, wins" These few
simple words contain the gist of
the situation. The party that best
succeeds in getting together and
bringing its full strength to the
polls will carry the state. To
reach this end organization is need
ed in every city, town, village,
township and neighborhood. In
each of the last three presidential
years the Republicans Of Missouri
have cast over 100000 votes.
Many new voters come forward at
every national election. Probably
there are at least 10000 more Re-
publ cans in Missouri than in 1904.
Many have moved in from ada
cent Republican states to improve
their opportunities in farming and
other occupations. A majority of
first voters has long been On the
Republican side.
The Republicans of Missouri
have nothing serious to quarrel
about in either national or state
politics. ANY of the prominent
candidates mentioned for the Chi
cago nomination will be Il sound
and satisfactory leader, and moth
ing radically new will be introdnc-
ed in the platform. In the state
the Republicans are united ON a
candidate for governor, while the
Democrats are widely divided as
to the nomination for governor,
and form two hostile camps on the
senatorial primary. Yet they re,
ly ON Mr.. Bryan's popularity to
pull them through. But if Mr..
Bryan has lost as many votes in
Missouri during the last eight
years rs between his first and sec
ond battles. he is in Il minority, to
say nothing Of other considerations
that are against him now. Bn,
the Republicans OF Missouri are
sometimes less attentive than the
Democrats to the duty OF voting.
This is in truth the pivotal point
of the state eampaigu.-Globe
