HANS DEFENSE ''
 IS BEGUN TODAY
Counsel For Captains Broth=
 CT Addresses the Jury.
JUDGE REFUSES DISMISSAL

Twenty seven Witnesses In Court
 Ready to Help to Show That Thorn
 ton Hsns Did Not Aid and Abet the
 Captain In Shooting William E. An
 nis-His Lawyer Asks the Jury,
 Was Thornton Hains His Brothers
 Keeper"
 Flushing, N. Y., Dec 26-After two witnesses had given brief final tes'i- mony the prosecution in the trial of Thornton Jenkins Hains for abetting Captain Peter c. Hains in the murder of William F.. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club rested its case today.
 John F. Mcintyre, leading counsel for Hains, then moved Justice Crane for a dismissal of the indictment on the ground that no legal proof had been adduced that Thornton Hains had taken any part in the murder.
 Justice Crane curtly denied the mo- tion to dismiss the case.
 Joseph A. Shay then addressed the jury for the defense. claiming that Jenkins Hains merely accompanied his brother to the Bayside Yacht club in a spirit of fraternal companionship and that he could have done nothing more than he did to prevent the cap tain from shooting Annis.
 Was Thornton Hains his brothers keeper" asked counsel, paraphrasing the question put by Cain after the murder of Abel
 Twenty seven witnesses were pres ent in court ready to testify in behalf of Thornton Hains.
 Thornton Hains expressed himself as being confident of acquittaI. He said:
 'I have just been assured of my tri- umph by some information given me by my lawyers.
 This I know will prove a boomer ang to the state. but the nature of this cannot at present make public
 When Martin Skura, the hackman, was called by the prosecution I felt the keenest interest in what he would say, for as he had testified before I was anxious to see whether in taking the stand the second time he would contradict himself. And that is just what he did
 Several days ago Skura positively failed to identify me as one of the two men whom he drove as passengers to the Bayside Yacht club on the after noon of Aug. 15. At that time he said he could not remember the faces of either of his fares.
 But when he took the stand the second time his memory appeared to have undergone a change He revers- ed his former statement and swore that I was one of the men who had been in his station wagon on that day and that he did see me in company with the captain.
 In the matter of finding the car tridges in the cab he was also very positive about that. but he finally had to admit under cross examination that the package was tied up so small that passengers could not see it."

NATURES LITTLE SHIP.
A Curious Jellyfish Endowed With
Movable Sail

A Curious Jellyfsh Endowed With .
Movable Sail.
While man makes the largest ocean
vessels, nature makes the smallest.
This is species Of jellyfish, found only
In tropical seas, which has sail
The part of the fish under the water
looks like mass Of tangled threads,
while the sail is tough membrane,
shaped like shell and measuring quite
FIVE inches and sometimes more across
The fish can raise or lower this sail at
will.
Wise sailors let this curiosity OF ma
ture alone, for each OF the threads
composing its body has the power Of
singing. the results of which are very
painful and often dangerous. This
power defends 1t from porpoises, alba
trosses and other natural enemies.
1t has no other means Of locomotion
than It's SAIL and when seen skim
ming bravely along the surface Of the
water 1t looks more like childs toy
boat than living creature out in
search Of food.--I.ondon Saturday Re.
