When Farman arrived from Paris sew

Today there were few On hand to bid

Gen. Hams Refuses to Talk.

SANDY HOOK. N. j.. August 15.-Gen.
Hams, who il living here at Fort Han
cock. received the news Of the shooting
Of Annis by his son tonight and started
at once for Flushing. He was asked to
make some comment on the motives which
had prompted the act, but declined. to
make any statement. Capt Hams ar
rived only recently from the Philippines
and was detailed for duty at Fort Han
cock. His mother has charge Of the
house detailed for his use at the fort. His
wife IL said to be living in Boston.
Readers Of The Star will remember with
interest the sensational trial in the nine
ties at Hampton, Va, of Thornton Jen-
kins Hams. afterward known as Tony
Hams, brother of Peter c. Hams, jr.
Thornton Hams went sailing of Fort
Monroe with . friend named Hannigan
and shot him. There were no witnesses
to the affair. with the single exception
of Capt. afterward Admiral. Robley D.
Evans, who saw the sailboat hounderinS
about In the water with apparently no one
at the helm.
The boat stayed out in the bay for over
an hour, with Hams and the body OF his
dead friend.
The trial filled the newspapers and at
tracted attention throughout the entire
country. Thornton Hams pleaded self
defense. and his counsel secured an &C.
Quittal after stirring appeal to the jury.

Says Annis Is Innocent.
Mrs. Hams says that Mr.. Annis was en-.
tirely innocent of the charges against him
made by Capt. Hams in his petition, and
that the charge against him is merely in
cidental to the conspiracy against her.
There was never any lost love between
Thornton Hams and myself. said Mrs.
Hams tonight During the early years Of
my marriage he was forbidden to our
house. He was Jealous of the success OF
Mr.. Annis and he attributed the rejection
of many OF his own contributions to the
influence of Mr. Annis. We think that he
has been urging Peter on to do the shoot
ing. Although Capt. Hams has a violent
ungovernable temper. there is a great
deal Of good in him and he would not have
done this II he had not been Influenced
by his brother.
II had no intimation that Capt Hams
was going to shoot Mr.. Annis. and do not
know whether anything has happened
within the last month between them to
precipitate such a tragedy.
Thornton Hams wrote threatening let
tiers TO Mr.. Annis who laughed at him
and paid no attention to them, and can
only explain the shooting at this time by
Peter by the interposition and nagging Of
his brother
