HAYNES BROS.
 JOINTLY HELD
Mystery Clouds Tragedy
 at the Landing
Jenkin T. Haines, Trouble maker, Has a Record as a Gun Man.

New York, Aug. 17.-Of far more interest than the formal arraignment in the police court today of Captain Peter c. Haines, Jr, who shot and killed William r. Annis, advertising manager of the magazine, Saturday at the Bay side Yacht Club landing. while his brother, T. Jenkins Haines, held at bay the crowd of yachtmen who sought to prevent the tragedy, is evidence which came into the hands of District Attorney Darrin, bearing upon the motive for the shooting.
 It established that Captain Haines and Annis were on such friendly terms they went automobiling to- gether as recently as May 29 last. There were two women in the party and the police believe the women were Mrs. Haines and Mrs. Annis. A motorcycle policeman arrested the party for speeding on Ocean Park way. The case was postponed in court and is still on the calendar. The party was in Annis' automobile and the police held Annis in $1OO bail Annis only had $20 and Cap tain Haines stepped forward and handed the prisoner four S20 gold pieces, thus obtaining his release.
 'I also have been told by friends of Captain Haines and Annis that their friendship ceased after a talk Captain Haines had with his broth CT, T. Jenkins Haines." said the dis trict attorney. 'I intend to have T. Jenkins Haines tried as an accessory before and during the fact, as l be- lieve he is as guilty as his brother in writing the letter to Haines that made the latter hurry home from the Philippines to question his wife re- garding her alleged conduct with Annis It was T. Jenkins Haines who prevented any one from stop ping Captain Haines from shooting Annis."
 Another remarkable feature of the case is the friendship which exists between Mrs. Annis and Mrs. Haines. Mrs. Haines called upon Mrs. Annis yesterday afternoon, it was learned today. and remained with her until nearly midnight. Mrs. Annis who witnessed the shooting of her hus- band has been prostrated since the tragedy. It is said she has several letters written by Captain Haines to her husband threatening his life. One of these letters, it is said, was received by Annis the day before he was shot. The letter warned him. it is reported. that Captain Haines would shoot him on sight. Mrs. An his says she does not believe Haines intended to shoot her husband but he wanted to serve him with papers in divorce proceedings.
 General Haines is in New York stopping at the Hotel Astor. so he can be near his son. He was asked today if he had seen his daughter-in- law and replied that he had not. He was told of an arrangement which had been reported as existing, where by Mrs. Haines could visit her chil- dren every two weeks and stated em- phatically that he would not permit her to take charge of the little ones unless his son, Captain Haines. agreed to let her have them. Gen eral Haines declined to discuss the shooting of Annis, saying the law yers advised him not to talk about the case.
 The district attorney was interested when he learned T. Jenkins Haines had killed a man at Fort Monroe, Va, seventeen years ago, and will secure a copy of the court proceed ings to use during the trial. Ned Hannigan was the man Haines kill ed and was his best friend. At the trial of Haines he was acquitted.
 While Annis was at the Bay Side Yacht Club landing after he had been shot. F. C. Rockwell scribbled on an envelope these words: Shot by Captain Peter c. Haines, U. s. A, August 15." This he handed to the dying man and in q firm hand he signed his name
 When Haines and his brother were taken to the police station at Long Island City this morning, his counsel, Wm. c. Percy, asked for an adjourn ment for a week and it was granted. Then the brothers handcuffed to de- tectives, were taken through the streets to a trolley five blocks away, followed by a big crowd. Later the prisoners were taken to Brooklyn po- lice headquarters. The trip was fif- teen miles in a patrol wagon. Photo graphs were taken for the Bertillion system records.
 District Attorney Darrin at the aft ernoon's session announced he would convene a special grand jury in an effort to have the early indictment of the brothers. He says he expects to have them on trial by the middle of September. The coroner's inquest has been set for Wednesday morning. The funeral Of Annis will be held to- morrow morning from his apart ments in Malvern, Claremont avenue.
