work which made IL certain that the
conditions created by the conspiracy
could not endure. One of these forces,
the operation Of which was in evidence

JURY GETS
CONFESSION
What Mrs. Annis Told Her
Husband
Il LOVE BILLY ANNIS"
Testimony Of a Friend About Talks with
Two Brothers--Judge Crane De-
clares Adultery No Excuse for
Murder.

Flushing, L. l., Dec. a0.-The sub
stance of the accusations against Mrs,
Claudia Hams and William i. Annis
was spread before the jury yesterday
morning in the trial Of Thornton j.
Hams at Flushing for the murder Of
William Il. Annis at the Bay Side
Yacht club float on Aug IS.
The story Of the alleged adultery
made its first appearance in the trial
IN singular manner. A friend Of
the Hams family. Samuel Chester Reed
was on the stand ostensibly to substan-
tinte the claim Of the defense that
Capt. Hams became insane last sum-
mer He passed two weeks with the
defendant and Capt. Hams at Bay
Ridge in June, he said. He was called
upon TO tell what the Captain said and
did during this visit and thereupon the
whole story Of Claudia Hams alleged
confession began to come out as part
Of what Capt. Hams had said to the
witness.
The prosecution protested vehement
ly against this indirect admission OF
the alleged relations of Mrs. Hams and
Annis, but Justice Crane overruled their
objections. II was all admissible, ne
said, to show the Captains mental con.
dition ut that time, Just as anything
else that he said was admissible.
"But | win instruct the Jury" and
Justice Crane, "that il is no evidence
that these things told to Capt Hains
or that Mrs. Hams was undutifA."
Then he added twice this significant
remark; "The rule is beyond doubt
that adultery is no excuse for murder"
Nevertheless the jury and everybody
else in the big courtroom leaned for
ward eagerly to hear the first court re-
cital Of the marital troubles of Capt.
Hams. The witness then spoke on at
length, giving in detail the story which
he said Capt. Hams told him in June.
Capt. Hams, according TO the wit
ness, declared that he had learned of
the scandal in letters on arrival at San
Hurrying TO Fort Hamilton,
the Captain me@nis wife and told her
that he had come home to disprove
the scandal; and Annis was invited
down to accomplish this. Then the
next day, at Gen. Hams suggestion, he
began to question his wife as to now
she had reached the mountains where
she said she had spent the week she
had been absent.
Then his wife became confused, and
finally exclaimed ats all true-4 do
love Billy Annis." The confession as
to the operation performed in Manhat-
tan followed. Such was the story
which the witness declared Capt. Hams
had told him.
Under Mr.. McIntyre's guidance the
witness then went on to elaborate the
description of Capt. Hams actions.
"He looked like wild animal" Mr..
Reed stated. His face was distorted
and he kept moaning and exclaiming,

insurmountable. The history of tho
Tsardom has SHOWN conclusively that
the unexpected is by no means the inn
possible in tho Balkans. Before 1885,
prophecy that Bulgaria in that year
would acquire Eastern Roumelia, with
out firing shot would have reflected
badly upon the prophets repute for
sanity. Before October 5th Of this
year, the forecaster who should have
undertaken to predict that Bulgaria
would declare it's Independence of
Turkey without bringing on a Balkan
war, would have been laughed TO scorn
as a dreamer of fantastic dreams. Yet
both events are a part OF the archieves
