was sensational incident in the
Hains trial today when Lawyer Nc
Intyre, for the defense, asked the
court to commit for perjury Martin

testimony, in which he said that
Thornton Hams had asked him to
drive behind the stage carrying An
mis- and that one of the brothers had
said; We've got him now" he was
subjected to a severe cross-eXamina-
tion.
Mcintyre asked him If he had not
signed statement in which he
stated that there had been no con-
versation in the cab and that the
name of Annis was never mentioned.
The witness became confused and
frightened and then declared that he
had made that statement but that
1t was false.
The court took no action in the
matter, pending the further exam
ination of Skura.
The district attorney drew from
the witness that when he made the
statement he believed that it for the
newspapers. and that if he had told
the truth it would have been printed
and would have involved him in dif-
ticulty
