VIRTUES in HIS CHAIR.
Thornton Hams VisibIy Affected by
District Attorneys Address.

Flushing, n. Y. Jan. 14.-MarshaI-
ling the evidence in the trial of
Thornton J. Hams, the states attor-
new today resuming his closing adj
dress, bitterly arraigned the defend
ant and his brother as two towards
that had followed Mrs. Annis down
to the float that they might shoot her
husband before he would be warned.
Thornton Hams writhed in his chair
under the scorching fire of the
prosecutors sarcasm and frequently
turned his face away from the jury.
Mrs. Annis wept while the states at
torney told how her husbands charac-
ter had been besmirched and she
swayed in her chair as Mr.. Darrin, his
voice ringing with emotion, said:
From now on there will be no
more criminal trials where a dead
husbands character will be dragged
into the mire of unjustified denuncia-
ton and a womans honor assassinated
by two towards who have done to
chivalry for these two gentlemen
The states attorney attacked the
plea of insanity that had been made
with regard to Captain Hams, saying
that it was the plan of counsel for the
defense to endeavor when the cap
tain comes to trial to show that he
had recovered his mental balance
within two months after the killing
of Annis.
Captain Hams" said Darrin. ''was
sane enough to stand there on the dock
with his arms folded across his weapon
to conceal it; he was sane enough, when
he heard the name 'Annis' and saw his
brother beckon to run down on the
float; he was sane enough to point his
gun at Harway and realize that he was
not the man he wanted: he was sane
enough to continue firing as AnniS
walked along his boat. and he was sane
enough to know that he had commit
ted his act in the presence of a score of
witnesses and remark of course I did
it, There Is no doubt about it,
Justice Crane took an early recess,
stating that he desired to give the case
to the jury this afternoon. Darrin said
he would conclude his address as soon
as possible.
During recess counsel for the de-
tense said that they had learned that
an old sea captain, recently returned
from Belgium, had appeared at the dis
trict attorneys Office and stated that
he had seen the shooting while an
chored in his boat in Little Neck bay
last summer. Hams lawyers state that
the district attorney sent the old cap
tain away and that they intend to in
vestigate his story. 1t is not likely that
the eleventh hour witness, as he is de-
scribed by officials of the district at
torneys Office, will be permitted to in
terrupt the trial.

His name is Moore, and he halls from

he has been in the senate, he has
made friends with a large number of

The work of constructing the booths
in the Auditorium for the Midwinter ex-
position which opens Monday afternoon
was completed last night and the work
of decorating them will be completed as
fast as an efficient corps OF workers can
do it. There was days delay in com
mencing work on the booths on account
of the Auditorium being used for the
inaugural ceremonies Monday and it
was thought that another day would be
required to do the work
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-01-14

Secretary Banter was fortunate in
securing a large force of workmen and
now the booths are in shape for the dec
orators and electricians who will add
their handiwork to that of the car
penters. Hundreds, yes thousands of
yards of Egyptian orange and white
bunting are on hand and there will be
an abundance for every object for which
it is desired.
Some of the local exhibitors are al
ready at work on their booths and the
indications are that everything will be
in readiness for the opening day, with
hours to spare. The carpenters are busy
today with the finishing touches which
the stage is to receive but they will
have completed their work by early Fri
day morning.
FIfty-two booths have been assigned
to exhibitors this year and all but three
of these are for representa- tives of local
concerns who promise to eclipse all of
their past efforts in decorations and
displays. More booth space could have
been disposed of had it been available
and a number of out of town concerns
were refused space because they applied
late and none was available when their
requests were received
Secretary. George w. BANTER is well
pleased with his efforts to obtain
vaudeville attractions and promises
that these attractions will be as fine
as have ever been seen in any part of
shape for the opening" said Mr.
Banter, .'and we not only expect rec
ord breaking crowds but we will be
in shape to offer attractions such as
have never before been offered in To-
peka.
1.-THE exhibits will also be up to the
past standards and in many instances
they will surpass all past efforts. To-
peka has dozens of manufacturing in
situations of which the public knows
but little and the Midwinter will
afford an opportunity for these people
to meet their customers and show
their products to the very best ad-
vantage

be ideal, for warmer weather is
scheduled for the near future and II

disease, Negrotis-Democratis. Up to
recent date, he has faithfully perform
ed the duties of a Republican, by per-
hitting the Colored Brother to ex-
pectorate in his ear to the exclusion
of real business, and otherwise de-
meaning himself as a true and loyal
Republican.
Alas, the fall from grace. Within
the past turn Of the earth, he has
previously offended the seIf-appointed
Representative of the CuIlud Folks, to-
wit: Nick Chiles, of Topeka. Imagine
the feelings of this co1ored patriot,
who has been accustomed to the wrapt
attention of local politicians for many
years, when the autocrat of the House
spoke feelingly of a desire to kick the
patriots spine through the top of his
derby. The delicate nerve (used with
a reservation) of Mr.. Chi1es is shat
tered. 1t is too bad that Mr.. Dolley is
not a corporation, SO that Mr. Chiles
might sue for damages on the grounds
of nervous shock.
The destruction of that landmark,
the Copeland hotel, will be regretted
from Boston to Frisco. The place was
historic, and a history -incu bator,
where great ideas have been Matched.
