Capitals Convicted of killing W.. e.
Annis Gets lndeterminate
Term ID Prison.
JUDGE DENIES A NEW TEAL
Defendant Seems Overcome BY
Courts Words and Father and
Brother Deeply Affected

Capt. Peter C. Hams. Jr-. q. S. A.,
convicted Of manslaughter In the first
degree for killing William E. Annis
1t the Bayside Yacht Club last Au~
gust, was sentenced Monday by Justice
Garretson in the Supreme Court in
Flushing. L. l.. to an indeterm.aats
sentence OF not less than eight years,
nor more than sixteen years, a hard
labor in States prison.
John r. Mcintyre. counsel for the de-
PENDANT. made the usual motion fer a
new trial on the ground that the yer
dict was against the weight of evi~
dence and also contrary to law JUS
tice Garretson denied these motions,
Mr.. Mcintyre then raised the point OF
Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court over
the defendant, c~ontending that he had
never been released from jurisdiction
fore the case was not properly before
the court. Mr.. Mcintyre also stated
that DR.. Brush. who had been an ex-
pert witness for the defense. had ex-
amined Capt Hams since he was con-
victed and found him insane. Justice
Garretson said there was no evidence
to that effect before the court and he
declined to consider the motion in re-
gard to jurisdiction.
The court clerk then instructed Capt.
Hams to come to the bar and proceed
ed to ask him the formal questions put
IN a vr1n rh4.N - -. IT,
prisoner seemed dazed and seemed to
have some difficulty in understanding
the questions. Lawyers Mcintyre and
Young of the defense stood on either
side OF Capt. Hams and assisted him
in answering the questions of the court
clerk.
Referring to the nature of the case
b e court said that Capt. Hams had
been indicted for murder in the first
degree, the severest crime against So
ciety, and, although there had been a
great deal of sympathy injected into
the case, the law did not allow a man
to punish another for wrong he had
suffered or to wreak vengeance on the
man who had wronged him.
After Justice Garretson had imposed,
the sentence Capt. Hams sat down and
dropped his head on the table before,
him. He seemed overcome with emo
ton for a few moments, but soon re-
covered himself and sat upright. star
ing at the court. Gen. Hams, the de
PENDANTS father, and Maj. John Pow
ers Hams. who were in court, display
ed much emotion. Immediately after
sentence. the prisoners lawyers asked
for a stay OF sentence for a few days
to take an appeal. Justice Garretson
said the case would take the usual
course, and gave the defense twenty
four hours in which to file an appeal.
