ton. We ask the hearty cooperation
of all citizens in honoring our moth
ers.

way show his kind regards for the
one very popular person, his mother.

MOTHER OF CAPT.
HAMS CHIEF
WITNESS
Aged Woman Goes Through
Pathetic Ordeal
BROKE DOWN REPEATEDLY
Hypothetical Question in Regard to
Defendants Insanity Contains
10000 Words.

Flushing, May 5.--Mrs. Virginia
jenkins Hams, mother of the defend
ant. concluded her testimony yester-
day afternoon after a trying and path
etic ordeal on the stand in an effort
to save sher son, Peter c. Hams Jrr
on trial for the murder OF William h.
Annis Now that father mother and
two brothers OF Captain Hams have
testified. the trial will soon reach the
"alienist stage" The defense has
but two more lay witnesses to exam
inc and as this will be done tomorrow
the five alienists retained to show
that the young army officer is insane
will probably testify on Thursday.
Feeble and on the verge of nervous
collapse, the testimony of Mrs. Hams
who is 50 years of age, her references
to her boy" and her pleading to be
allowed to tell everything she knew
made the most dramatic incident of
the trial so far She broke down and
sobbed convuisively throughout her
direct examination by John f. McIn-
tyre, chief counsel for the defense and
when District Attorney Dewitt started
his cross examination the strain prov
ed too much for her mothers heart.
She sank into the witness chair and.
covering her face with her handker-
chief, sobbed bitterly. AT this point
Mr. Dewitt promptly announced that
he had concluded the cross examinat-
ion and the old lady was taken from
the court room.
Both the defense and the prescott
ion were as gentle with Mrs. Hams as
possible. but besides the strong feel
ing she exhibited while telling of
scenes between herself and her ac-
cused son after his marital troubles,
she frequently broke into hysterical
weeking when Justice Garetson was
compelled to admonish her with in.
structions to refrain from INTERPRETING
her own impressions into the testi-
mony 1t was then that she pleaded
with the court to let her tell every
thing for the sake of her boy"
The hypothetical question In regard
to Captain Hams sanity which will
be submitted to the alienists contains
ten thousand words and will require
an hour and a half in reading.
A number of Witnesses were called
before Mrs. Hams took the stand The
substance of their testimony was to
show the alleged iTrationality of the
defendant as they saw it.

CAN'T GET MR.. JOHNSON
Famous Piekpocket Not to Be Brought
from Oklahoma

ITOH OkldnOna
North Adams. May 5.-Chief Dineen
yesterday received a letter from Dis
trict Attorney Taft, conveying the in
formation that eXtradition papers can.
not be issued for the return 10 this
state from Enid. Oklahoma, of Alfred
Johnson, known as Big" Johnson,
who is wanted to answer to charges
of larceny by means of pickpocketing
in this city last September. He was
arrested at Enid as a suspicious char
acter and Sheriff Campbell is willing
to turn him over to Chief Dineen.
AS will be recalled Johnson and
Frank Lane were held for the grand
jury on larceny charges alleging pick
pocketing in this city They were
released on bail, but defaulted at the
January sitting of the superior court
AS result of his connection with the
case of StOneham man, who acted as
their bondsman, had a perjury charge
preferred against him.
The reason District Attorney Taft
advances for the extradition papers
not being granted is that inasmuch as
Johnson jumped his bail, 1t devolves
upon his bondsman to effect or lose
turn to the superior court, or lose
whatever money he put up as bail. In
District Attorney Taft's opinion the
expense of securing Johnson's return
from the west should not devolve up
on Berkshire county He will un-
doubtedly be given his freedom at En-.
id.

pose of storing apparatus, tools and
other property. 1t is understood that
K. b Godfrey will sell or lease to the

box shop on Main street for this pur-
pose The first steps toward depart
ment building grew out of proposal
10 renew the lease of the Tiffany hose

also Clerk Hogan and Village Presi-
dent Martin, the latter occupyiny the
chair.

tee Nash aking the ground that the
village should buy land for this pur-
pose. The matter was finally turned
over to a committee consisting of
Trustees Nash, Schwartz and Moore.
A petition with many signers was
presented to the board asking for the
location of hydrant in the Moon
bridge district, but no action was ia
ken as the trustees found that they
were not thoroughly posted in regard
TO the franchise and contract with the
water company.
A petition for a sewer on Washing
ION street extension was presented
and A. w. Varney, one of the signers,
appeared before the board in behalf
