WRIGHT BROTHERS
BACK FROM EUROPE
Say Contracts Will Keep Them
Busy For Some Time.

New York, May 12.-Wilbur and Or.
vile Wright, the American aeroplan-
lists, returned from the scenes of their
European triumphs aboard the North
German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin
Cecilie. They were about the shyest
and most retiring heroes that New
York has welcomed in many a day.
Both the brothers looked well and
appeared to be glad to get back. They
were accompanied by their sister, Miss
katherine Wright, who made three
fights at Pau recently and said that
she was not scared bit by her ex
perience.
The brothers had little new to say to
their interviewers. Summed UP In a
few words, they said they had signed
contracts enough to keep them busy
until they could get back to Europe
and sign more; that about sixty of
their aeroplanes were now in process
of construction, and that officials of
certain European military powers had
asked them to demonstrate that their
flyers can be driven safely out of the
range Of rife fire.

PENALTY ONE TO TWEhTYYEARS

Counsel FOR Defense Will Ask For a
New Trial or Ground That Jury Had
Not Been Properly Guarded During
the Trial.
Flushing, ". r., May 12.-Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jrs U. g. A., faces a
prison term Of from one to twenty
years. Despite all the testimony sub
mitted by the defense as tending to
show insanity, he was convicted of
manslaughter In the first degree for
killing William E. Annis at the Bay
side Yacht club last August.
Quickly following the young army
ohicer's conviction, his counsel an
nounced that they would produce afr
davits to show that the jury had not
been properly guarded during the trial,
and upon this allegation will urge that
new trial be granted. These affida-

CAPTAIN p. G. HAMS, JR.
Wits will be submitted on Monday, the
time set for passing sentence and for
any motions that the defendants coun-
sci desires to make. There will, of
course. be the usual motions to set
aside the verdict as against the weight
OF evidence and contrary to law, but
the unguarded jury feature is the only
departure from the streotyped proce-
dure looking to new trial
Daniel O'Reilly. of counsel for the
defense, said:
Jury Permitted to Roam.
"There was no evidence in this case
to warrant verdict of manslaughter.
1t should either have been murder in
the first degree or acquittal on the
grounds of insanity. The Jurors were
permitted to roam about the county In
an automobile and go right to the
verge of the scene of the homicide,
which Is clearly against the law. We
will have affidavits to prove that such
Is the case. and also that the jurors
were permitted to leave the jurisdic-
ton of the county and to have been
on government property at Fort Tot
ten, all of which will be urged as a
ground for setting aside the verdict"
No one was more surprised than
District Attorney Dewitt, who had said
all he could hope for was a disagree
ment.
AS he heard the decision of the
Jurors Hams face was as white as
chalk. He stood for few moments
motionless. staring at the jury after
he heard the verdict A few moments
later, apparently little affected by the
verdict. he walked from the court
room with steady stride between his
two lawyers and was taken back to
the Queens county jail.
In striking contrast to the demeanor
of the prisoner was the grief of his
aged father, General Peter c. Hams,
and his brother, Major John Power
Hams. For a minute they sat as IL
dazed then broke down and wept. The
captains aged mother who was such
a pitiful figure in court during the
trial. was not in court, having return.
ed to New York. General Hams, how
ever, quickly communicated the YER
