HAMS MISSES TRAIN
ON WAY TO PRISON
Talks Too Long With
Father and Brother
at Station.

NEW YORK. May 1S-Capt. Peter c.
Hams missed his train for Sing Sing
prison today.
Accompanied by a deputy sheriff, he
was brought n er from Long Island
City, TO take the $3.50 local for Ossininz.
where he was 20 be transferred to the
prison. but he, his father, brother, dep
uty, and Lawyer Young got into a con-
versatiOn in the station, with the re-
suit that, when they went TO look for
the train they discovered that II had
been gone five minutes. This most un-
usual beginning was somewhat embar-
RAISING to the deputy to whom the
captain was handcufred. but the cap
tain made no sign either OF annoy
ance or pleasure, simply indicating by
his attitude that ne did not care what
happened.
Handcuffed To Deputy
Handcuffed 10 the deputy sheriff, the
captain crossed from Long Island City
on ferry boat, rode through Manhat-
tan's streets In an ordinary trolley car
10 the Grand Central Station, and It
had been planned before O'Clock he
would be on his way to Ossinning TO
serve his term of eight years for the
murder OF William Z. Annis.
Hams was unaccOmpanied TO the sta
tlon by any member Of his family, but
was met at the station by his father.
General Hams. and his brother, Major
John Hams. They accompanied him to
the prison. a crowd of curious persons
gazed at the convicted army officer on
the ferry, in the car, and at the sta
ton. Captain Hams evInced little in
terest, though he seemed brighter than
any time since his arrest on August Is
last.
Deputy Sheriff Guilfoyle. to whom he
was handcuffed, stated that he had
spent a fair night and eaten a good
breakfast this morning In addition to
the members Of his family, Lawyer
Young accompanied the party to the
prison.
VIII Appeal Directly.
Young has decided that there will be
no application for a certificate Of
reasonable doubt, but that the captain
saau continue to serve his term while
the carrying os an appeal from the con-
viction to the appellate division is in
progress.
1t was deemed best by the family to
take this course, because, should he get
his freedom on baL and later the SEN
tence be affirmed, he would lose nearly
a year, as that time will be REQUIRED to
courts. It is also rumored that General
Hams believed it good policy for the
captain to start serving his term. as. If
the appeal fails, in a couple of years he
expects to be able to circulate a peti-
ton for executive clemency which
might prove successful.
The general has much political indu-
ence, and all Of this viii be brought to
bear to get Captain Hams out Of prison
on pardon, if all other means fail.
