HAMS IN HIS own DEFENSE
Story Writer Tells of Shooting Of An.
mis- by His Brother.
WENT TO LOOK AT REAL ESTATE
Did Not Know Captain Had Revolver
Until He Heard shots--Then He
Kent Crowd Away from
His Brother.

FLUSHING, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Taking the
witness stand in his own defense, Thornton
Jenkins Hams, for more than four hours
today related with a wealth Of detail the
story of the shooting Of William L. Annis
and of the o%onjugal troubles of Captain
Peter C. Hams. jr.. that counsel asserts
caused the mental unbslancing Of the army
officer and led to- the killing Of Annis.
When court adjourned Hams direct exam
nation had not been concluded and he will
likely be on the stand all day tomorrow.
Hams told his story in snappy. crisp sem
fences. He showed no signs OF nervousness
and at times illustrated his brothers ex-
pressions and appearance with dramatic
infection of voice and facial expression.
Tie defendant declared that when he went
TO Bayside to look at real. estate on Au-
gust Is he had no idea that his brother was
armed and did not know that Annis was at
the yacht club. He told the jury that all
the shots had been fired by Captain Hams
before he rushed to the float to protect his
brother from John Tonning, the boat man,
and club members, whom, he said, he
| thought would harm the captain. Hams
denied that he pointed a revolver at Mrs.
Annis. The defendant stated that he had
no idea how many shots Captain Hams
had fired and when Charles Roberts, a
club member, picked the revolver up and
the muzzle of the weapon pointed at him,
he drew his own revolver and told Roberts
not to shoot.
District Attorney Darrln said he would
probably take all day tomorrow to cross
examine the defendant.

MEDIA. Pa, Jan. 4-Having spent a
quiet Sunday and rested her nerves after
Saturdays trying ordeal, Mrs. M. Florence
Erb again took the witness stand today in

Catherine Beisel. charged with the murder
of Captain ]. Clayton Erb at the Erb coun-
try home last October. When court ad-
journed Saturday Mrs. Erb was under
cross-examination by District Attorney Nc
Dade, who is attempting to break down
her story that her husband treated her
cruelty and that he was shot and killed
by Mrs. Beisel in defending their lives.
Mrs. Beisel will take the stand probably
tomorrow to tell OF the shooting. which
Mrs. Erb says she did not witness.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 4-The general as
sembly, on call of Governor Harris, con-
vened today in extraordinary session to
consider the election OF a United States
senator to succeed Joseph B. Foraker,
state appropriations, and the proposition
of a new or remodelled penitentiary and
the furnishing of employment for the con-
victs under the Wertz law abolishing con-
tract labor. The anti-saloon league will
ask nothing during the extra session and
the liquor men are Of the belief that the
house at least is against them and they
therefore may make no effort to secure
a repeal OF the county option law which
has made over half OF Ohio dry territory.
An inheritance tax law may be passed
because the revenue has fallen off seOO,O o

fact that one of the jurors was stricken
with the measles Sunday the trial of the
night riders was resumed this morning.
The sick juror, ]. ]. Rosin, was brought
into court and made comfortable in a large
easy chair. The defense called one of its
missing witnesses, Joe Hogg. 1t proposed
to show that Hogg had not urged Mrs.
Morris to perture herself and had not
threatened her II she told the truth. The
state objected because Mrs, Morris was a
witness for the defense and the defense
could not impeach it's own. witnesses. The
court asked for argument on both sides.

The first division of Admiral Sperry's

The remainder of the fleet is to be dis

ranean at Admiral sperry's discretion.
None Of the other Italian ports are to be
visited by the American battleships.
Frequent dispatches came today from
| Ambassador Griscom at Rome indicating
the progress in the relief work. These
cables make it manifest that what is
needed most is money. that conditions are
changing and that no predictions can be
made regarding needs a week from now.
Mr.. Griscom cabled that the committee
organized by him needs 5000 for the re-
lief ship for which he has contracted and
which has been gratefully accepted by the
prime minister.
The committee also can use $4,000 i'm.
mediately in assisting the italian Red
Cross which Mr.. Griscom says Is in q
position to do the best work.
Contributions of money continue to pouI
into the headquarters OF the American
National Red Cross society. Today the
subscriptions amount to $4e, 1853. The larg.
est contributions were:

DAKOTA LEGISLATURE ORGANIZES
Officers of the Last Session Are Re-
Elected.

PIERRE, s.. D., Jan. 4~-(special Tele-
gram.)-The senate caucus met tonight and
the house 'aucus in the morning and the
present holders Of elective and appointive
positions Of two years ago will be back
at their desks with the opening of the
new session. The organization has been the
most quiet and with the least contest over
positions of any for years.
The question of committee assignments
is now the vital one, with the organiEa-
tion selections out OF the way. and the
indications are that In the house Gable OF
LAneoln will again be at the head Of the
appropriations committee; Morris Of Min
nehaha at the head of the judiciary. and
Newell Of Hughes heading the capitol
building and grounds committee.
In the senate Byrne Of Faux will again
head the appropriations committee with
Ewart OF Hughes heading state affairs and
Dilton OF Yankton leading the judiciary.
Most Of the changes in the clerical force
at the state house on account OF new
officers win be in the way OF changes OF
location alone. F. c. Hedger drops out as
deputy auditor and takes b~ookkeeper OF
the treasurer and W. q. Pinckney gets
the deputyship in that department. John
Beibelheimer gets the deputy auditorshiI
and Ezra Issenhuth goes from the position
OF deputy treasurer to bOokkeeper in the
auditors department The secretary Of Hsat'
