evidence to tina effect before the court
and he declined to consider the motion
in regard to jurisdiction.
Hams Is Dazed.
The court clerk then instructed Cap
tain Hams to come to the bar and pro-
ceeded to ask him the questions usually
to be put to a man about to be sem
fenced. The prisoner seemed dazed
and seemed to ave some difficulty in,
understanding the questions. Lawyers
Mcintyre and Young, of the defense,
stood on either side of Captain Hams,
questions OF the court clerk.
In passing sentence Judge Garretson
said the defendant had a fair trial and
mad been defended by experienced law
yers. A jury had found a verdict COM
mensurate with the requirements Of
that any errors Of law a been COM
mitted during the trial. Although there
had been a great deal Of sympathy in
jected into the case, the law did not
allow a nan to punish another for
wrong he had suffered, nor to wreak
vengeance upon the ma who had
wronged him.
After Judge Garerstson had imposed
the sentence, Captain Hains sat down
and dropped his head on the table be-
fore him. He seemed overcome with
emotion for a few moments, but soon
recovered himself and sat upright star
ing at the court.
General Hams, the defendants faith
er, and Major John Hams, who were
in court. displayed much emotion when
the captain was sentenced.
Immediately after sentence the pris-
pner's lawyers asked for a stay of sem
tence for a few days in order to take
an appeal. Justice Garretson said the
case would AXE the usual course and
gave the defense "a u in which to
file an appeal. He then remanded Cap
tain Hams to the custody OF the
sheriff.
Judge Passes Sentence.
In passing sentence Justice Garrett
son said:
THAT any person may assume to be
judge and executioner for a real or
fancied wrong done to him by another,
society cannot approve, and the law
does not sanction. Such a doctrine is
abhprent to all right thinking men and
the practice of it is subversive of mod
ern civilization. In this case, the law
of state has been indicated and the
claim to a right to mete out personal
vengeance has been again condemned
Further is needless.
THE result of this trial is it's own
best commentary"
: The operation of an undetermined
sentence such as that imposed upon
: Captain Hams is so fixed by law that
unless ~pardoned by the governor or re-
leased on some legal point raised by
his counsel, the prisoner must serve the
full length of the minimum term
named. which is eight years in the case
of Captain Hams"
