FLUSHING N Y, lar 5.-Thornton ].
Hams today faced the severest ordeal OF
his trial. when, after concluding his direct
examination, he underwent cross-examina-

was questioned on every point Of his story
by which he hopes to clear himself OF the
charge Of being a principal with his
brother, Captain Peter C. Hams, jr., in the
killing of William r Annis.
Thornton Hams gave every indication Of
confidence in himself today when he re-

but other than some disconnected utter
ances he could not recall what was said by
his brother.
