HAMS JURY
IS COMPLETE

FLUSHING, N. Y, April 2S.-The
jury that is to try Peter c. Hams for
the murder of William E. Annis, his
one time friend. has been finally COM
pleted. 1t took just seven days to Sc
lect the twelve men and in that time
450 talesmen were called and exam
ined. The state is presenting its
case today. The jury is made up as
follows: August Sundling, foreman,
a tailor; George H. Higbee, real es-
tate dealer; Charles Appel, tinsmith; /;
William H. Danton, retired farmer;
Otto Nicholas, lithographer; William
Craft, contractor; Stephen Terhune,
electrician; Henry H. Nilsson, en-
ploye of Cane Electric Elevator COM
pany; Carl G. Schaubluth, insurance
agent; Charles F. Eisenhoffer, music
teacher; Emil Lefner, printer; Jacob
Knecke, garment cutter.
All of the jurymen are married with
the exception of Nicholas, who is
twenty-seven years of age and the
youngest man in the jury box. The de
fense has fought all along for married
men. Captain Hams has remained
silent throughout the proceedings. His
lawyers contend that he is insane now
as he was, in their opinion, for months
before he killed Annis. According tt
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel fol
the defense, witnesses will be called
to show a hereditary tendency of n
sanity in the defendants family.

Russia Is Anxious.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 27-The
Russian government is far more anx-
ious over the occurrences in Asiatic
Turkey than over the political event
at Constantinople, for it is feared the
rioting and massacreing east of the
Bosphorus may bring about the neces-
sity of foreign intervention. This
question has not yet been raised, but
there is noting to guarantee that 1t
will not come up in the immediate
future.
According to the latest advices re
ceived here from Constantinople ii
would appear that the adherents ol
the old regime in Turkey are deter
