HAMS GOES TO PRISON
FOR AN INDEFINITE
SENTENCE
Slayer of AnniS This Morning
Sentenced to the Pen
ltentidry at
Flushing.
MURDERER DAztD
BY THE DECISION
He Was Unable 10 Understand
Questions Asked by the
Judge and Lawyers
Assisted in An
sWering

Flushing, n. Y, May 17.-Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jr., who was convict
ed of the murder of William f.. An
mis- at the Bayside Yacht club last
August, following an alleged undue
friendship between Mrs. Hains and
Annis, was sentenced to an indeter-
inmate term in the penitentiary from
s to 16 years oy Judge Garretson this
morning
The prisoner seemed dazed and
unable to understand the questions
put to him by the judge. Lawyers
stood on either side of him and help
ed him answer the questions.
Judge Garretson, in pronouncing
sentence, said that the prisoner had
a fair trial and that he had been de-
Tended by experienced lawyers. AL
though there had been much sympa-
thy injected into the case, he said, the
law did not allow a man to punish
another for the wrong suffered at his
hands, or to wreak vengeance on the
man who wronged him.
After the judge had pronounced
sentence, Hams sat down and drop
ped his head on the table. He seemed
overcome for a minute then sat star
ing at the judge. Judge Garretson gave
twentyfour hours in which to make
an appeal, and the prisoner was turn
ed over to the sheriff.
After Hams had been taken to
jail, Attorney Mcintyre said ne had
not decided whether or not to appeal.
He said he would apply to the federal
court and ask a writ of habeas cor
pus on the ground that the conviction
was unconstitutional. He declared
that Hams was never in the jurisdic-
ton of the court and being an army
officer, he should have been tried by
federal court
