south, died at her home in this city

appreciation, and she soon became rec

When the civil war broke out. her

little time for writing. She spent
much time in the camps of the south

nursing the wounded

MAKES A Scene
AT HAMS TRIAL
Mother Embraces Her Son at
Trial for His Life at
Flushing.
CLOSING PLEA is MADE
Counsel fer the Defense Says Shoot
ing Was the Act of God Not
Planned by Man.

Flushing, n Y, May 10-John F.
Mcintyre, counsel in chief for Peter
Hams. Jr, on trial for killing William
E. Annis, today began the closing plea
to the jury. There was an affecting
scene when the defendants mother
came into court just before the pro-
ceedings began. She walked to where
Hams was sitting and caught him in
her arms.
The prisoner half arose from his
chair, and mother and son embraced
until she was led away by Major
Hams, her other son.
Claims God Did 1t.
In opening his plea, Mcintyre said :
1T was the act of God that directed
Hams hand when he took the life of
the man who had ruined his home.
The meeting between Annis and Hains
was accidental. There was no inten-
tion to kill
