HAMS DRIVEN MAD
AIieniSts Testify That Army
Captain Went Insane.
WRONGS UNBALANCED HIS MIND
Then, After He Had Shot and
Killed William d.. Annis, the
Officers Mental Condition
Began to Improve.
WRONGS UNBALANCED HIS MIND

Flushing, n. Y, May 6.--At the trial
Of Captain Peter c. Hams, Jr, the
jury for nearly two hours listened to
the reading of hypothetical question
containing more than 10000 words
propounded by the defense upon which
three alienists were to predicate their
opinions of the mental condition of
the army officer on Aug. 15 last when
he shot and killed William Il. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht club.
In answer to the hypothetical ques-
ton, which covered all the actions and
speech of the defendant tending to
show irrationality, as put in evidence,
DR.. Samuel L.. Manson declared that
Captain Hains was suffering from ''im-
pulsive insanity at the time he killed
Annis. He had been the victim of
"manic Oppressive insanity" the ply
sician said. from May 81, 1908, the
day on which his wife, Claudia Hains,
confessed to him of her relations with
Annis, up to the time of the shooting.
"Alanic Oppressive insanity" the ali
enist explained, was a form of 'stu-
porous melancholia." subject to 'vio-
lent maniacal outbursts," such as Cap
tain Hains experienced when he shot
Annis.
The period of "impulsive insanity"
DR.. Manson said lasted from the time
the defendant first heard the name of
Annis mentioned on the Bayside Yacht
club float until the last of the eight
bullets had been discharged from his
g.. ,,,tl f1,D -
his victim
Then, according to the alienist, Il re-
lieving "quiescence of mind from "the
pent up mental fury" followed. and
the defendant lapsed into state of
'manic Oppressive insanity" His men
tai condition had improved since that
time, he added.
DR.. Manson parried the district at
torney's searching questions in an ap-
parently learned manner. ana the pros
ecutor was unable to discredit his di-
rect opinion in any material particular.
Only once during the reading of the
hypothetical question by John +. Nc
Intyre, counsel for the defense, did
Captain Hams show flash of interest.
That was when the lawyer read in
dramatic terms the alleged signed con-
fession of Claudia Hams. Then Cap
tain Hams raised himself in his chair
for moment and with widening eyes
glanced at the lawyer.
His interest was only mOmentary,
however, for he quickly sank back into
his usual listless attitude. 1t was one
of the very few times he has shown
any intelligent appreciation of what
was going on around him since the
trial began.
DR.. Albert Brush and DR.. L. p.
Clarke, other alienists, expressed opin-
ions similar to that of DR.. Manson.

WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LOST

Kingstown. St. Vincent, Il. w. L.,
May G.-Captain Collin Stephenson and
the crew of the American whaling ship
Carrie ID. Knowles, long since thought
to have been lost at sea, are still alive
in Il Venezuelan prison.
Elisha Payne. an American seaman,
an escaped prisoner from Venezuela,
has arrived here and laid before the
authorities an astounding story Of the
seizure of the Carrie ID. Knowles at a
Venezuelan port. where she arrived
five years ago in distress, and the in
carceration by the Venezuelans of the
captain and his men. The authorities
here are convinced of the truth Of
payne's story.
The vessel was supposed to have
been lost in Il West Indian storm with
all hands. Some of the men belonged
in st. Vincent. and after all hope was
given up of their return their relatives
put on mourning and the insurance
company paid the claims against 1t on
the assumption that the sailors were
dead.
The story Payne told to the police
authorities here caused great excite
ment. not only because of the serious
ness of the charges against the Nene-
Zuelan authorities. but because 1t
added another to the many tales which
have reached st. Vincent concerning
the high handed methods adopted by
the VeneZuelans under the administra-
ton of Cipriano Castro.
Payne declared that the whaler had
been disabled in storm off the Nene-
zuelan coast and had made port in dis
tress. She was Mt once seized. and the
captain and crew We're made prisoners
and thrown into Jail.
On Jan. ~. 1904. the Carrie u.
Knowles sailed from ProvincetOwn,
Mass. on whaling voyage. Her cap,

nounced that Tewfik paSha would re-
tain the post of grand yizier until
after the investiture of the new sui
tan with the sword of Gilman. The
change is taken to indicate that full
understanding has been reached be-
tween the two groups of the Unionist
party to support Hilmi Pasha.
Notwithstanding the presence of the
troops at Hadjin. the situation there
is desperate owing to the lack of
food and medical supplies. The troops
which relieved the city, under COM
mand of Loutfi Bey, arrived just in
time, as the besiegers had succeeded
in setting fire to a house on the edge
of the city.
The fire spread, but as the breeze
was blowing away from the town only
five buildings were destroyed. A heavy
rife fire was kept up against those
who tried to eXtinguish the flames.
The Mohammedans outside the walls,
who numbered many thousands, push
ed their attacks energetically against
the inhabitants, killing and wounding
many. They We're so eager to get in
oiuC tlC NitS anu IlulueT the Dluce
that they did not observe the approach
OF Loutfi Bey and his men until they
We're close upon them, whereupon the
Mohammedans fled precipitately, car
rying off all the cattle outside the city.
The Christian clergy and the whole
population of Hadjin welcomed their
deliverers with great rejoicing. Colo
mel Loutf visited the churches and
schools and placed guards at various
points. The famine increases day by
day, and starvation faces thousands.
A letter from Harm says that every
man there has been killed Only wo-
men, girls and boys under ten have
been left alive. The churches and
houses were plundered and most OF
them were burned.
The letter, which is from the widow
of Christian missionary, says: "We
have nothing to eat or wear. We are
living on grass like animals. Worse
than this, the Moslems are trying to
force the women and girls to become
Mohammedans. Already some of the
women have been carried away"
At Adana many persons are dying
from exposure, and the necessity for
relief measures is exceedingly press

the imposition of an excise tax on the
dividends of corporations.
An income tax, he believes and al.

only as a last resort. The president
has endeavored to make his position
clear on these points and is more
amused than anything else at the at
tempt of the advocates of the different
