INSANITY NOW
This Was Mental Condition of
Hams When He Commit
ted Murder

Flushing. n. Y. May 6.-The ex.
animation of expert witnesses for the
defense was expected to be conclud.
ed today in the trial of Capt. Peter C.
Hams. Jr.. for the killing of William
r. Annis. At the opening of the
court, District Attorney Dewitt re.
sumed his cross-examination of DR.
l.. S. Manson. alienist The district
attorney explained to the court that
he did not consider DR.. Manson had
the qualification as an expert. Asked
If man suffering from maniac de-
pressive insanity would be able at all
to plan and carry out his acts. Dr.
Manson said he would during the pc
riods of quiescence. Asked about the
examination the witness made of
Capt. Hains in September. DR.. Manson
said the defendants face was blank,
that he refused to answer questions,
and was greatly depressed.
During the cross-examination of the
first alienist, DR.. l.. Samuel Manson,
forms of insanity ranging from ordin-
ary melancholia to the rawlings of a
hopeless lunatic. were discussed. The
-,
at times appeared to be lost in the
weird make of psychical phenomena.
In answer to the hypothetical ques-
ton which covered practically all the
actions and speech of the defendant
tending TO show irrationality as put
in evidence. DR.. NlaNEon declared that
Capt. Hains was suffering from i'm
pulsive insanity" at the time he killed
Annis. He had been the victim of
manic Oppressive insanity" the day
on which his wife. Claudia. is alleged
to have confessed to him of her re-
lations with Annis. up to the time of
the shooting.
Manic Oppressive insanity" the
alienist explained. was form of
stuporous melancholia." subject to
violent maniacal outbursts.' such as
Capt. Hains is alleged to have eX-
perienced when he shot Annis. The
period of impulsive insanity" the
witness 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 into the
body of his victim. Then. according
to the alienist. a relieving "quiescence
of mind" from the "pent up fury" fol-
lowed. and the defendant lapsed into
a state of manic Oppressive insanity"
His mental condition has improved
since that time. he added
DR.. Manson was still on the witness
stand under CROSS examination when
court adjourned. He had parried the
district attorneys searching ques-
tions in apparently learned manner
and the prosecutor was unable to dis
credit his direct opinion in any ma
terial particular.
Only once during the reading of the
question by ohm f. Nc
Intyre. counsel for the defense. did
Capt. Hains show a flash of interest.
That was when the lawyer read in
dramatic terms the alleged signed

ing, and that his dissipation kept the
family poor.

family poor.
The boy has recently worked for a
couple of years for the New Mine
Sapphire Sndicate near Utica, and
since that property shut down he has
been employed by various ranches
when he was not working on his faith
ers ranch. Neighbors of the family
state that the boy has practically sup
ported his parents and sisters for
several years.
When interviewed about the affair
yesterday, Kivinen told substantially
the same story as that told by him at
the inquest. He stated that his faith
er had been growing uglier recently,
and whenever he got to drinking he
beat and abused his wife and daughter
and frequently drove them out of the
house on the prairie. He stated that
he had not been able to live with his
parents at times because of his faith
ers temper, but recently, he said, he
had stayed at home because he was
afraid that his mother and sister
would be killed.
IF had not killed him, he would
have killed me-" he declared, land il
he had killed me he would have killed
the rest. l knew that, and that was
why I didn't dare take a chance"
The most damaging evidence
against the boy is probably the fact
that he was standing at distance of
about twenty-eight feet from his faith
er when he shot him. The elder XVII
men, however, was armed with a big
pocket knife, and he was an immense
ly powerful man, weighing 2O9 pounds
and being very muscular. Undertaken
J. S. Cook, who took the remains to
Belt for burial, stated that Kivinen
was one of the most powerfully built
men he had ever seen.
The Kivinen family came from
Finland to the United States about 10
years ago. and they have since lived
in Cascade county. The elder Kivinen
worked at Neihart in the mines and
had ranch near Belt for some years.
He moved to Spionkop about year
ago. Elmer, on reaching the age of
81 years last October, filed on a home-
stead adjoining his fathers ranch.
Whether preliminary hearing in
the case will be held or whether an
information will be filed direct against
young Kivinen has not been announc-
ed by County Attorney Speer. Attor-
ney w. o. OLeary has been retained
by friends of the boy in his defense
and will represent him in the future
proceedings in the case.

Won BUELoW TO QUIT
German Chancellor Intends to Resign
Before Whitsuntide Recess,

Berlin, May 6.-The Neue Geselles-
chaftliche Correspondent, which has
excellent official sources of informa-
ton, announces that Chancellor Won
Buelow intends to resign before the
Whitsuntide recess, unless the finan-
cial reform plans of the government
are adopted. The emperor will return
here on May %. and the chancellor
will have an audience with him as
soon as possible after that date, in or
der to hand in his resignation, which
he will insist must be accepted.
Prince Won Buelow's decision, it is
understood. grows out Of the action
of the finance committee of the reich
stag, which few days ago voted in
favor of taxing the accrued values Of
real estate between one sale and an
other, as substitute for the govern
ment's proposal of increased death
duties, and showed opposition in other
ways to the governments tax plans.

PUBLIC JUDGMENT WRITTEN
IN CONGRESSIONAL JOURNAL
An Agitation Will be Started at Once
for Campaign for Revision in Ac.
c0rdance With Pledges-No Cesa.
tion Till Result is Obtained.

Washington, May 6-Predicting that
the failure to pass the tariff bill pro-
viding lower duties on imports would
provoke a political contest for anotfl-
er revision of the tariff, Senator Cum
minis of Iowa delivered notable
speech in the senate today.
"The bill now before us, which it
may be assumed, presents the views
OF the finance committee respecting
the revision of the tariff" said Sena-
tor Cummins, will not be accepted
by these who have favored a revi-
sion of the tariff as either the fulfill
ment of the party pledge or as a set
tlement of controversy. If this bill
or anything substantially like it, be-
comes a law, l predict that a CAM
paign for lower duties will begin the
moment the extraordinary session of
congress adjourns and will continue
with increasing zeal until the judg-
ment entered in the court of public
conscience is also entered in the
journals of congress-"
here was no question, he said, that
the Republican party had promised
revision under the demand for lower
duties. The people, he said, have
seen the forces of competition gradu-
ally weakened in the larger fields of
industry through the concentration
combinations, agreements and "all
other modern mechanism which an
ingenious age has discovered.

Of laughter when he answered the
question as to where boys go who
do not tell the truth, by saying, "they
go to hell" In his boyish way he
told the story of the man who said
his name was Jones, calling for him
with buggy at school and telling
him he had been sent to take him
away on account Of the smallpox.
that he was to take others also, and
that Billy would meet his friends on
