Flushing, Jan. l6.-After reviewing
the evidence for twenty-five hours,

were agreed. the Jury in the trial Of
Thornton jenkins Hams at p. IN.
yesterday found the prisoner not
guilty as a principal with his brother,
Captain Peter c. Hams, Jr., in the

Thornton Hams had an Affecting
greeting with Captain Hams in the
Long Island jail, where he hurried In
a motor car after the verdict to bring
his brother the news Mrs. Hams,
his mother, nearly tainted from Joy at
the news.
Under this verdict it is perfectly
safe for any person who is ingenious
enough to frame up defense 10 go
out and kill. Private vengeance seems
to have taken precedence over the
peoples law" was the only comment
that Prosecutor Darrin had to make
on the jury's return.
Mr. Mcintyre said: Il never worked

find Thornton innocent. When Thorn

officials of the district attorneys

verdict in the case probably means
that Captain Hams will never be
brought to trial, and that he VIII be
surrendered into the care OF his fami-
" or the federal government.
