JURY coNvicTS ARMY OFFICER
WHO KILLED HIS WIFE'S
PARAMoUR.
FINDING UNEXPECTED
PENALTY MAY BE PRISON TERM
OF FROM ONE TO TWENTY
YEARS.

Flushing, N. Y.-Capt. Peter c.
Hams, Jr., U. S. A, faces a prison
term of from one to twenty years. De-
spite the testimony submitted by the
defense as tending to show insanity,
he was convicted Tuesday of man
slaughter in the iIrst degree for killing
William F. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club last August.
The conviction came as a surprise.
1t had been expected that verdict of
acquittal on the ground of insanity, or
disagreement would result. No one
was more surprised than District At
torney Dewitt. who had said all he
could hope for was a disagreement.
Quickly following Hams conviction,
his counsel declared they would pro-
duce affidavits to show that the jury
had not been properly guarded during
the trial and upon this allegation will
seek new trial These affidavits
will be submitted Monday, the time
set for passing sentence and for any
motion that the defendants counsel
desire to make.
There will, of course. be the usual
motions to set aside the verdict as
against the weight of evidence and
contrary to law, but the unguarded
jury feature is the only departure from
the stereotyped procedure looking to
a new trial
Daniel OReilly, of counsel for the
defense, said:
There was no evidence in this case
to warrant a verdict of manslaughter.
1t should either have been murder in
the first degree or acquittal on the
ground OF insanity. The jurors were
permitted to roam about the country
in an automobile. and go right to the
verge of the scene of the homicide.
which is clearly against the law. We
will have affidavits to prove that such
is the case and also that the jurors
were permitted to leave the jurisdic-
tion of the county and have been on
government property at Fort Totten,
all Of which will be urged as a ground
for setting aside the verdict"
Unlike the scenes attending the trial
of Thornton Hams, the defendants
brother, who was acquitted of COM
plicity in the same crime. there was
no demonstration in court when the
verdict was rendered.
After the jury was discharged. Ju-
ror Craft said four ballots were taken.
On the first three ballots six voted
for murder in the first degree and six
for acquittal on the ground of insan-
ity. On the fourth ballot the COM
promise of manslaughter in the first
degree was reached
Little consideration was given to
the expert testimony, Juror Craft said.
They believed, he continued, that Mrs.
Claudia Hams had confessed to her
husband regarding improper relations
with Annis and that Annis deserved
his fate, but none of them would con
slider the unwritten law and therefore
the manslaughter verdict resulted.
