FLUSHING, L. L. May 6.-The de-
Tense had rested its case and the prose
cution was well along in examining wit
nesses in rebuttal when court adjourned
today in the trial of Capt. Peter c.
Hams, ir., for the killing of William
E. Annls.
The witnesses for the state were
principally army officers who had been
stationed at Fort Hamilton and Fort
Hancock during June, July and August,
1908. and had met Captain Hams at
that time.
Their testimony tended to controvert
that of the army witnesses for the de-
Tense in that they all said Captain
Hams spoke and acted nationally a
short time before the shooting, while
the defense contends that he was suf-
fering from insanity.
They admitted. however, under cross
examination that Captain Hams had
acted in a nervous and excited manner
and looked pale and worried.
At the opening of court today Dis
trict Attorney Dewitt resumed his
cross-examination of Dr. L. S. Manson,
the alienist. who testified yesterday
that Captain Hams was suffering from
maniac Oppressive insanity at the time
of the killing of Annis.
DIR. Manson was asked if any form of
mental disease would be called insan-
ity. The physician thought it would.
Asked if a man suffering from maniac
Oppressive insanity would be able at all
to plan and carry out his acts, DR..
Manson said he would during periods
of quiescence.
when Captain Hams stood on the
yacht club float al Bayside with folded
arms, looking out over the water, and
then grabbed the boom of Annis' boat
and shot Annis to DEATH what kind of
insanity was he suffering from?" asked
Mr. Dewitt.
with impulsiye insanity" was the
reply.
Were the defendants mental func-
tons in operation up to the time of the
shooting?"
yes"
The fact that the defendant went
through Annapolis and Johns Hopkins
university was certainly not a symp-
tom of Insanity, the witness admitted.

The Rev stephen r. Trowbridge, a
missionary of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions, es-
Inmates the number of Armenians
killed in the province of Adana since
the outbreak of the anti-Christian riot
ing at $4,000. The missionary said to-
day;
"A conservative estimate of the num-
Der of Christians killed in the city of
Adana is 5000. This calculation is made
up from the list prepared by the priests
and other officials who give permits
for burials. Not fewer than 5000 per-
ished in the towns and villages of the
province. This figure is based upon
the full information sent forward by
the British consul.
Surviving Armenians in the entire
province are largely women and chill
dren. They amount to about $4,000
souls and are today without homes,
shops, tools, clothing or bread A most
pitiable and wretched multitude is

tic Action

WASHINGTON, May 6.-At the con-
clusion of a lengthy statement in the
house today regarding his resolution
of inquiry into the official conduct Of
Federal Judges Mcpherson and Phil
lips of the western district of Missouri,
Representative Murphy of that state
announced that be would present for
NAL charges of impeachment.
Mr.. Murphy brought the matter up
as a question of personal privilege.
He had read some newspaper dis
patches to the effect that Frank Ha-
german, attorney for eighteen rail-
roads, had telegraphed the attorney
general of the United States alleging
that the charges in the Murphy reso-
luton were IAN outrageous tissue Of
Misrepresentation by one who has no
knowledge of the facts.
Mr.. Murphy had not proceeded far
when Mr.. Henry of Texas, member
of the judiciary committee, stopped
him with an inquiry as to whether he
did not intend formally to bring In
charges of impeachment.
The Missouri member however, did
not give a direct answer, but eontin-
ued with his recital of the charges
contained in his resolution. He called
on Mr. Rueker, his colleague. to sub
stantiate what he was saying
Mr.. Rucker did so, and declared that
Judge Philips should have been i'm
peached twenty years ago.
Mr.. Murphy denied that the state OF
Missouri had been accorded every
courtesy in the rate cases, as was
stated in Mr. Hagerman's telegram.
The state, he declared, had no knowl-
edge or notice whatever of the first in
junction in those cases
After adjournment Mr.. Murphy no.
titled members of the judiciary commit
tee that he would at once present for
NAL charges of impeachment against
the two judges.

KANSAS CITY, May 6.-"I have
nothing TO say at this time. and will
make no statement until Representa-
tative Murphy formally presents his
charge of Impeachment" said Judge
Philips when shown the Washington
dispatch Judge Mcpherson also de-
clined to make statement.
Later Judge Philips said
/ IF impeachment proceedings are in

tons against me in R legal manner.
