Acquitted by Jury Of Being
Principal With Brother id
killing Of Annis.
VERDICT is WILDLY CHtERtD
Capt. Hams May Never Be Brought TO
Trial-Jury Was Out Twenty
two Hours.

Flushing. N. Y, Jan. 17.-After re-
viewing the evidence for twenty-five
hours and taking fifteen ballots be-
fore all were agreed, the jury in the
trial of Thornton Jenkins Hams yes
terday afternoon found the prisoner
not guilty as a principal with his
brother, Capt. Peter C. Hams, Jr., in
the killing of William E. Annis. For
the second time in his life Thornton
Hams has been found not guilty of
the charge of murder, he having been
acquitted of murder in shooting
companion named Edward W. Hanni-
gan in an open boat in Hampton
Roads seventeen years ago.
Affecting Greeting of Brothers.
Thornton Hams had an affecting
greeting with Capt. Hams in the
Long Island jail where he hurried in
motor car after the verdict to bring
his brother the news Old Gen.
Hams and wife, who had been anx-
iously waiting to learn the verdict in
the Hotel Astor, heard the news from
their son Thornton, who telephoned
his parents as soon as he left the
court room. Mrs. Hams nearly faint
ed from joy at the news.
Thornton Hams was overjoyed at
the verdict, which came Unexpectedly
and at time when Justice Crane, be-
lieving that disagreement was like
ly, had sent for the jurors to learn
| what progress had been made toward
,, a finding. The former defendant
smiled and tears filled his eyes, and
hurrying to the jury box after JUS
tice Crane had discharged the jurors,
he seized their hands and thanked
, them for their verdict.
Demonstration in Court Room.
Rarely in any court of law has such
a demonstration been witnessed as
that which occurred yesterday after
noon when the jury made known it's
verdict, which came like thunder
bolt The packed court room of spec
! tators rose as one man and cheered
and applauded with such mighty Wig
or that the gavel falls of Justice
Crane on his desk could not be heard.
Before proceeding farther, Justice
Crane ordered the trial chamber
cleared and the spectators put out
in the street After telephoning his
mother and father, Thornton was es-
corted to a local hotel. while throng
of townspeople gave him a continu-
Gus greeting en- route.
Officials of the district attorneys
office in Queens county are quoted
as saying that the verdict in their
! case probably means that Capt. Hams
will never be brought to trial and
that he will be surrendered into the
care of his family or the federal gov

Is Charged by John w. Kern,
Who Was Defeated for
Senator in Indiana.
SECRET BALLOT RESPONSIBLE
Gave Many Representatives the Chance
to Defy the Will of Their
Constituents.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Is. = The
election of R. F. Shively of South
Bend as nominee for United States
senator by Democratic members Of
the state legislature early yesterday
was followed yesterday afternoon by
a statement from John w. Kern, who
was Shively's strongest opponent.
Concerning the secret ballot, against
which Kern made a hard fight, he
says it made possible not only the be-
trayal of constituents by their repre-
sentatives, but all sorts Of treach-
cry, double-dealing and corrupt prac-
tees"
shiveiy was elected on the TWEEN
tieth ballot, after the caucus had bal
loted for five hours. The contest was
a hard fight. Mr.. Kern's statement in
part Is as follows: E
Defy Will Of Constituents.
1T is matter of great regret that
under the cloak of the secret ballot
so many representatives were able to
defy the will of their constituents.
have in mind several counties where
the sentiment for my nomination was
practically unanimous, and that senti-
ment was we'll known to their repre-
sentatives, and yet these representa-
tives deliberately betrayed their peo-
pie and voted for men, who in pri-
mary would not have received hand
full of votes in those counties.
THE secret ballot made possible
not only these betrayals, but all sorts
Of treachery, double-dealing and cor
rupt practices.
More to Say Later.
Il shall have something to say as
to the interests which were back OF
the opposition to me and as to the
stories of double-dealing and double
crossing which are ahoat."
Thomas Taggart declared yester'
day that he took absolutely no part in
the senatorial contest. The Kern
people are not denying this, but they
! declare there was no effort to stop
some things that were being done
, with Taggart's knowledge.
! When shown copy Of the Kern
charges Mr.. Shively refused to make
any comment.
