final week of the trial of Thornton j.

confident of the outclme. The defense
played its trump card when &c called
the defendant 10 the stand in his own
defense.
In order To properly cross-examine
Thornton Hains, Prosecutor Darrin
spent several hours yesterday at the
aByside Yacht Club In company witls
the club members who have testified
against Hains.
The defense breads the charge OF
Justice Crane. Attorney Mcintyre
and Shay have construed his rulings
as evidences of hostility and they fear
that IN laying down the law In tho
case" he viii swing the pendulum
across TO the side Of the prosecution.
This is likely TO be the case. Justice
Crane Is incensed at the manner in
which the defense has kept hammer
ing on the alleged inhdelity Of Mrs
Captain Peter c. Hains and has pub
llcly insisted he will emphasize TO this
jury that "inndeilty is no defense fos
murder, nor excuse for killing"
When the trial was resumed to-day
General Peter G. Hams. father OF tho
accused, was recalled. Mr.. DarriL
continued his cross-examination OF
General Hams by asking him what hs
