RESTS ITS CASE
Evidence in Hams Defense is
Now Being Presented to
the Jury

Flushing, n. Y. May 6.-The de-
Tense had rested its case and the
prosecution was we'll along in exam
lining witnesses in rebuttal when
court adjourned today in the Hams
trial.
Rebuttal witnesses for the state
were principally army officers station
ed at Fort Hamilton and Fort Ham
cock in June. July and August. 1905.
and who had talked with Capt. Hains
at that time.
Their testimony tended to controv-
ert that of army witnesses for the
defense in that all said Capt. Hams
spoke and acted nationally short
time before the shooting on August
10. when the defense contends he was
suffering from manic Oppressive in

The weight OF the army officers

ticnality was partly counterbalanced
by their admissions. under cross-ex-
animation. that Capt. Hans had acted

John F.. Mcintyre. chief counsel for
the defense. created stir By oues-
tioning the army officers as to what
military authorization they had for
appearing as witnesses against Capt.
Hains. He brought out the fact that
Cant. Henry W. Torney of Fort Han
cock had an order signed by Col.
Heistand. adiutant general of the de-
partment OF the east. directing him
to appear at the trial. Mr.. Mcintyre
endsavored to show that other Of
ficers had received the same orders
from Col. Heistand and asked Capt
Torney IL he did not know that i'll
telling existed between the colone,
and the Hains family. Capt Torney
was not permitted to answer. but it

sion. They all testified that the de-
fendant had suffered from manic de-
pressive insanity" since last May, and
experienced sudden attack of "im-
pulsive insanity" which rendered him
irresponsible at the time he shot An
mis-. They declared Capt Hams form
OF insanity was durable, and that his
condition had improved since last
November.
DR.. Clark said the defendant at the
time of the shooting could not dis
tinguish between right and wrong.
On cross-eXamination the witness
said manic Oppressive insanity and
circular insanity, form which is said
to be incurable, are sometimes indi-
Gated by similar symptoms, but that
there is clear scientific distinction
between them.
Rebuttal Evidence.
The witness was excused, and the
defense rested it's case.
DR.. Arthur P. Jarrett, a physician
stationed at Fort Hamilton, called in
rebuttal, said he noticed no irration-
ality on the part Of the captain on
May 81.
Lieut.. Malcolm Peters Andrus Of
Fortress Monroe. Va. testified that
he had known Captain Hains since
1906. He saw Captain Hams the day
after he returned from the Philippines
and talked with him, and noticed
nothing irrational in his conduct.
Several days later the witness said.
Captain Hams came to him and told
him OF his wife's confession. The
witness went to Capt. Hams quarters
and talked and sympathized with him
and promised to help him. The cap
tain appeared cool and rational at the
time. the witness said.
The witness told of other times in
June and July when the defendant
had appeared entirely rational.
On cross-eXamination, MIR. McIn-
tyre drew from Lieut.. Andrus the
statement that Captain Hains was
pale and excited and acted nervous at
the time he visited the witness and
spoke about his wife's confession.
Tell the jury just what Claudia
Hains said to you about her confess
sion," said Mr. McItnyre.
She told me that she had been de-
ceiving Peter long enough, and was
confessing and going to give up
everything and give him good grounds
for DIVORCE" said the witness.
DR.. Harry Houghton of Bay Side.
who attended the dying Annis on the
yacht clubs float. testified that he
saw Captain Hains standing nearby
and he said:
"Of course 1 did it; there can be
no question about that"

of the general federation of labor,
whose affiliated associations, such as
the railroad employees, representing
10000, have in the last two days
adopted resolutions of sympathy. The

firmness made real impression, and
the loyal employees, hitherto silent,
are now making their voices heard in

this evening resolution was adopted,
in reply to the threats of the govern

also was held at the labor exchange.
