Related Killing of Her Husband
,, by Captain Haiw.
Widow Testified That Thornton Hains
Beckoned to Hit Brother When An-
nig' Boat Came Alongside the Float.
Says Thornton Hains Pointed His
Revolver at Her and Told Her to
Get Away or She Would Get the
Same as HerJ-lusband.
Flushing, Dec. 22. The trial ot
Thornton Jenkins Hains reached a ell
piax of dramatic tensity when Mrs.
Helene E. Annis, widow of William
E. Annls. In a deliberate recital last
ing for nearly three hours pictured the
lllling of her husband, as he sat at
Ihe tiller cf his boat, by Captain Peter
C. Halna, Jr.
Mrs. TlalnB neaily fainted a few
minutes before her examination was
concluded. She swayed In her chair,
but qulcklv recovered alter drinking
a glass of water and smelling a vial
of salts.
It was a hard day for the defense
ind counsel for Hains were exhausted
!rom the arduous cross examination
hlch was directed relentlessly toward
:hn state's witnesses in an effort to
ihake their testimony. Thornton Hains
xst mudi of the easy monchalance
:hat has characterized his manner in
previous Besslons. Led from the court
by two deputy sheriffs, the prisoner
appeared dejected and careworn.
Garbed in a black cloth Biiit, and
wearing a wide flaring hat that cast
a shadow over the upper part of her
face, Mrs. Annls made an impressive
figure on the witness stand as she
told In quiet tones her story of Aug.
15 at Bavslde Yacht club. Several
new points of evidence added dramatic
interest to the trial and, the lawyers
for the state declared, make for cer
tain conviction of the defendant.
When Annis' boat came alongside
the float, the widow testified, Thornton
Huins beckoned to his brother and led
the way down the runaway. The
shooting followed within a few mo
ments.
Lawyer Mclntyre sought to discredit
the "beckoning episode," which the
state asserts proves that the author
Induced the army captain to the crime,
and kept Mrs. Annls on this point un
der cross examination for nearly half
an hour. Mains' counsel developed
thnt Mrs. Annis had not told District
Attorney Darrin that the defendant
had beckoned to hiB brother until last
week.
"I rnn down the runway and Thorn
ton Hains pointed his revolver at me.
I turned to go back and he pressed the
weapon against my back, saying 'You
get out of here or you will get the
Bamc.' I run up the runway and look
ing back saw my husband fall into the
water." 1
So said Mrs. Annis In the relating
of her story and this new evidence the
lawyers for Hains struggled vainly to
discredit.
The day was filled with unexpected
incidents. While Sirs. Annls was
testifying Justice Crane cautioned
District Attorney Darrin to pay atten
tion, whereupon Mr. Darrin declared
hn r-.,., v-"a un'ust to him in making
It appear that he was asleep on the
case.

many heavily armed deputies, Frank

legs and tossed his broad brimmed hat
on the toe of his boot.
Many In the crowd surged up closer

forced them back Into their seats.

voice audible all over the room. The
witness recounted many outrages com
mitted by the band and then told of
Ihe murder of Captain Rankin. He
said:
"On Oct. 19 the riders learned that
Rankin and Colonel Taylor were a

and Taylor to dress."
As the rope was put around Ran

tlm: "Do you want to say anything
to the Lord? if you do, say it now
Rankin replied "I have attended to
that."
Just as they pulled the rope, wit
ness said, Bob Hoffman shot Rankin
and Sam Applewhite then said : "I know
he Is dead for I put a load of bicycle
ball bearings into him."

ters 'n Columbus.
Cinclnna - t. 22. Charles P. Taft
left lor Columbus today to open head
quarters from which he will carry on
his contest for I'nited States senator
In succession to Senator Foraker.
Mr. Taft declared that there is no
truth In the reports that President
Roosevelt Is opposed to his candidacy
and that the hitter's denial of taking
part In the contest should be accepted
as final.
Senutor Foraker denounced as false
a report that he hud decided to aban
don the race for senator.
The name of James R. Garfield, sec
retary of the interior, is up a a dark
horse in the race to succeed Senator
Foniker.
From a close friend of Governor-
elect Harmon comes the story that Mr.
Harmon has been approached with an
understanding to the effect that If
he will allow Republican office holders
to remain where they are, certain influ
ences will exert themselves to bring
about such a condition that he may
appoint a Democratic senator who
might serve until next year.
Thaw Cannot Go to Pittsburg.
New York. Dec. 22. Colonel Asa
Bird Gardiner, who argued the case In
behalf of the state of New York, said
that in his opinion the decision hand
ed down by the United States circuit
court of appeals in Philadelphia ends
the chances of Thaw being taken to
Pennsylvania. He based his opinion
on the fact, he said, that the supreme
court of the I'nited States recently
denied the application for a writ ot
error in a somewhat similar cnxa.
