THORNTON HAINS GIVES DETAILED
STATEMENT ABOUT ANNIS KILLING
Declares His Father Turned Captain Peter Hains Over
to His Keeping Because He Feared Family
Trouble Might Cause Son to Suicide.
New York, Nov. 7.—Thornton Jen-
kins Hains in his cell in the Queens
county jail today made a statement in
which he gave additional details of the
circumstances immediately preceding
and leading up to the murder of W. E.
Annls by Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr.,
at Bayside, L. I.
Thornton Hains was present at the
time of the shooting and is charged
with having assisted his brother in the
commission of the crime by holding
off, at the point of a revolver, mem-
bers of the Bayside Yacht club, who
had attempted to go to the assistance
of Annis. Both brothers are under in-
dictment for murder in the first de-
gree.
The Imprisoned Brothers.
While Thornton Hains, unshaven,
collarless, and with a strand of rope
about his waist doing duty for a belt,
was relating his grim story the cap-
tain, gaunt, and unkempt, stodd less
than ten feet away, his long, monkish
bath robe trailing the floor, his eyes
staring fixedly at the white walls of
his prison. He took no part in the
conversation.
"There has been so many untruths
circulated concerning Peter and my-
selt,” said Thornton Hains, "that I
must ask the Associated Press to set
us right In the eyes of the world. I
am not a desperado and neither is
Peter.
Thought Annis Was at Mt. Vernon.
"On the day of the shooting I imag-
ined Annis ta be in Mount Vernon.
Neither Peter nor I had any idea that
we would run across him at BaJ’side.
Ever since the terrible night when my
brother's wife admitted her wrong-do-
ing with Annis, 1 had been Peter’s con-
stant companion. General Hains fear-
ed that Peter would kill himself and
so he gave him over into my keeping.
1 took him with me to live and to
take his mind off his troubles and took
him out with me days at a time, cruis-
ing in a little motor boat I had.”
Thornton Hains then told of his
plan to buy a site along tho water
somewhere and this led to Bayside.
Always Carried a Gun.
"They have made much of the fact
that we went Armed,” he continued.
“As far as Peter is concerned, I did
not know he had a gun with him. It
was not until after he had used it on
Annis that I realized the situation. As
for me. the gun I had was the same
I carried for 14 years. Most of my
life has been spent at sea. where
primitive passions rule and where men
in their cups need more than words
to subdue them.
"They have also said that when we
arrived at the Yacht club our first
move was to ask where Annis was.
There was never anything said furth-
er from the truth. We had not been
on the ground long, however, before
the name of Annis came to our ears.
I Immediately began to urge Peter
away. He could not be persuaded,
however, and after a while I gave up
trying. It was so unexpected and it
all happened so quickly that I was
powerless to interfere. As soon as
Annis came up to the float. Peter open-
ed fire. It was over in a second. A
dozen men rushed for him and I saw
the big boatman grab him by the
throat and swing his fist to strike him.
It was then 1 pulled my gun.
"I certainly had no feelings of affec-
tion or regard for Annis. but 1 saved
him from being shot, by Peter once
before and I would have done so
again if I had the chance.
Note Written to Annis.
"The night that Peter's wife made
the written acknowledgment of her
misconduct with Annis she asked that
1 get word to Annis of what had hap-
pened. Annis was expected at the fort
tlie next day and she wished to warn
him to stay away. She wrote-the let-
ter and gave it to me to mail. Peter
had seen her give me the letter, how-
ever, and guessed to whom it was ad-
dressed. Before 1 could remonstrate
with him he had torn it open and read
its contents. It said, ‘All is over be-
tween Peter and me. He. knows ev-
erything. Don’t come tomorrow.’ Pe-
ter put the letter in his pocket and
said: ‘I want him to come. 1 have
something to say to him.’
’’From his tone I knew that he
meant to shoot him on sight.
Drugged the Captain.
“I determined that the only way to
prevent a meeting between the two
was to drug Peter. 1 went to Dr.
Wilson, the post surgeon, and got him
to give me a double dose of chloral.
When we got back to the house I per-
suaded Peter to take it. keeping him
In ignorance of what it was. When
Annis came the next day Peter was
still under the influence of the opiate.
Annis saw Peter's wife and left again
for New York. Twenty minutes after
he bad gone Peter awoke."

PANY ILLEGAL.

fendants Except United Cigar Stores
Company and R. P. Richards, Jr.
Company—Stay of Execution Grant-
ed—Receivership Denied.
New York. Nov. 7.—The contention
of the government that the American
Tobacco company is a trust operating
in restraint of trade and competition
in violation of the Sherman anti-
trust law, was sustained today in
derisions handed down by Judges La-
Lombe, Coxe and Noyes in the United
States circuit court here. Judge
Ward handed down a dissenting opin-
ion.
In the suit, which was prosecuted
by James C. McReynolds and Edwin
P. Grosvenor, special assistants of
the United States attorney general,
the government asked for an injunc-
tion dissolving the combination. The
government also asked tbe United
Slates circuit court to appoint a re-
ceiver to wind up the affairs of the
allied corporations.
While finding that there was an il-
legal combination as charged. Judges
Lacombe, Coxe and Noyes, In I heir
opinion, say that injunctions should
issue against all the defendants ex-
cept the United Cigar Stores company
and the R. P. Richards, Jr. company.
The injunctions are, however, stayed
pending an appeal to the United
States supreme court.
The petition asking for the appoint-
ment of a receiver was refused as
being "impracticable and wholly un-
necessary."
The imperial Tobacco company and
the British-American Tobacco com-
pany. English corporations, were in-
cluded in the government’s suit, but
the complaints against these com-
panies were dismissed.

To Utilize National Wealth.
During ihe course of his address
Prof, Halley said:
"The president's idea in appointing
Ihe farm commission was to estab
lish a body to maintain our natural re-
sources and, that a commission lo uti-
lize our natural wealth.”
He added: *
"Tho commission, It has been said,
was appointed for political purposes;
namely, that the agricultural vote
might bo won for the administration
but t wish to say in emphatic denial
of that statement that the president
had this commission in mind for more
than a year previous to the recent
conventions and there was nothing of
a politiral prospect in its aspect."

Prof. Bailey said that a final meet-
ing of the two commissions would be
held in Washington on December 16,
when a report would probably be sub-
mitted to President Roosevelt.

for many achievements. From the
passage of the nations; irrigation act
fio the punishment ot great corpora-
tions which have long defied the laws;
from tin prevention of railroad rebat-
ing to the conservation of natural re-
sources there runs through all of
them a ingle thread which has been
peculiarly an administration full ot
human feeling,, full of sypathetic un-
derstanding of tbe position and point
of view of the average man.
Understanding Men’s Needs.
The thread which runs through all
of its varied work and ail its great
results is that of a successful attempt
to understand what the needs and
rights of the average man are and
from them to get ilteiu for him."

day of the big- stick is over.
I expert Mr. Taft to steady things.

Some of them contain discussions of
the labor question and the laboring

a mistake and I think he has come to
see that i was right."
