HAINS SAVS MURDER TRIAL
IS SIMILAR TO POKER GAME
NEW YORK, -Ian. 20 Thornton J.
Hnins, acquitted of jo.npIU-Uy in the
murder of William K. .Aunts, was quo!
ed today as saying tht he "w uld wil
ling! v do it over again."
"If my brother, the major here, got
into trouble and needed i.u, I'd do the
game thing.' Hnins is said to have
added.
Hains was asked whether, nfter lie
had been twice tried nn charges of
murder, he would continue to carry a
revolver.
"Certainly T "II carry n gun,' he an
swered. 4 ' A man can't tell when he
might have to use ii."
"Being nn trial for your life' he
added, 'Ms like a game of poker. The
accused gets in holding n pair of dences
and the prosecution 1 olds three aces.
It is nil in the draw. I have been
asked if, at the f Hi while the
jury was nut, was net the worst T
ever spent. Tt was not by any means.
1 have spent times on shipboard in
storms that were much more nerve
racking, "I was not worried that niht about
the jury. Quite early T got word from
a policeman who looked in the jury
room, window that ihe jury stood nine
to three in my favor. But I would not
have given a nickel for my chances
when the jury went out "
District Attorney Frederick C. He
Witt said today that Ccptstn Peter C.
Hains would not be called for trial
before next March.

In order to show eitailv the full im
port of the recommtinlatieiiH which I
tin required to make, recording to the
liarter, I will first briefly recount the
progress made by the cHy of Med ford i
luring the last two years.
City'K Progress.
Two years ago the :ty had an in

MiO, which at th.i' t:.i was considered
bv some to be exceptive, 'ii" of tic
first steps taken b" tlu eou'ici! w.v
to call an election and obtain :mth rit y
to increase the bonded indebtedness ftf
the city by .".H(i(i f if goieval pnv
pows, and IH,H1 for a water disiiib
ting system. As 1 ?i.itei in my lai
ri Mrt, t he pa ra atou u' isue in M ed
for years past lias been the water
question, arid it was finally decided
tr take preliminary Meps toward se.
curing a water snpplv by installing an
idennate distributing system. As pub
tic sentiment 1kc:iih ednc:ited to the
progressive idea, it win crystalled into
a geueral belief that (he eity cnid
do better than instnM n wooden pipe
svstem, and another ci i-tim was there
upon ealbd which r-i.'.to1 in an ov r
helming vote in favor of an addition

the distributing svstem mit;ht be of
cast Iron of the most approved pat

Gravity Water.
During all this time the council had
been expending much time and effort
upon the problem ? n gravity supply
of. pure wafer, which n.t.i conceded bv
all to be necessary, but considered by
manv to be so fxpenrfiv. as to prevent
