GUILTY. - HE - SAYS
Prosecutor Says Hainses Will

SHACKLED IN COURTROOM
Prisoners Manacled When Taken
Before Magistrate Thornton
Jenkins Hains Killed Man
In Virginia.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1". (Special.) That
the killing of William E. Annis. owner
and publisher of the Burr Mcintosh
Monthly, constituted deliberate murder
and that both Captain Peter C. Hains.
Jr.. and his brother. Thornton Jenkins
Hains. are crearly guilty of murder In
the first degree Is the declaration of
District Attorney Ira G. Darrln. of
Queens County, made after examination
of the evidence.
Mr. Darrln said tonight:
Defense Will Be Difficult.
"With the facts at hand. I can say it
was deliberate, premeditated, cold-blood-td
mu'der. Both brothers are guilty of
murder In the first degree. Thornton
Hains Is Just as guilty as Captain Hains.
who fired the shots. No mystery is at
tached to the crime: it is simply an
open, daylight murder in the presence
of several hundred persons.
"They will have difficulty In making a
defense of any kind that will stand In
law. They cannot plead Impulse
or sudden Insanity, as Thaw did.
for the act was apparently deliberately
planned for hours, if not days. Ball for
either man Is simply out of the ques
tion. Both Prisoners Manacled.
The prisoners were manacled when re
moved today from the Flushing Police
Station to the Queens County Jail at Long
Island City. The police regarded T. Jen
kins Hains as the more dangerous of the
brothers, and he was handcuffed between
two detectives while Captain Hains was
handcuffed to a single policeman. The
belief la growing that Captain Hains was
influenced by his brother to shoot Aiyils.
Thornton Hains preserves the demeanor
of a cold, self-confidant fighting man.
Their acquaintances say the two broth
ers are of radically different tempera
ments and that Peter has been long domi
nated by his strong-headed, overbearing
brother. It was Thornton Hains who
first Informed the Captain of his wife
misbehaving with Annls.
Thornton Once Killed His Man.
Thornton Hains. In 1S91 killed Edward
Hannegan. son of a prominent resident of
Washington. In Hampton Roads, and was
tried for. murder at Hampton. Va He
pleaded self-defense and obtained acquit
tal. He was known as a fighter who al
ways carried a revolver. iney naa gwnn
together to Fortress Monroe where they
went out In a Government canoe and
while on the water Hains shot Hannegan
twice through the heart.
The shooting was witnessed by Admiral
Evans from the veranda of his quarters.
Evans testified the shooting was unpro
voked. Hannegan having both hands on
the oars, rowing. It was argued that
Admiral Evans was hostile to Hains on
account of family troubles. The prose
cution's theory was that Hains and Han
negan had a disagreement over a young
woman: that Hains first emptied Hanne
gan's revolver by signalling to a yacht,
and then provoked a quarrel with him
to have an excuse for the shooting. He
stayed out on the water half an hour
after the shooting, with the body of his
victim In the canoe.
Father to Fight for Sons.
After acquittal. Hains waa sent by his
father to sea. where he picked up the
knowledge which he utillied in writing
sea stories under the name of T. Jenkins
Hains.
General Hains. who visited his sons in
Jail, asked that the public suspend Judg
ment until all the facts In the case be
came known.
"We are going to fight hard and I
have no doubt everything will come out
all right." he said.
Inquiries at Fort Hamilton, where Cap
tain Hains and his wife were residing,
when he drove her from home on arriv
ing from San Francisco, Indicate that If
there was any misbehavior by her and
Annis during the Captain's absence, it
was not 'observed by others at the Fort.
It was rumored she had been forced to
sign a confession at the point of a pistol.

BERLIX, Aug. 17. Special. The
Cologne Gazette points out that the
launching of the new German battleship.
Ersatz Wurttemberg. at the Vulkan
yards, at Stettin on August 22, Is chief
ly interesting as evidence of the capabili

The new vessel, which will have a dis
placement of 1S.00O tons. Is the first large

nevertheless be ready for launching only
a short time after the launch of the
Nassau and Westfalen, its two sister
ships of the 1906 programme, which were
launched respectively last March and on
July 1. It must be remembered, how
ever, tha.-by the time the ships of the
1907 programme came to be laid down the
yards and slipways had been enlarged
and the necessary experience In dealing
with ships of this size had been gained.

Service In Navy.

Tuesday evening Rear-Admiral Robley D.
Evans, "Fighting Bob," will have conclud
ed 48 years of service In the United States
Navy and. being then at the age of 62,

PICTURESQUE FIGURE PASSES
Evans' 'Career in Navy Orie of
Thrilling Adventure.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. With the
retirement from active sen-Ice next
Tuesday of Rear-Admiral Robley Evans
"Fighting Bob" the United States
Navy loses one of the most picturesque
figures that ever' trod a quarterdeck.
Forty-five years ago, Evans, as a young
ensign, received his baptism of fire at
Fort Fisher, during the Civil War.
It has been his fortune to command
the greatest fleet of fighting ships ever
assembled under the American flag, and
many of his countrymen still are hope
ful that Congress will honor him by
creating him a Vlce-Admlral, a rank
second only to that of the Manila Bay
hero, Admiral Dewey.
Fighting Bob waa born In Floyd
County. Va., August 18, 1816, 62 years
ago. He came to Washington at the
age of 11 to live with his uncle, a news
paper man, on the death of his father.
Dr. Samuel Andrew Jackson Evans.
Securing an appointment to the Navar
Academy, from the Territory of Utah,
he entered that Institution September
15. 1860. When war broke out between
the states his mother, assuming that he
would take arms for his state against
his country, sent in his resignation to
Washington and It was promptly ac
cepted. . Young Evans was determined,
however, to stand by the Union, even
against his own family and had himself
reappointed, greatly to his mother's
chagrin. He was graduated In 1863, and
served with honor throughout the re
mainder of the conflict.
He became a lieutenant in 1866, a lieutenant-commander
two years later, and 8
commander In 1R78. He reached the grade
of captain In 1S93, and as such officer,
served through the Spanish-American
War. commanding the battleship Iowa at
the battle of Santiago. He was promoted
to the rank of rear-admiral In 1901. thus
reaching the highest rung in the ladder
possible 'without the aid of a special act
of Congress.
During the period of strained relations
with Chill, he earned the sobriquet of
"Fighting Bob." He was In command of
the gunboat Yorktown, stationed at Val
paraiso which place he threatened to ef
face from the topography of Chill in
such earnest language that the haughty
Latin-Americans speedily released the
American sailors.
Rear Admiral Evans has always pre
ferred sea duty to service ashore. He has
done more than any living man te unify
this country's floating fighting force and
great credit Is due him for the high state
of efficiency of equipment and personnel
of the navy. Rough and rugged, "Bob"
Evans Is a typical fighter. A stern disci
plinarian, but always Just and fair, he Is
not only respected, by the men behind the
guns, but he Is loved by them.

UTAH INDIANS, WHO WENT TO
DAKOTA,- RETURNING.
Rigid Game Laws Chief Cause of
Dissatisfaction Among the
400 Aborigines.
WASHINGTON, ' Aug.- 17. The officials
of the Indian Bureau are expecting soon
to hear of the arrival at their old reser
vation in Utah of 400 renegade Indians,
who have spent the greater part of the
last two years on the Sioux lands in
South Dakota.
The Utes started on the long march
overland July 20 and when last heard
from had passed Fort Robinson, half
way between starting and stopping
points. At Robinson some of the In
dians dropped out and the bureau Is now
puzzled as to what to do with the strag
glers. They are going slowly over the
Journey of 600 miles, disturbing no one
and attracting little attention.
. The Indians have manifested no dis
position toward Improper conduct. W hen
they went away they said they were
confident they could do better north,
where game was more plentiful and the
supervision Jess rigid. On arrival, they
professed to be satisfied with their new
homes and haughtily spurned overtures
to return. When, however, they found
that game laws were as rigid In one
state as another, and especially when
they discovered that they must work of
starve, they seemed to experience a
gradual change and they have recently
been insistent upon returning to their
Utah lands.

Carp Lake lies In the Northern Michi
gan resort section, In the peninsula run
ning northward between Lake Michigan
and Grand Traverse Bay.
Having aboard only pleasure seekers
bound for Traverse City, to attend a wild
west circus, the little steamer was plow
ing down the narrow lake with a steam
pressure of 80 pounds, trying to make up
the time that had been lost In the early
stages of the trip. The engineer discov
ered a loose bolt in the engine and shut
oft the steam. While he was working on
the bolt the boiler gave way with a
crash, tearing oft the top of the engine
and demolishing the pilot-house and the
upperworks of the steamer, but leaving
Engineer Edwards practically unscathed.
The force of the explosion had all been
forward.
Mrs. Labonte. sitting near the pilot
house conversing with her brother,
Charles Mosler. captain of the boat, was
blown far out Into the water, terribly
mangled, and John Harlung, who was at
the wheel, was probably fatally Injured.
All the Injured were sitting in the for
ward part of the boat. Many were thrown
into the water and clung to the wreckage
until rescued by farmers living along the
shore, although some were able to swim
to shore.
Jewelry Trade Is Reviving.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. A revival in
the Jewelry trade has begun, the deal
ers say. It has been a subject of com
ment among the men In this business
that they are the first to feel a depres
sion and about the last to get a benefit
of prosperity when it returns. Ludwlg
Nlssen, one of the oldest of the dealers
In precious stones, says that for eight
months the wholesale dealers practically
sold nothing, but within a short time
the retail dealers had started to make
purchases and replenish stock that In
many cases had been reduced to a mini
mum because of the caution and timidity
that have prevailed.
A significant feature of the turn in af
fairs is furnished by the presence in
Antwerp and Amsterdam, the principal
European diamond manufacturing cen
ters, of American buyers, who had not
been there for months.
