Surprises. v '
Flushing, L. I., Dec. - B. Justice
Crane will decide Monday whether the
trial of T. Jenkins Hains, accused with
inciting- the murder of Publisher Wil
liam K." Annis, shall begin as planned
, on December 14 or whether It must be
indefinitely postponed. The defense al
leges the special Jury ordered fa the
case was improperly drawn in that it.
was not selected from the jury box la'
open court with a supreme court jus
tice presiding. The law demands this
and Justice Crane must decide whether
this point can be overlooked.
Should his decision be adverse there
Is little chance of. the trial beginning
before next March, as a new district
attorney win succeed District Attorney
Darrin In January and he will want
time - to familiarize himself with the
case' - -
If the trial must go on. both sides
are ready. It will be the first time
in many years , in the history of New
York courts that an Alleged accessory
Is tried before his principal,' but there
is a good reason for this. Darrin ad
mits that he expects to encounter an
insanity defense in the case of Captain
xiains dui noimng 01 tne Kina win
happen In the T. Jenkins Hains defense.
Surprises Promised.
Both sides promise great 'surprises,
but the defense, unless the district at
torney .lias something up his sleeve,
will try " to clear the author on the
S round that he simply acted as he
Id to protect Ms brother.
Former Assistant Attorney John F.
Mclntyre and Eugene D, J. Toung,
counsel for the defense, indicated their
. defense today. They will endeavor to
brove to the brothers that they went
to Bayside on a peaceful errand, the
exact nature of which is a closely
guarded secret, Dut which they claim
four witnesses to prove: that when they
arrived ai me yucm ciud, i. Jenkins
Hains learned that Annis was out on
the bay. He tried to get his brother
away, not fearing that he would shoot
Annis, but that he would hit him and
create a scene. While the two were
arguing the question Annis was coming
asnore, ana uerore T. Jenkins knew
what was happening his brother had
drawn a revolver and blazed away. Be
fore the smoke of the weapon had died
away John B. Tonning, head boatman
at the float, and Louis C. Harraway
started fo- Captain Hains. Then, it will
be claimed, T. Jenkins drew the revolver
he always carried and, pointing it as
them, shouted: "Stand back, get an of
ficer. I'll take care of this man until
the police come."
Hinges on Allegation
It Is on thu allegation that the entire
trial may hinge. Hains and his friends
Insist that this was the exact language.
The prosecution says-not. Darrin' ex
pects to prove by Tonning, Harraway
and Mrs. -Annis that T. Jenkins said:
"f am. in charge of this. Let this mail
alons He knows what he is doing."
on the words used and on the further
facts whether or not T. Jenkins drew
his own -revolver before or after Cap
tain Hains fired, will likely hinge
whether T. Jenkins Hains is convloted
of murder or acquitted.
It will be conceded by the defense
' that T. Jenkins always carried a re
volver. Every witness who testified for
the prosecution will be cross-examined
" at length on Just when he drew it. In
finitesimal portions of time will figure
greatly in the cae. Captain Hains used
an automatic. It did not take long to
empty it and in the excitement it will
' be very hard for a witness to separate
the seconds to. show Just when the
brother did take a hand in the game
Mrs. Captain Hains will not be a wit
ness. The prosecution does not want
to submit her to the cross examination
of Mclntyre, "the most pitiless inquisi
tor in New York City, and the defense
will not make her their witness.
Discussing - the rase, District Attor
ney Darrin said :
"I will not occupy much time. Wit
nesses to the killing will be called to
prove the corpus rl elect I. Then we will
show by other witnesses that Captain
and T. Jenkins Hains stood on the pier
paced backward and forward and
watched for the return of Mr. Annis.
They will tell how, when the murdered
man appeared, the captain deliberately
emptied the contents of his magazine
revolver into Annis" body while T. Jen
kins kept everyone away from the spot
with his own revolver. We will show
Just an ordinary premeditated murder."
But the prosecution has a trump
card to play that may stump the de
fense. They will swear Martin Bkura,
petter known as Martin Brown, the
Jiackman who drove the pair from the
station to the Bayside Yacht club, will
Identify a box containing 87 loaded cart
ridges that he found on the floor of his
vehicle after the brothers left and the
prosecution will argue that the two
' men filled their revolvers with rr,h
xartridges en route so that there would
do no misfire . ..
How this point will be made, Mcln
tyre declines to say. If he can get an
acquittal In the first case, Mclntyre
will ask a oommlsslon to examine Cap
tain Hains, conceding that he was in

Rudovlts say that if he Is returned he
will first be tortured to compel him to

The refugee coleny here and mem
bers of the American Defense League

for 20.000 other Russian fugitives in
the United States is dark. They are all

This News From Over the
Nation Westinghouse
Case Convinces Huge
Projects Are Taken Up
Wages Advance.
(United Preu teased Wire.)
New York, Dec. 5. The announcement
from Pittsburg this afternoon that the
receivers for the Westinghouse Electric
Sc Manufacturing company and the Se
curities investment company, the two
big Westinghouse concerns, had been
discharged by Judge James 8. Young
in the United States circuit court was
welcome news to financiers here. While
the report was too late for any real ef
fect on tho stock market it was freely
commented on and the statement was
current in banking circles that it was
tne real capstone on the
the prosperity
building since
structure that has been
election.
From every section of the country the
word is coming that the renewal of
business is not confined to any Bpecla'
line, but is very general. This is best
shown by the easiness of the money
market Cash can be procured in goodly
quantities for any legitimate amount at
surprisingly low rates of interest.
But not alone does the cry of better
times come fromth men who are con
templating new ventures, it comes also
from the older lines of trade. In New
England the clothing district and tho
boot and shoe trades are booming and
the assertions are freely made that all
unemployed will be taken care of before
Christmas.
Sage Traction Contract.
Here in New York nearly every line
displays activity anil it via Annntinnerl
that the newly organised Braley-Qaffney-
oiKcrs uoniracung company, the mem
bers of which are very close to Leader
Charles F. Murphy of Tamrdany. has
booked a 130,000,000 contract from the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
company. They, are to electrify the
lines of that company from New Ro
chelre to One Hundred and Twenty

the East river to Astoria, then on to

river tunnel and subway to a huge -passenger
station to be constructed at
Fourth and Lexington avenues and
Thirty-second and .Thirty-third streets.
A conservative estimate of the profits
of the job is $5,000,000 and it will give

means tnat tne worxers will nave more

Calvin Heilig and D. M.
Stearns Agree on Fifth
and Taylor Street Comer.
Whether or not Portland Is to have a
first class modern theatre rests entirely
with local Investors, as an option on one
of the best and most valuable sites in
the city for such an enterprise has been
secured, and all that remains to be done
is to enlist the cooperation of sufficient
capital to carry the project through. As
was . announced several weeks ago in
The Journal, David S. Stearns and Cal

the quarter block on v the southeast cor
ner of Taylor and Fifth streets at an
annual rental so low that It is believed
it will be possible to enlist capital suffi
cient to build an equip a theatre such
as the growing population of the city
demands.
The option is for a 30 year lease on
the property, and was signed- about
three weeks ago by the owners, Fraxler
& McLean, who now have a livery barn
on the property. It is proposed by the
