REPORTED BAD
Slayer of William Annis Is a
Complete Wreck, So His
Counsel Asserts
Flushing, Dec. 28. John F. Mc
Intyre, counsel tor Thornton Halns
and Captain Peter C. Halns, says the
condition of Captain Halns Is very
alarming, ' 1 can see no improve
ment In Captain Halns' mental pro
cesses. His condition is truly alarm
ing," says Mclntyre, "and I tear fatal
termination to his trouble. Treat
ment may be effective in time, but I
doubt It,"
One matter came out' yesterday
was the assertlph that Captain Peter
C. HalnB, Jr., will not be called as a
witness In his brother's behalf. With
in the last week, John F. Mclntyre
counsel lor the brothers, says he has
had an examination made by experts
of the mental condition of the army
officer,, and this inquiry, he says, has
convinced him. that in no circum
stances can Captain Halns appear as
a witness.
To what extent this examination
will affect the status of Cuptnin
Halns when he comes up for trial, Mr.
Mclntyre would not ay yesterday,
but It is supposed that he will plead
insanity and then appeal for the ap
pointment of a commission to decide
as to the mental responsibility of the
Captain.
It was pointed out yesterday that
an establishment of mental incapac
ity of the Captain will destroy one of
the principal lines of the defense in
the light of Judge Crane's statement
that Insanity of a principal would not
be held to affect complicity of an ac
cessory who failed to take every pos
sible means to avert the commission
of a crime. J
