of tho Bnysldu Yacht club aftor tho

afternoon by Attorney Joseph A.
Sliuy In his opening argument in
which ho outlined tho Jenkins Hnlns'
defense.
Tho defense will nlno claim that
the Btatoments of many of I ho wit

Say said that tho first know

named lluruhtlold nddrussud u wom
an as "Mrs. Annls." Ho said when
the defundant learned that Mrs. An

his biothur to go home.
Shay declined that Jenkins Halns
did not recognize Annls, who was at
tired In a bathing suit; that Captain
HnliiB rushed dovi to tho flout and
that Jenkins Halns lost sight, of
him and almost Instantly heard tho
rattle of shots behind tho sail on
Annls' boat.
Tho attorney declared that when
Jenkins reached thu boat, Tonnlng.
Swedish boatman, was nt thu side.
Thu boatmen took tho rovolvor from
Captain Halns, pinioned his arms
with his right hand nud lifted It In
tho nlr to deal tho captain n blow.
"Jenkins Hnlns then cried 'don't
hurt him. Iio'h my brother' " said
Shay. "Ho then rushed down to tho
boat. Then Hoberts. who has al
ready testified, took the revolver af
ter It left the hand of the cwptnlii
Ah thu revolver was In tho hands of
Hubert It was raised and pointed at
tho uaptnlu. Jenkins Halns drew his
rovohur and shnutwl, 'Don't shoot,
don't shoot. Keep back. Gut hii of
ficer. '
"We'll show you," continued
Khay to the Jury, "that all or utmost
all of the statement attributed to
Jenkins Halns were false. We'll"
show you that Mrs. Annls wns not on

tol wits not pointed ut her."
AtUiruey Molntyro for tho dnfuiuo,

Mveiul questions had been ruled nut
by the court, Darrln left the stand
