CAPT. INS’ WIFE
WANTS HIM 10 BE
PUNISHED
NEW YORK—"Captain Mains
should be punished. I hope for my
babies’ sake that he does not die. but
his punishment should be heavy.”
These are the words of the wife of
Peter C. Hains, Jr., the United State*
army captain, who shot William E.
Annls to death on the float of the
Bayald- 1 Yacht Club last Saturday af
ternoon, because, as he believed, An
nis had broken up his domestic hap
plness.
Mrs Hains is a handsome woman
j and spirited, She is determined to
get her children and take them to
the borne of her father, in Wlnthrop,
Mass., where she has been living since
| her husband separated from her.
“I wanted to see my children very
; much today." she said, "but Its too
late now, and I must go back. Should
I go on to the fort. I would have to
explain to the guards and then call
up the colonel's office and well, you
see, I had better go back to New York
now.
"I have a perfect right to see my
! children. I am their mother and 1
- love them and they should be with
me. When Csptain Hains and his
brother and father brought thla ter
rible and untrue charge against me,
I did not know whit I wat. doing
"I was deadly afraid of the case
fain He has beaten me In his »l,d
rage At times his eyes were like
those of a madman and his voice
would choke until he could scarcely
I speak

ports have been circulated that I feel
Justified in branding them as false."
Mrs. Hains then told of her early
married life, and her meeting with
Mr. and Mrs. Annis.
"Mr. Annis was a fine man and hlB
wife and I were close friends," con
tinued Mrs. Mains. "Mrs. AnnlH knows
the truth. She knows that the ter
rible stories circulated by Thornton
lfatns were lies That is some com
fort to me, hut It does not make up
for her loss and suffering.
I cannot explain why I ever sign
ed tho paper Captain Hains brought
to me, which purported to be a con
fession from me, unless f was fright
ened Into doing It. Yes, I remember
now how frightened I was. I came to
New York believing I could comfort
Mrs Annis.
"I decided to take my children
home with me. It Is not right that
the babies should remain in tho care
of such a father or of his parents. I
want to take them away and raise
them in Ignorance of the foul murder
thetr father has committed."
While the young wife and mother
was talking the three children were
under close guard In General Halmf
home at the fort. The children's
grandmother is In constant fear that
they will be kidnapped.

criticisms of her were most blttei He
was actuated In making the dlsclos
uros, be said, by a desire to help the
decency-loving officers and their
j wives, believing that publicity would
|do much toward bringing about an
elimination of almost Intolerable con

“There are two other scandals
here," said the officer, "which are
