THE AUGUSTA DAILY HERALD
VOLUME XIII., No. 271
DEMANDED TIE
JDICTMENT
•'IF INS
NEW YORK.—District Attorney
Darin Friday appeared before the
grand jury tn Queens county and de
manded the indictment of T. Jen
kins Hnins as an accessory before the
fact in the murder of William E. An
nis, who was shot and killed by Cap
tain Peter C. Hains.
The usual procedure in cases of
this kind is to first indict the al
leged murderer and then the access
ory. Why T. Jenkins Hains should
first be indicted adds mystery to the
already complicated Bay Side Yach'
club mystery.
The witness against T. Jenkins
Hains before the grand jury Friday
was Mrs. William C. Annis, widow of
the victim.
Other witnesses whom the prosecu
lion was ready to produce during the
morning were Louis C Harway, tho
companion of Annis on August 18,
when he was killed, and several mem
bers of the yacht club who saw the
shooting.
But it is chiefly upon the testimony
of Mrs. Annis that T. Jenkins Hains
is expected to be indicted.
She was sitting on the plaza of tho
yacht club when Annis appeared.
Sha saw her husband’s little cat boat
approaching the clubs float, running
free before the w'lnd lyith Annis and
Harway sitting in the stern. Then
she saw the Hains brothers. She
knew (hem. She suspected that they
were looking fov Annis. Running
down toward the float, the agonized
woman tried to warn her ht;rband.
"Will, don’t come In! Don’t cento
in!" she cried. But Annis either did
not hear, or wen Id not heed her
warning. Peter Hains walked'down
to the float followed by his brother.
The little boat was luffed up into
the wind, with the sail hanging out
over the float eo that Annis was un
able to see the Hains brothers.
Mrs. Annis made one last desper
ate effort to seve her husband. She
ran toward Captain Hains, hut. it was
too late. As-he fired at Annis, she
still tried to interfere and then, ac
cording tp her story. T. Jenkins
Hains turned with a revolver, cover
ed her as well as the yachtsmen who
had run forward, and said. ’’Keep out
ot thie; it is our affair. I will shoot
dowm any one who tries to inter
fere.”
