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.

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.” BATTLESHIP FLEET GOES INTO MANILA BAY Many Launches and Crowd of People Welcome the American Sailors.
