Comox WRAL: cLupes DEFEXSE. Special Correspondence of The Evening Stas. Hamrrox, Va., September 12, 1891. Beginning with the evidence given in the trial by Commauder Evans, who wes a witness of the shooting of Hanuegan, Mr. Montague in the Hains trial today reviewed the story of the af- fair as given by that officer. He iid special stress upon the fact that Commander Evans said that the shots were fired while the other man was in the very act of rowing and with Uoth hands upon the oar, which was in the row lock. He asked whether Mr. Evans could have been lying when he said this, and answered his own question Ly quoting from Col. Bird, who swid that while he could not see the oar in the water he did see the man who was shot in the titude of aman rowing and with the oar in e row lock. The sail was fore und aft.

But the noise pf the explosion hes come to you slowly and this accounts for it all.” SIONT AND SOUND ON THE WATER. Mr. Wise dwelt at length upon the uncer- tainty of sight and sound upon the water and said that the only witness upon whose testi- mony they were asked to rely had received his own knowledge of the occurrence from these deceptive means, and. was not on friendly terms with the defendant. “And yet,” con- tinued Mr. Wise, “you ave asked to send a man into eternity upon the testimony of 3 witness who did not know a murder had been committed and who treaied the whole affair as joke. What does Mr. Evans tell you? Noth- | ing that Thornton Hains did not say npon the stand. He admitted the killing of Ned Hanne- gan, and the explanation of the latter fallin forward of the seatissimple.

Gentlemen, you ure into eternity on the testi- mony of a man who treated the whole affair as a huge joke. “You are told that if Thornton Hains is inno- cent then Col. Bird is a convicted perjurer. This is vot eo xt all. The truth is thas Col. Bird reaily saw nothing of what occurred. Mr. Montague wished thut the dead man might be prevent to give hix story of the shooting. Wall he night, tor there are only three persons who know Low that shooting occurred. One is the oye of God, and the record of that sad aflair is all recorded there. Young Hannegan did know hew it occurred. ‘Thornton Hains does know, and there is not another person on the face of’ God's cath who knows what really occurred in that boat that day.” OOING THUOUGH THE EVIDENCE. Mr. Wise went through with the typewritten report of the evidence to prove piece by piece that there was nothing to make a plea of self- detense impossible or unlikely, and in compar- ing the testimony of Lincoln ‘Smith with that ot Mr. Evans he characterized the former as a At this point in Mr. Meutague’s speech, it being now atter 1 o'clock, the usual midday 30 o'clock. “ave Was called again for the after- session the commonwealth’s attorney re- sumed his address to the jury. THE LAW ON MURDER. He began by reading the law of Virginia guiding a jury to raise the verdict of murder from the second to the first degree. “We claim,” said he, “that this was a murder of the tirst degree; « willful and malicious murder. It es no difference how long Lefore the shcot- | the defendant made up his mind to commit f murder with a weapon asly in the possession of the defendant, ‘ion or with very slight prov- na facie evidence of wilifal and murder and throws upon the de- e burden of proving that it was arder in the second degree, manslaughter or justiiable homicide. The time Thornton Hains ured in stooping down to pick up his coat and Graw his pistol Was sutticient time for him to ke up his mind to dothe killing. This should the only diticulty that I apprehend will he in your path when you return to the jury room “to decide upon your verdict. ‘The drawing and discharging of @ deadly weapon is prima free evidence that the person commit- ting the act intended the results of hisact. The act of killing presupposes malice. DISCUSSING THE EVIDENCE. “say from the evidence in this case you must convict unless you believe all the testi- my of Commander Evans, Col. Bird and rank Evans to have been utterly false. Col. the act. ‘The doit previ wit man who had no prejudice against the deiend- ant; had not forbidden him to enter his house and bad nothing to gain by giving false testi- mony. He asked the Jury which wun the bet- ter witness—Lincoln Smith, who saw a scrap on board that boat, or Mr. Evans, who didn’t see it. He was confident that the jury believed that Smith told wnat he saw. Referring in beautiful language to the ap- aoe upon the stand of Mrs. Hains, Mr. Wise said that those mother’s tears were not shed through any fear for her son, but at the thought of the intimacy of those two boys and of the sorrow that had come upon the two familice. ‘ “But I am not asking you to send that boy to any term in the penitentiary,” said Mr. Wise in impassioned terms, as he pointed at Thornton Hains. “Are you clearly satisfied in your minds from the testimony that bas been given you that that young man deserves to be anged? Yet J am not asking for any compro- mise verdict. He is either guilty of murder in the first degree, and 1 want him hanged for his crime, or he is innocent, and it is your duty to acquit him. Idon’t want you to disgrace this mau for life by sending him to the penitentiary for a term of yeurs trom any sentiment that @ killing has been done and something ought to be doue about it. Convict or acquit.” ‘THE PRISONER'S STORY. ‘Mr. Wise referred to the fact that according to law the prisoner was a perfectly pro er wit- ness inhis own behalf and discussed the fail- ure of the commonwealth to cross-examine Hains while on the stand, closing with statement that the only testimony they had as to the actual occurrences inthe boat was that Hains knew nothing of the shootiug. Mrs. Hains knew nothing of the ease, and I felt, as 1 men of the jury, a fecling of the anes a she was called upon to give We of the commonwealth had uestion her testimouy nor suggest th dv anything but the simplest of atha. But she knew nothing of the truth. only Witnesses of the occurrence the defense presented were aman who bas given three different stories of the shooting on ihres jifferent oceasions when under oath and the oner at the bar himself. Gentlemen, it is a ficult matter for a man, no matter how hon- the may be, to tell tbe exact truth when he is on tr He is likely to color bis sto ‘Gentlemen, the fact that Hains leaned over and drew his weapon is proof that he kuew fuli well the purpose for which he wanted it. Itis too plain that the statements of the pris- cner a¢ the bar and Lincola Senith as to bhat was done with the oar in that Loat are utterly talse “Lam about through. I leave the residue with you, and Tonly ask that you bring in verd aceordance with the law and the ev dence. There ix one other witness to the shoot- ing Lwould like to have called, but he bas been ushered aeross the river into the presence of his God by the hand of the prisoner at the I believe that were he here he would beat out the testimony of Mr. Evans and the other witnesses to the occurrence. Gentlemen, I leave the ease in your hands.” MM. WISE OPENS FOR THE DEFENSE. Mr. John S. Wise, for the defense, arose as Mr. Montague sat down and began at once his address in behalf of young Hains. Hoe began by saying that he bad sometimes wished that the jury had been for the most part older men that they might appreciate as he did the feel- ings of a man whose son had got himself into trouble. “The day has gone by.” he said, “when & man who kills must necessarily be unished for his act. ‘The old idea of an eye or an eye aud a tooth for a tooth has long been st. ‘Tsay with perfect confidence that the only witness to the details of the shooting whose testimony is worth the paper it is written upen is the prisoner at the bar. Nor does this go to show dat the witnesses for the proscoution oF any of them committed perjury, but you should remember that every doubt must be resolved in favor of the defendant. No man feels more pity for the ‘dead ‘man's father than do I, and fairly believe that the happiest person con- nected with this sad occurrence is the dead man hitaseif as he lies in his grave. “The story of Lincoln Smith that there was ‘scrapping’ in that boat is by the “Ihave been charged by the honorable Sena- tor from Indiana with pd ade ‘this case with two much levity. felt deep made by Thornton J. Haius, as competent u “{ SHOT mm 80.” witness as any other. The prosecution, said Mr. Wise, saw no flaw in his story, and know- ing they could not overthrow it,’ they were afraid to cross-examine him. ‘I wish Edward Hannegan were here to give his testimony in this case,” said Mr. Wise, feelingly, “but if he were here I know the story he would teil would be this: ‘We were friends, ‘Thornton and J, and he bad no melice nor feel- ing toward me.’ He bad no reason for shooting until that day when we were out m the boat, We were tired and worried and I wanted to go ashore. Ie wished to take good care of tl boat. I had less interest in the boat, and wanted to land at once. We had a hot, bitter, burning quarrel, and in the heat of the moment Iraised the oar to strike him. He shot me twice, but if he had not done so I would have broken his ekull like an egg shell and in two seconds he would have been floating in the waters of Chesapeake bay like a crab that was cut in two.” “No one can regret more than I do this whole sad occurrence and no one would do more than Ito relieve the distress that afflicts these two families, but can you make things any better by sending this nian to the penitentiary, this man, who, whatever be his fate, will bear in his heart all his days the scar of this sad affair? Gentlemen, the only witness competent before the law to testify as to the circumstances of the affray in that boat is Hains himself, and he has told You that the shots were fired by him when he believed he was in imminent peril of his life. On that testimony I ask for an acquit tal and if you do err in. bringing in a verdict that will set this man free and bring happiness into many other hearts you will have tue sat- isfaction of feeling all your lives that you have erred on the side of justice and humanity. I do not ask a verdict of murdor in the second degree nor for manslaughter. Ido not fear the rope. This man stands on the God- given right of self-defense. He fired those shots without premeditation, suddenly, and firm in the belicf that if he did not fire he would be a dead man forthwith, and on the strength of that we claim an acquittal that will exonerate the defendant at the bar.” LINCOLN SMITHS TESTONONY. and made the overture to strike musb acquit, for te man on the stern locker was Justified in even the it stern aS THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. taclly rensonable ascent of thonMocting, wae ly ‘account hy the commonwealth had brought forward no witnesses to testify as to the detaile of the af- fray.

Mr. Henry Johnson Thinks Carson is the Muster of the Situation. ile not taking an active interest in local politics I have,” said Mr. Henry Johnson, “been a close observer of the men aud means engaged in and resorted to in order to elect delegates to the republican national convention. ‘The rea- son for my inactivity is not for want of interest in party success, but because I fail to seo any general benefit to # disfranchised community going through the forms of an election. But aslongas delegates are admitted to the na- tional convention from the District we may ex- pect to have aspirants for the empty honor. The question then is the mode of selection. As between primary elections and mass meetings I favor the former when practical, but being ex- pensive, and no funds being available to defray the expense, I cun see no way out of the mass meeting. As tothe candidates, the ‘woods are full of them'—there is vomething in the at- mosphere of Washington which, when inhaled, starts the office-holding ‘bee’ buzzing. Promi- nent among those spoken of for delegate to the republican convention are Commissioner Douglass, Col. Carson, Andrew Glee- son, Kev. Robert Johnson, Major Rich- ards, Dr. Purvis and Charles Marshall. In my opinion, if Col. Carson can rally to his support Charley Marshall, Rey. Johnson, Dr. Ruttin, Henry Lacey,along with Johu Freeman and other trusted friends, there is no power in- side or outside of @ primary election that can prevent hisre-election. The same is true of Andy Gleeson, The party workers all like and will work for him. “What about Senator Bruce: “Senator Bruce is too shrewd a politician,” replied Mr. Johuson, “to jeopardize a national political reputation by entering a field of ama- teurs to compete for the position of a political nondescript.
