MANSLAUGHTER, SAYS f JURY INJAINS CASE Convicted Man Faces a Long Prison Sentence AN APPEAL TO BE MADE father and Brother of Accused Man Wept When Verdict Was Announced—Jury Not Prop- ;$&vl er|y Guarded. FLUffl^Hftf, N. Y., May 11.—Captain Peter c. Hains, Jr.* H S. A., tonight faces a prison term Of from one to twentv. years. Despite all the testimony submitted by the defense as tending to show insanity, he was convicted late today of manslaughter In the first degree for killing William E. Annis at tha Bayside Yacht club last August Quickly following the young army officer's conviction his counsel announced that they would produce affidavits to show that the jury bad not heen properly guarded during the trial aiid npon.'tills allegation will urge that a new trial be granted. These affidavits Will be submitted on Monday, the time set for passing sentence and for any ipotlons that the defendant's counsel desires tc make. There will, on the other hand, be the usual motions to set aside the verdict as against the weight of evidence and contrary to law, but the unguarded Jurv feature la the only departure from stereotyped procedure, looking to a new trial. O'Reilly's Statement. ' "There was no evidence in this case to Warrant a verdict of manslaughter. It should either have been murder In the first degree or acquittal on the ground of insanity. The Jurors Were permitted to roam about the county In on automobile and go right to ths verge nf tbe scene of the homicide,. ' which is clearly against the law. We will ha Ve affidavits to prove that such ls tiie case and also that the jurors were permitted to leave' the jurisdiction of tlie county and have been on gpvernment property at Fort Totten. all of ■ which wlll be urged as a ground for settng aside the verdict." •.-The conviction of tlie young army officer, after the jury had been ou; lers than three bours. came as a general surprise. It had been expected taal the jurors would deliberate mueh longer, and that a verdict of acquittal oh the ground of insanity, or a disagreement would result jujiiV^liltftHsillll a Surprls?. aAwitiiS No pne was more surprised than District Attorney .DeWitt. who said all he oould hope f«i* was a disagreement. Unlike the scenes attending the trial of Thornton Hains. the defendant's brother, who was acquitted of complicity in the same crime, there was no demonstration in court When the verdict was rendered at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Captain Hains stood up and raced the jury, squaring hls shoulders tn military fashion, wbile Foreman Sungllng recited the verdict. As bu heard the decision of tbe jurors Hain:,' tece was as white as chalk. Be stood for a few moments motionless, staling at the jury after he had beard the Vere let. Then one of his lawyer.-; touched him and he quietly sat down. A- few moments later, apparently Utile affected by the verdict, he walked from ths court, room wtth a steady stride be tween hts two lawyers and was taken back to the Queens County jail. Father Broke Down. In striking contrast to the demeanor ot the - prisoner was thf grief of his aged father, General Peter C. Hains, and his brother, Major John Power Hains. For a moment they sat as if daaed, then broke down and. wept The captain's aged mother, who was a pitiful figure in court daring the trial, was not in court, having returned Ho New York early ln the afternoon. This precaution was taken both because of the uncertainty of the duration ot the jury's deliberations and to shield her froni tiie shock. General Hains, however, quiokly communicated the verdict to ber over the telephone. . After the jury was discharged Juror :Njb.' 6,•'William' Craft, said four bal- lots were .taken. On the flrst three .ballots six voted for murder ln the flrst ' degree and six for acquittal on the ground of insanity. On the fourth ballot the compromise of manslaughter in the t-Vd degree Was reached. Uttle consideration was give to the expert testimony, Juror Craft said. They b«- ■ lie ved, be continued, .that Mrs. Claudia Hains, the defendant's wife, had made confession to her husband of Improper relations wltb Annie and tbat Annis deserved bis. fate, but none of then would consider the,unwritten law ahd therefore the manslaughter verdict re sultpd. Mrs. Annis was not In oourt today. She was tn court yesterday during the summing up for the defense but al no time was called as a witness. MISSOURI'S PROHIBITION LAW WILL BE FOUGHT OUT.

PITTSBURG, Pa., May 11.—After the excltin garid wearing incidents of -yesterday, Mrs. James Boyle bad a good night's rest in the Western penitentiary last night -and awoke today much" refreshed. Her arrival at the prison last night was after the hour for retiring and she was given only a nigbt dress, while all her other clothing and ornaments were taken from her. She awakened this morning to find only the prison garb in her cell. Marching in line with the other prisoners, Mrs. Boyle smiled as she went to her first prison breakfast and ate heartily. She was given. permission by the matron to make cushions and other fancy work for her cell and materials were promised her if she cared to do so. It will be determined after a physical examination, what character of work she will be given. Probably she .will be placed either-in fhe kitchen or in the sewing room. Bo vie slept well last night also. He ate heartily for breakfast and submitted gracefully to the barber, who cropped his hair closely. Bertillon photographs and measurements of the pair were made today. From all reports that, have been received here it is not. believed any action will be taken fol- owlng the statement of - Boyle last night. The Mercer county officials discredit the statement and the whole matter probably will be allowed to drop and be forgotten. Late tonight' the prison authorities at the Western penitentiary refused to give out any further information in regard'to the Boyles. Immured from the haunts o* mon they must expiate their crime. The case of the kidnaping of Willie Whitla may. be considered as closed. MERCER BELIEVE8 THAT BOYLE'S 8TORY 18 FAL8S. No Investigation of the Charges Is i Probable. MERGES, Pa., May 11.—That James |H. Boyle went to his life term in the Allegheny penitentiary with a lie on his lips Is-the declaration of more than one of those prominent In the Whitla kidnaping case. The consensus of opinion today is that htr statement in the Mercer county jail after his sentence yesterday implicating in his crime Harrv Forker, brother of Mrs. Whitla, a well known resident of Sharon, is without foundation What was tha kidnaper's object, unless to win belated sympathy, Is hard to discover. "Boyle is lying. He has told forty different tales," says District Attorney Lininger. Similar statements come from ali the 'attorneys in the case, including Judge Miller, Who defended Boyle, and from J. P. Whitla, .the man who would be most interested In running down the alleged accomplice Boyle mentioned, if he believed the story. Boyle and his wife entered the penitentiary at S o'clock last night No. 6,131 A" is the name under which Jimmy Boyle will pass ihe rest of his Ufe behind the bars. "No. 6;632 A" is the title by which the prison authorities will hereafter know the fascinating woman who many believe- planned the whole crime and who is under sentence of twenty-five years. Bv good behavior she may reduce her term to fifteen years. The prison authorities laugh at her threats of suicide. On Boyle, however ,they are keeping close watch for they know he fs desperate euough to tako any chance to escape.

O'Reilly's Statement. ' "There was no evidence in this case to Warrant a verdict of manslaughter. It should either have been murder In the first degree or acquittal on the ground of insanity. The Jurors Were permitted to roam about the county In on automobile and go right to ths verge nf tbe scene of the homicide,. ' which is clearly against the law. We will ha Ve affidavits to prove that such ls tiie case and also that the jurors were permitted to leave' the jurisdiction of tlie county and have been on gpvernment property at Fort Totten. all of ■ which wlll be urged as a ground for settng aside the verdict." •.-The conviction of tlie young army officer, after the jury had been ou; lers than three bours. came as a general surprise. It had been expected taal the jurors would deliberate mueh longer, and that a verdict of acquittal oh the ground of insanity, or a disagreement would result jujiiV^liltftHsillll a Surprls?. aAwitiiS No pne was more surprised than District Attorney .DeWitt. who said all he oould hope f«i* was a disagreement. Unlike the scenes attending the trial of Thornton Hains. the defendant's brother, who was acquitted of complicity in the same crime, there was no demonstration in court When the verdict was rendered at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Captain Hains stood up and raced the jury, squaring hls shoulders tn military fashion, wbile Foreman Sungllng recited the verdict. As bu heard the decision of tbe jurors Hain:,' tece was as white as chalk. Be stood for a few moments motionless, staling at the jury after he had beard the Vere let. Then one of his lawyer.-; touched him and he quietly sat down. A- few moments later, apparently Utile affected by the verdict, he walked from ths court, room wtth a steady stride be tween hts two lawyers and was taken back to the Queens County jail. Father Broke Down. In striking contrast to the demeanor ot the - prisoner was thf grief of his aged father, General Peter C. Hains, and his brother, Major John Power Hains. For a moment they sat as if daaed, then broke down and. wept The captain's aged mother, who was a pitiful figure in court daring the trial, was not in court, having returned Ho New York early ln the afternoon. This precaution was taken both because of the uncertainty of the duration ot the jury's deliberations and to shield her froni tiie shock. General Hains, however, quiokly communicated the verdict to ber over the telephone. . After the jury was discharged Juror :Njb.' 6,•'William' Craft, said four bal- lots were .taken. On the flrst three .ballots six voted for murder ln the flrst ' degree and six for acquittal on the ground of insanity. On the fourth ballot the compromise of manslaughter in the t-Vd degree Was reached. Uttle consideration was give to the expert testimony, Juror Craft said. They b«- ■ lie ved, be continued, .that Mrs. Claudia Hains, the defendant's wife, had made confession to her husband of Improper relations wltb Annie and tbat Annis deserved bis. fate, but none of then would consider the,unwritten law ahd therefore the manslaughter verdict re sultpd. Mrs. Annis was not In oourt today. She was tn court yesterday during the summing up for the defense but al no time was called as a witness. MISSOURI'S PROHIBITION LAW WILL BE FOUGHT OUT.

PITTSBURG, Pa., May 11.—After the excltin garid wearing incidents of -yesterday, Mrs. James Boyle bad a good night's rest in the Western penitentiary last night -and awoke today much" refreshed. Her arrival at the prison last night was after the hour for retiring and she was given only a nigbt dress, while all her other clothing and ornaments were taken from her. She awakened this morning to find only the prison garb in her cell. Marching in line with the other prisoners, Mrs. Boyle smiled as she went to her first prison breakfast and ate heartily. She was given. permission by the matron to make cushions and other fancy work for her cell and materials were promised her if she cared to do so. It will be determined after a physical examination, what character of work she will be given. Probably she .will be placed either-in fhe kitchen or in the sewing room. Bo vie slept well last night also. He ate heartily for breakfast and submitted gracefully to the barber, who cropped his hair closely. Bertillon photographs and measurements of the pair were made today. From all reports that, have been received here it is not. believed any action will be taken fol- owlng the statement of - Boyle last night. The Mercer county officials discredit the statement and the whole matter probably will be allowed to drop and be forgotten. Late tonight' the prison authorities at the Western penitentiary refused to give out any further information in regard'to the Boyles. Immured from the haunts o* mon they must expiate their crime. The case of the kidnaping of Willie Whitla may. be considered as closed. MERCER BELIEVE8 THAT BOYLE'S 8TORY 18 FAL8S. No Investigation of the Charges Is i Probable. MERGES, Pa., May 11.—That James |H. Boyle went to his life term in the Allegheny penitentiary with a lie on his lips Is-the declaration of more than one of those prominent In the Whitla kidnaping case. The consensus of opinion today is that htr statement in the Mercer county jail after his sentence yesterday implicating in his crime Harrv Forker, brother of Mrs. Whitla, a well known resident of Sharon, is without foundation What was tha kidnaper's object, unless to win belated sympathy, Is hard to discover. "Boyle is lying. He has told forty different tales," says District Attorney Lininger. Similar statements come from ali the 'attorneys in the case, including Judge Miller, Who defended Boyle, and from J. P. Whitla, .the man who would be most interested In running down the alleged accomplice Boyle mentioned, if he believed the story. Boyle and his wife entered the penitentiary at S o'clock last night No. 6,131 A" is the name under which Jimmy Boyle will pass ihe rest of his Ufe behind the bars. "No. 6;632 A" is the title by which the prison authorities will hereafter know the fascinating woman who many believe- planned the whole crime and who is under sentence of twenty-five years. Bv good behavior she may reduce her term to fifteen years. The prison authorities laugh at her threats of suicide. On Boyle, however ,they are keeping close watch for they know he fs desperate euough to tako any chance to escape.
