AN AMERICAN SENSATION.
New York, January 17
Thornton Hains was acquitted at Flushing as an accessory in Captain Hains’ shooting of William Annis in August last. Captain Hains awaits trial.
[On August 17 Captain Hains, of the United States Artillery, with his brother, Thornton Hains, the sons of a general who distinguished himself in the Cuban and Spanish wars, waited at the landing stage of the Yacht Club at Long Island, amid a crowd of fashionable pleasure-seekers, until William Annis, a New York publisher, landed. Then the captain shot Annis six times mortally, while his brother, with a revolver, kept the crowd back. Captain Hains declares Annis ruined his young wife.]
