(By Leased Wire to The Times) ; New York. Oct. 29 T. Jenkins Halns, charged with his brother with the murder of William E. Annis, has written, and signed a remarkable statement defending himself and his brother, which he has given exclus ively to the Evening Journal for pub lication. The document was written by him in his cell in the Queens coun ty Jail. . ; ,...' In-it he bitterly assails Claudia L. Halns, his brother's wife, and defends himself as a man of whom his family Is proud, With his skill as a trained writer of magazine articles and books ho dramatically describes how he guarded over Captain Halns, doing his duty as a brother and a faithful son. : . -j Although declaring he has no harsh words for his brother's wife, he pic tures her as unremorseful, calm and deliberate in confessing her wrong doing. r With hold statement ho lavs the fate of Annis at the door of the law yer for Mrs. Hains. In his attack upon this man, the attorney who handled Mrs. Hains' defense of his divorce action brought against her, the indicted man displays mdst pro nounced animus. The story of T. Jenkins Hains, one of the moat remarkable ever penned by a man nwaiting trial for his life, lollows: , ,' Of course it '.Is 'useless to deny, that I am amazed at being In jail to be tried for murder. I am also surprised at the wonderful description of my self given out by Mrs. Huins' attor ney. After living for the most part of the last 15 years in touch with New York, I find I am described as a ''man-eater, beach comber" and other pretty things, all instigated by this attorney who is the real murderer of Annis, and who told me a short time back that he would "wade through blood to gain his ends." His desperate attempts to try and fasten every crime known to criminal history upon me at first amused me Then when a grand jury whose fore man was a life-long friend of the An nis family came into the game and in dicted me, the affair hecamo serious, indeed, as it showed plainly what might ba accomplished under the guise of law and justice. I find my self accused of the crime of murder, also I find that I am expected to rant and roar about like a lion in a cage . to fulfill my part of the drama. My friends are astonished at the turn of affairs, .and are lost in won der at the depths of crime that may be committed by a desperate attorney under the name of law, I am painted . as a black sheep of the family and - accused of the most impossible things. In the first place my family are just a bit proud of roe. I hare never done a single thing in uiy entire life they aon t approve of.. I never ran away to sea In the. romantic manner it seems necessary for a sailor and navi gator to do in order to be like the lads In the story books. . No, my father -placed me In my first' ship and I followed my, calling without any particular Incident out side of those which usually fall to a , sailor's lot. My father and I bare al ways been the best of friends and my dear old mother has been devoted to me, even now taking care of my little orphaned daughter. I have never been a beach comber -and don't know exactly what a beach comber It and, for the nast 15 years my life has. been so bnsy I never have had time to find out. During these yean I have contrib uted more. to marine and nautical lit erature than any other living man In the country and my life has been that of a recluse.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Oct. 29 Broughton Brandenburg, the magazine-writer who was arrested in Dayton, O., fol lowing his indictment for forgery in connection with the sale to a New York newspaper of a letter alleged to have been written by Grover Cleveland, was brought to police headquarters today by Detective Fitzsimmons, of the district attor ney's office. The prisoner was accorded the same treatment as ordinary criminals. After being lined up before the de tectives he was taken up stairs, where he was photographed for the rogues gallery and measured. Then he was taken to the district attor ney's office. Pointing out Brandenburg to his detectives, Inspector McCafferty said: "Here is the man who wrote an article purporting to come from Grover Cleveland and sold the article af.ter tho manwadead, ...TJje,etter denounced a prominent man In this country. I want you to take a good look at him, because he has been In dicted for forgery." Brandenburg seemed greatly an gered at the treatment accorded him, but made no protest.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Samburg, Tenn., Oct. 29 Addi tional details of "Tid" Burton's con fession indicate that perhaps 300 persons in Obin county are implicated in raids or as accesories of night riders. Even the oath taken by the night-riders is known. The authori ties believe enough evidence has al ready been obtained to indict four men. There are at present 75 prisoners in camp. Garret Johnson, the sup posed leader of the night-riders, is under a double guard and no one Is allowed to see him. His brother Tom and William Watson are also kept In solitary confinement. ... "We know absolutely we have two of their captains in Camp Nemo and 12 of the other night-riders," said Colonel Tatom. "Wen we get through we will have crushed out night-riding." Because of a technicality It may be necessary to abandon the special term of court convened at Union City on Monday to Investigate the night rider outrage of Reelfoot Lake, and allow 30 days to elapse before the inquiry can be resumed. The statutes of this state require that any term of court must be advertised In advance for 30 days. Ten witnesses were before the grand jury yesterday and, according to the statement of Attorney-General Caldwell, disclosures were made of almost as much Importance as the confession of "Tid" Burton at Tip ton ville.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the rapid whirl around New York. I have found all mr audlencee most Inspiring." "I am very tired but In flna shape for the up-state crowd."
