Indeterminate sentence for Hains killing of William E Annis
Captain Hains, after a long trial tied to his Philippines service, received a sentence of not less than eight nor more than sixteen years at hard labor in Sing Sing. The court rejected motions to overturn the verdict and allowed clemency requests to be heard before finalizing the punishment. The case stems from the Bayside Yacht Club shooting of Annis, with T. J. Hains acquitted of accessory charges.
