Defense Begins Prosecution Rests in Hains Case
Court convened for the Hains murder trial as the prosecution rests after calling minor witnesses. The defense outlines Thornton Hains and his brother planned a Bayside real estate purchase but went to the Yacht Club after learning Mr Buggy was there. Attorney Shay argues the state’s evidence is fabricated while claiming Captain Peter C. Hains was mentally unbalanced and could not have been involved with the death. Separate notes mention promoters from Chanute and Hutchinson seeking an electric line project for Lawrence interests and New York capital.
