 With the Horrible Crime-DetectIve
 DOnneIly Does Some Good Work
 Prisoners Will be Brought Before the
 East Haven Court This Morning.
 Mrs. Joseph E. Jennings and her son, Hubert Taylor, of East Haven, were arrested at the New Haven county jail yesterday afternoon on warrants charging them with the murder of Jo- sepll E. Jennings, who was shot and killed on the Foxon road, East Haven, last Sunday evening. The warrants were issued by the East Haven author ities, as the crime was committed in that town, and both mother and son will be arraigned in the East Haven town court tomorrow, and will un- doubtedly be bound over to the supe- rior court.
 Coronex Mix stated yesterday morn- ing that he had concluded his investi- gation and had secured a perfect case against both Jennings wife and step son. He refused to go into the evil dence, but it was freely said about po- lice headquarters that young Taylor had broken down and made complete confession of hispart to the crime and that Detective Donnelly found the re- volver near the scene of the tragedy yesterday afternoon. Donnelly worked on the case for two nights and a day without sleep, and his handling of the case was subject of general commen- dation.
 When asked if Mrs. Jennings former husband, Taylor, was in any way con nected with the case, Coroner Mix em- phatically stated that he was not and that at no time had there been the i slightest suspicion that he was in any way connected with 1t,
 Coroner Mix stated that he had re- ceived the report of the autopsy from Acting Medical Examiner Eliot, and that the autopsy showed that Jennings had been shot twice, presumably at short range, the bullet which caused his death passing through his right lung and causing ilemorrhage. i The coroner stated last night that he would file his report this morning, and \ that it would be to the effect that Mrs. Joseph F. Jennings and her son Hu- bert Jennings were responsible for the death of Joseph F. Jennings.
 The body, according to statements of Mrs. Jennings and her son, was found lying at the foot of path com ing out of the woods into the road a short distance from the Jennings home. This ground was thoroughly gone over by Detective Donnelly and Coroner Mix immediately after the murder had been reported, and tile prints of Q woman's shoes, the exact size of the shoes worn by Mrs. Jen- nings were found all about the spot j Young Taylor and his mother stated I that they had discovered the body ly ing in the road while riding in bug. gy on their return trip to meet Jen- nings, and that they lifted 1t into the carriage Investigation, however
 proved that no carriage had turned around in the road within the last twenty-four hours, the wheel marks oi which would have been plainly visible
 as the earth was soft from revent rains,
 When first questioned Taylor told the : coroner that they had found the body
 at the fork of the road, but later he
 changed his testimony and stated thai
 they found the body at the foot of the path.
 Detective Donnelly found the ttirty-
 two caliber revolver with two of tho : chambers discharged lying short dis. tance from where Jennings was shot
 From evidence obtained it seems that
 the cause for the murder arose through
 the lad Taylor, who was son of Mrs Jennings. He had just been discharged from tine navy and his mother insisted on him coming to live with them Owing to the family troubles Jennings was trying to dispose of property to gC to England. On the Sunday night of tht murder all three met at the daughter house, where they quarreled Jen.
 nings talked to his daughter about hii
 leaving this country, and, according tC
 the daughter, while they were in con /, versation and after Mrs. Jennings wa. supposed to have been gone, she came and give the proceeds to her If yol and give the proceeds to her if lyol . want to-" The daughter says tha Jennings replied that if he did sell tn, property that he would give his daugh ter what he thought was right ant then Mrs. Jennings left with lool

 his daughter. about eigSlt o'clock, ant at twelve o'clock young Taylor lurs
 into the house with the news that Jen
 nings had been shot Taylor, on beinl accused at this time of having commit : ted the deed, denied that he had don it. Those who were well acquaintet with the murdered man speak yer, well of him and say that he was peace
