 This was the only remark of Haines when he was taken into the county jail on North avenue and locked in a cell at 11:o5 o'clock this morning by Constable Emil Berger of Trumbull.
 From his observations on the trip to this city from Newtown, alone with SRaines, with the exception of the driver of the car, Constable Berger declares he thinks Haines is sham ming making believe he is insane.
 Where have you been, Jase?" asked MT. Berger.
 'tOh, I've been up in Bethel, watch ing them make animals" Haines re- piled.
 Haines had slovenly appearance when taken to the jail, but to whether this indicated he had been living in the woods, his captors would not say. It was said that his ap pAarance was always that way.
 He was docile in the car coming from Newtown.a Constable Berger as serted. According to MT. Berger he made no statement as to his motive in the shooting and gave no details of where he had been.
 The trip to this city was made by Haines alone with Berger in the back seat of an automobile. Deputy State Policeman A. L. French rode in the rear of the car on a motor cycle.
 Haines made no comment on seeing the jail and went peaceably to his cell. At no time did he make any resistance.
 Lodged in a. cell, he complained of being hungry. He said he had had no breakfast. He was assured that at the jail, and he would soon be fed.

 At the wa1ther home it was said that the youth was cast down but was bearing up remarkably under the. strain.
 That young Haines would appear at the arraignment of his father in the Trunbull Justice court was said to be unlikely.
 Haines. yet unidentified, was first noted in Newtown shortly after nnid- night by Miss Margaret Troy. night operator in the telephone exchange. He was trying to get into the Congre- gational church and beat upon the door when he found it was locked. Miss Troy heard the noise and watch ed him until he disappeared from the church steps.
 When the early shift of telephone operators came on duty at o'clock Hatnes again appeared, this time on the steps of the exchange building. He repeatedly pounded on the door. The operators, who say such visits from traInps are not infrequent, paid no attention until his attempts to en- ter became annoying. Then they sent for Foreman Bassett, in charge of construction work for the telephone company.
 Bassett found Haines on the steps of the exchange building but. did not recognize him as the wife murderer, Halnes was still trying to enter the building. Bassett asked him what he was doing.
