 Jason Haines, Jr., testified that his 7atnes. He testified that Haines had ssid to him 'some day you'll come home and~find her dead"
 James Jacques, with whom Haines was for a few minutes, testified last night that the Trumbuu farmer had lthreatene1: Shell not appear against me in court To Sheriff Simeon Pease he asserted that Haines had threatened to fix his wife.
 While Jason Haines, the eldest boy in the family, testifies that at one time Mrs. Haines hurled a plate at her hus- band, and that is the assertion of the murderer himself witnesses swore yes terday there was no evidence of any thing thrown on the day of the mur- der.

 Unpertdrbed by his predicament. Haines at the county Jail today was indifferent to the excitement that was caused by his act. He calmly read the accounts of his capture in the newspapers.
 He slept well during the evening, and this morning ate a hearty break fast. With the other prisoners, he called out, Good morning. MT. Scott, g in a cheerY manner, early today when the jailer visited the cell.

 There are no signs of remorse about Haines. No special watch has been placed over him, because Jailer Scott thinks it unlikely that he will attempt suicide. v The general belief is that if Haines planned suicide he would have killed himself after shooting his wife. He is still wearing his citi- zen'S clothes, which will be allowed him until he is sentenced.
 Nobody has been allowed to visit Haines except Attorney John S. Pull man, who is representing the town of TrumbulI.
 As a result of the application yes terday by Selectmen Lester M. SheI- ton, Charles G. Seeley and Howard s. Beach of TrumbulI for a trustee on tile estate of Haines, arrangements were today made in this matter. At torney J ohm s. Pullman, representing the town of Trumbull, called on Haines, yesterday, afternoon and Haines suggested a neighbor for a trustee but this man refused to act.
 Judge Pullman called again this morning on Haines and notified hiBn. that. he should select two conserva- tors. Accordingly, he named Ormel Hall, a practical farmer and Town Clerk Orville B. Burton, but this af- ternoon these men also refused to act.
 Haines thought he ought to have man familiar with farming as his crops are ready to be harvested and he has large estate that must be looked after in the interests of the children. As there is difficulty in getting somebody to act arrangements are being made this afternoon by Judge Pullman to make :, speedy set clement of the muddIe.
