Haines Sr., then left the homestead and came to this city where he was apprehend- ed by Policeman Martin Gottschalk the following morning and placed un- der arrest by order of warrant which was issued by Justice William F. Randall of Trunbull. Word was sent to the Trumbun authorities of the arrest of Haines and Constable E. P Berger of that place was sent to this city to place him under the GUS tody of the TrumbuH authorities.
 On his way back to the Trumbul1 lookup Haines was securely handcuff ed to the doughty constable and this matter greatly aroused the ire of the prisoner who could not see why he should be placed in the category of a criminal by being handcuffed to an officer of the law and thus escorted to his home town in view Of the pulp lie.
 He vociferously declared himself on the way to TrumbuI. Constable Der ger alleges, that he would "get the constable as we'll as his wife" This statement was issued when Ha1nes was in a fit of dire anger and the Trumbull officer looked upon it as
 
 No more attention was given the de- claration until the news of the bru- tai murder was forthconaing and not until then did Constable Berger con- sider the threat seriously.
 The temper of HaineS is appreciat- ed in Fairfield, where it is said that he had threatened the Italian-speak ing residents of farm house he has there. In fact, it has come to the attention of various persons i'm vestigating the case that an incen- diary fire, the burning of Patrick CarrolIs barn, has been secretly at- tributed to Haines.
 In Fairfield he was feared. It was known that he had a. large sup ply of guns and rifles on his proper ty His son was the envy of the neighbors for this fact, because he frequently avaiIed himself of them for hunting,
 The Hadnes family was always known for the quality of hunters in it. Jason. the boy, was the best shot of the group with which he travelled. His father was an excellent hunter as were his father and grandfafh- err
 Haines was always known as an in dependent man. When he was a boy this characteristic was very notiee- able. When he was 16 years old TrumbuIl residents say, he was left $1.8O0. At 16 he didn't have cent
 Mrs, Haines is said by neighbers near the home Of the tragedy to have been in many ways remarkable wo- man According to relations of her past which have been given in frag- rnents. before coming to this country she had been well educated in her na7 tive land and after visiting Paris where she was employed as domestic attached herself as travelling compan- ion to a wealthy family with whom she toured the Holy lands, and lived for many months in the envfrons of Con- stanfinopIe She had visited nearly every capitol in Europe.
 When in this country she was ena- ployed in Stratford at the Minor Smith shore house. Those who have since known her credit her with great love for her children, unusual business acunen and a woman of sound princd- pies.
 That Haines was prepared to get rid of his wife in one way or another be- came known to the state police yesteT- day who have learned that bn the morning of the crime he approached traf1ic ofacer in Bridgeport at Water street and Fairfield avenue aud told the policeman that he was tired of hv- ing with her as she was constantly abusing him. He had definitely decid- ed that he would offer her a specific weekly sum of money to separate from him and let him alone.
 That he may have made that offer direct to his wife when he arrived home few hours later is quite possi- ble. It may have been rejected and in the heat of argument he may have decided to rid himself of her by the means that ended in death.
 Jason Haines, the son of the mur- derer, bears the severe strain that Is being put upon him with remarkable 5 he has long assisted his father in the work of the farm, having had the com Inendation of his father, when speak ing to sfriends in this city a few hours before the tragedy darkened the young mans life.
 Young Jason remains upon the home stead, aiding those who have volun- teered to care for the stock and neces- sary farm duties. Although besieged by officers of the law and others to divulge facts about his fathers life which might tend to further incrini- nate him, the young man standing be- tween the course of the law and hlia1 devotion remains neutral. While it is evident that he respects the law and enforcement of justice and will do nothing to interfere with the course of law, yet he has not been heard to ut ter one word derogatory to the mem ory of his mother or the character of his father.
 Seen on the farm yesterday sur rounded by deputy sherifrs, reporters and curiosity seekers. the young man seemed both interested in the pursuit as well as oblivious to the stares that he was subjected to by those who merely came out of idle curiosity. Haines is well known in the north ern part of Newtown known as Han over district. He spent weeks at 1 time in his youth and early manhood at the home of his grandmother, Mrs Marcia Glover.
 The father of Haines. Jason, Sr., married Sophia Glover, a daughter of the well known resident of Hanover. who died before her son had reached manhood. The late Samuel Glova@. of Main street. Newtown, was his nm cle, and another descendant of She
