HiIl." she said. We were chatting when all of a sudden I heard short scream. Did you hear that?' Mrs. Burton asked. Before anything else was said, the most unearthly noise was in the telephone wires, something l have never heard before. I can't de- scribe it. Nobody could. It was Mrs. Haines screaming. It was the most terrible thing I ever heard.
 T knew it was Mrs. Haines. They are on our wire and I had known of the court case and had been wondering how they were going to adjust the pe- culiar circumstance of her appearing against him.
 ran out to the stoop. I heard the two shots. They came close together. Later the police cane.''
 Regarding the story that had been told by neighbors that she heard Mrs. Haines> cry out to Haines not to kill her, Mrs. Beach said that was not so. She said the terror of the screaming woman would allow of no intelligible words. She didn't hear the first shot, distinct from the two that came close together, according to young Haines, she said.
 James Jacques, negro, former. saloon keeper and horse race pro- moter of 7, Union square, was visited by the coroner. Haines was in his place Saturday night.
 Jacques said that Haines asked him to have a drink, which invitation was refused. Haines then said: They had me arrested and hand cuffed.' He was pressed for details and he told of his arrest for assault. Then he launched into discussion of his troubles with his wife. Jacques said he couRse1led Haines his dornes- tic troubles were no business of his and he didn't wish to hear them.
 EIn T fxUn or As. Q won't appear against me- Jacques said. Jacques i1tirnated that it was said in a menacing manner.
 According to Sheriff Pease, Jacques said Wednesday night to him and State Policeman Vire1li that Haines asserted: .tI'H fix her. She won't appear against me-"

 How the authorities sought for Haines through woman became known Thursday when Sheriff Pease and state detectives searched the lonely stretches of woods ranging be- tween the Stratfield district and the home of Haines in Trumbu1l
 It was found that a woman now living in an isolated section of the woods not far from sHaines present home had been on intimate terms with him in theApast and might have had friendly interest in his com cealfnent should he have presented himself at her door. for protection.
 TO avoid such a contingency, Sher- if Pease visited the place on We'd nesday and made a thorough search of the premises. State Policeman Frank Yirelli is said to have been mo- pie dating from several years past when both Haines and the woman lived nearby in Fairfield. As far as Sheriff Pease can learn, however, they haven't seen each other lately.
 Report is current that Virelli SD pent the entire night alone in the densest part of the woods tracking back and forth between the little hut and the Haines farm in the hopes that he would apprehend the murderer. That his presence may have been noted Wednesday night and driven the fugi- tive towards Newtown is not unlikely. aanr m Tn nIasf m
