According to the report, General

General Gomez. General Gomez, ac-
cording to the Mexican version, sent

After having been in an extremely

ployed in the schools of Bridgeport, is
very much improved at ST. Vincent's s

Miss. Poland has been in the hos

The injury was slight She put COL

Whether from this or from contact

infection become that she was remov-

At the opening he desired to change
a statement made by him yesterday
with reference to having a telephone
call noted in his Office records which
shows that he had been called on the
telephone by Constable Emil Berger
on the Friday preceding the crime and
told not to come to Trumbu1I because
Mrs. Hadnes had been taken to a

had called upon him to go and he did.
Taking up his qualifications in med
icine Dr.. Adams showed that he had
practfced in Bridgeport since 1895 He
had observed many alcoholic and de-
lirfum tremens cases in his practice
About 80 per cent of such cases are

He said that when called to the
morning of the crime he found
Haines exhibiting extreme nervous
ness, he kept walking about picking
up things and putting them down
again, tried to get some water and
spilled it. In an attempt to get some
lost his balance in getting over a
fence and fallen backwards. DR..

ined that they were going to hang
him in Trumbuu for the assault up

that everybody in Trumbull was

nFium tremens; in other words in the
first stages of de1irium tremens.''
August F. Kuehn, of Fairfield, liv-

known Haines for many years was the
next witness for the state. Haines
had visited|his farm on the Sunday
preceding the crime. He knew that
Haines supported his wife. Haines
Always was dQO1CL00 10 intoxicating

Haines was inca pab1e of taking care
of himself and asked many foolish
questioned when he visited Kuehn on
that Sunday. He wanted Kuehn to go
riding with him but did not know
where they might go. Haines did not
want to be alone. He looked wild
and his eyes were wandering He
could not stay still, was very restless.
Witness had often seen him nervous
but never in such bad condition, and
Kuehn would not ride with him.
Kuehn considered him insane
On cross examination the witness
admitted that the fact that Haines
wanting to take him for a ride with
out any definite destination might not
be unusual except in connection with
other circumstances. Haines thought
he saw many things about the Kuehn
place that were changed but which
were the same as seen by Haines be-
fore. Witness had known Haines
since 1888 but never before thought
him insane.
He admitted that he had talked
with Sheriff Simeon Pease about
Haines but denied that he then told
the sheriff that he did not think

made related to some other act.
