HAINES DEFENSE
RESTS; INSANE"
SAY ALIENISTS

The defense rested in the Jason S.
Haines murder trial in the criminal
superior court at 1890 this afternoon
and the state began to call witnesses
in rebuttaL County Sheriff Simeon
Pease was the first to take the stand.
He said he had several conversations
with Haines while the accused was in
jail Haines did not display any alb
normal characteristics, the witness
said. The prisoner was quiet, made
no trouble and INDUCED in no wild
talk.
Sheriff Pease said Haines had writ
ten a number of letters to August
Kuehn of Fairfield, a witness for the
defense. After Kuehn had talked with
the prisoner the sheriff asked him
what he thought of Eaines and Kuehn
replied. ''I don't think he's crazy but
he's a very foolish man.
Jailer Matthew w. Scott was next
called. He declared he had never
seen Haines untils the day he was
brought to the jail. He thought the
and his clothes were soi1ed but other
wise his appearance was not different
than today. The witness claimed
Haines had made no outbreaks in Jail
and had been model prisoner.
William E. Wallace of Trumbu1 de-
clared he met Haines and former
Deputy Sheriff Berger the day the
prisoner was being brought to Jail.
Haines asked the witness some Ques-
tions about the team he was driving
and asked Wallace to take care of
the Haines children until something
could be done for them at their. own
home. There were no signs of mental
derangement about <F4aines, Wallace
stated.
The last witness for the defense was
DR.. Allen R. Diefendorf of New Ha-
ven. He stuck to his statement on the
direct examination that he found
Haines medically insane on the day

SAYS STATE DEPT.
ON VILLA ATTACK

Washington, March 9-Secretary
Baker transmitted to President Will
son reports about the attack on Co
Iumbus, N. M, as quickly as they
were received at the war departm ent.
It was said at the White House that
vigorous steps would be taken to pun
ish the bandits. The President direct
ed Secretary Baker to do everything
possible to protect the Americans.
At the state department it was said
that the situation was very serious
but that no announcement of what
action could be taken would be an
nounced until all official investiga-
ton was concluded.
While the policy of the administra-
ton so far has been to look to the
Carranza forces to deal with the ban

large number of Mexicans were
killed. Their bodies dotted streets
where they had been posted, picking
off Americans as they emerged pel1-
nell out of dwellings and hotels. Sew
eraI guests. are reported to have been
burned to death in the Central Hotel,
which was one of the first buildings
fired by Villas men.
Mexican bandits standing outside
the flaming building shot down A. L..
Ritchie, proprietor of the hotel, and
R. Walker, a guest, as they attempted
a dash out of the door. Both were
dead when picked up later.
C. C. Miller, owner of a, drug store,
was shot as he tried to enter the door
of the Hoovc- Hotel, an adobe struct-
ure, protecting a score of covering
women aid children, who remained in
the rooms while a bowling mob of
bandits surged through the surround
ing streets.
Although they first attacked the
camp of the Thirteenth cavalry, it
suffered little although a number of
American soldiers were killed and
wounded and a number of cavalry
horses ridden off by the Mexicans as
they fled back toward Mexico after
daylight.
The attack was a complete sur
prise. Villa deceived all the authori-
ties by dispatching telegram to
Hachitaw, N. M, last night, saying
that he was at the Nogales ranch in
Chihuahua, near the border, at least
miles from here. This
telegram was signed ostensibly by the
caretaker of the ranch and
stated that Villa personally was at
the ranch house.
All the while, however, the Mexi-
can bandit leader was making his
way from BosQues Grandez Ranch,
about IS miles southwest of here.
A Mexican scout gave an intimat1on
Of this. He reported late last night
that he saw two parties of Villas
men moving eastward from Bosques
Grandez Ranch toward PaIomas, an
abandoned Carranza outpost six miles
directly south below here.
Colonel H.. J. Slocum, commanding
the 18th cavalry, had heavy patrols
put and two troops of cavalry at Glib

The license to sell liquor in the
