HAYNES BRUTAL ASSASSIN SAYS
 STATE TO JURY
Continued From Page One

which Haines maintained his charac- teristic attitude, neither showing emo tion nor taking apparent active inter est in the proceedings.
 Attorney Cummings arose at 10 minutes past 10 o'clock to continue his argument which had been uncom- pleted at adjournment last night.
 He contested a doctrine he said had been advanced by Judge DeFor- rest yesterday that if any one juror entertained a doubt that doubt should be given by all to the prisoner. State s Attorney then read from leading eases to show that the minority of jurors should agree with the majority in deliberation.
 He launched at once into the hy- pothetica1 question offered by the de- fense, repeating it item by item. An interruption by Attorney Klein upon the ground that the state was not adhering to the actual questions or reading it in full was over-ruled by the court.
 The states attorney criticised the opening issue of the question by stat ing that it misrepresented facts leav- ing out other important ones. He scored Haines for statements made about his dead wife on the witness stand, tried to show she had been a good housewife, said that drink does not give the license to kill scored witnesses Kuehn and Ryan as being prejudiced in favor of man they had known all their lives, contended that many persons use the word 'thang'' colIoquial1y and without liter al application to facts, and generally characterizing the hypothetical ques- tions as ttpure arrogant nonsense
 States attorney further Contended that no de1irium tremens was shown to have been present prior to the murder but admitted that it develop ed later from deprivation of food, shock caused by the shooting and that this delirium caused Haines' ap- prehension in Newtown. The state intimated that at all times he was cognizant of his act and it's conse- quences and intimated by reading the coroner's minutes that Haines had read of the case while in hiding.
 In summing up,i the state contended that the case has all the elements of first degree murder and that the ghast1y irony of the situation was shown in the will drawn by Haines which left his wife the possession of less property than would have been granted her by law if he died intes- tate and which referred to her as ''Iny beloved wife,
 Haines was further designated as "a, plain wife beater" for years. Sheriff Berger was excu1pated from criticism for handcufing Haines. The prisoner was scored for his acts be- fore the crime and remeditation was offered in the statements made to his boys and also to another when Haines is alleged to have said: ''She will not testify against me-
 '.She never did" said the states attorney, flor Haines stopped her stopped her with a shotgun" It was the contention of the state that firing one shot in the house while she did
 . that he then reloaded and fired two more shots outside the house, that the impulse to kill was exhibited towards her alone and at time when all others had left the house.
 Attorney Cummings made reference to t'an unInistakable Providence which rules in such cases He then showed the jury how at the moment that the first shot was supposed to have been fired another neighbor had taken off the receiver on the telephone being used by Mrs Haines and had heard her Shrieks inside the house, and had followed her outside the house to hear those which were fired a second time, according to the state.
 In closing argument, Attorney Cum mings said, after a drastic arraign- ment of the prisoner: These are hard things for me to say, God knows. 1 feel the responsibility of this case but
 
 duty as you (the jury) have sworn to do yours. In the face of all we have learned of this hideous tragedy can there be any doubt in your minds as to what your duties are? My task is done-the burden of responsibility are now yours. 'tGentlemen, put into your hands the integrity of the state of Connecti- cut, its dignity, its majesty, it's law and the sacredness of the lives of it's citizens. 'sYour duty is plain. The path be- fore you is set clear and you cannot with honor avoid treading it. Gentle men, it was a g11astIy tragedy; it was more than a tragedy, it was deliberate slaughter of poor defenseless woman who did not have even a dogs chance for her life. It was an assassination that under the laws of the State of Connecticut you gentlemen have sworn to uphold is-nurder in the first de- gree.'
 An attempt upon the part of Attor- ney Klein for the defense to have cer- tain statements in the states argu- ments changed was denied by the court with the later understanding that if deemed proper by the court the jury would be charged upon the sub- ject.
 A recess was taken until one o'clock.
