him and asked him to accompany him to the house, SO ne could get his clothes and leave permanently. He had served one month in jail, having been sentenced from Cheshire court on a charge of breach of peace preferred by his wife, whom he murdered last night. She had claimed that he threatened to kill her.
 State police at the scene of the crime, which is located about three miles from the center of Cheshire, in an out of the way and God forsaken stretch of territroy, were in charge of Sergeant Gene Lenzi of the Beacon Falls barracks of the state police department.
 In re-enacting the crime, police stated that they believed Hivon ar- rived at the house shortly after 9 o'clock last night and found the one and only entrance bolted fast. They believe he was intoxicated.
 Immediately he became enraged and started shooting through the window of the room where he knew his wife was sleeping. Apparently only one of these shots found their mark for blood was found on the bed approximately where Mrs. Hivon's legs would be located. After being shot, Mrs. Hivon ran upstairs, it is believed, where the boarder who also acted as hired man, was sleeping. The latter immediately arose, dashed to the rear of the house and dived through @ window, falling 12 feet or nor to the ground.
 While this was going on, Hivon fired one shot through the upper floor window, this imbedding itself in the ceiling. He then decided to enter the house, and there is evi- dence that he broke the door win dow, reached in and opened the latch, thus gaining admittance. He then started to search the house for his wife, and holes in the walls shows that several shots were fired after he gained entrance.
 It is believed that after her hus- band entered the house Mrs. Hivon decided to attempt to get out, and band stopped her and scuffle fol- lowed. And what scuffle 1t must have been! Chairs were overturned, an oil stove was on its side, a win. dow was shattered, and recently canned chili sauce was splattered all over the floor-rningled with the broken glass.
 Although the murder occurred at approximately 9:l5, Ryan did not arrive at the town courthouse until after 10 o'clock with the news of it, brigning Constables Leslee Hub- bell and LeRoy Carpenter to the scene. State police were then noti- fled, and the successful hunt with posse and dogs organized.
 A brother in law of the former boxer William Delong, who works for the municipality of West Haven, arrived on the scene today to look after the household interests. He immediately employed a neighbor, Robert Small, as caretaker for the time being.
 It is expected that a grand jury will be called shortly in an at tempt to get an indictment for first degree murder. If the states at.. torney does ont take immediate jurisdiction, either Judge Luke Stapleton or Judge Graham Hitch cock of Cheshire will hear the case first. Reference to the superior court will of course follow subsequently,.
 The capture of Hivon was made within IS hours, and less than five miles from where the murder was committed. Hamden is the next town south of Cheshire.
 Hivon is believed to have been breeding over his imprisonment, and the double misery of being served with divorce papers while at the New Haven county jail. In addition 1t was reported that he did not ap- prove of the presence of the boarder, Ryan, in the house while he was away.
 The house is on the bank of the old Northampton canal, which runs alongside of the railroad tracks. Ducks swim peacefully in the canal, but the situation was regarded as "the ideal place for a murder"
 The body was removed to the Gould funeral home at Southington, at the order of Dr. Wilbur J. Moore, medical examiner. He will perform an autopsy to determine if the woman died of the bullet wounds or of the bludgeoning.
 Reed, the boarder, is still being detained at the Cheshire lookup, as a witness.
 Her marriage to Hivon was Mrs. Hivon's second, 1t was learned, and she had two children by her first husband, named Kennar. A daugh- ter, Mrs. Marion Gamble, lives near by and a son, Joseph, could not be located.
