 with iaceration of the brain, caused when she was beaten with a rifle barrel in the hands of her husband. Medical examiner Wilbur J. Moore of Cheshire made a autopsy on the body of Mrs. Hivon and his report was filed with the coroner.
 Lawrence Reed, 30, who had boarded at the Hivon home and was present there on the night of the murder, has also been held at New Haven county jail since September IS. He will be presented in Che- shire court tomorrow, according to authorities, and the state will ask that he be again ordered held as Q material witness.
 An Ex.Prize Fighter
 Eiivon, an ex-prizefighter, was captured in Hamden the day fol- lowing the murder of his wife. Lieut.. William Schatzman of the Beacon Falls barracks of the state police says that he has Q 10-page confession from Hivon in which he admits the murder.
 Hivon has hired the services of Attorneys Charles Lyman and Franklin Coeller, as counsel.
 Six witnesses, including two of Mrs. Hivon's children by former marriage, were examined by Cor oner MonZani before the issuance of the finding. He says that Hivon and his wife had lived in Cheshire together and had been joined about year ago by the boarder, Lawrence Reed.
 Coroner Monzani states that hus- band and wife quarreled continual ly, principally over the property where they lived, which was in the name of the deceased. Incentive For Crime Perhaps the real incentive for the murder occurred on August 15 when Hivon returned from @ visit with his mother in New Haven, created a disturbance, and then threatened to shoot his wife and Reed with S shotgun. AS result of this he was arrested for breach of the peace and sentenced to jail for month. He was discharged from jail on September 13 (the day before the murder) went back to Cheshire and took his belongings from the house. Anticipating trouble he took officers with him SO there would be no quar- rel, but in spite of this he became involved in an argument He spent that night at his mothers house. Turned Goods Into Cash
 The coroner says he then disposed of his belongings, turning every- thing possible into cash and bought Q .22 caliber Winchester repeating rife from Samuel Herschderfer of 109 Dixwell avenue, who operates a pawn shop, He purchased shells to fit 1t, then got some liquor, drank some of it and then left New Ha- ven by bus for Cheshire. He arrived at Ives Corner about 8 p. m.
 He then proceeded toward his wife's home, assembling and load- ing the gun as he went. When he arrived at the house Mrs. Hivon was asleep on the ground floor and Reed was asleep on the second floor. He broke into the house and threat ened his wife with gun, while Reed jumped out the upper window and ran to telephone for the police. Although he shot her several times, the mortal wounds were caused by the clubbing with the rifle. Coroner Monzani says that although Mrs. Hivon had a gun he cannot find evidence that she used 1t.
