Drunken Mi..ourian Murder. . Child.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. ia Republic Lamar
special says: at Kenoma yesterday Rob-
ert HOPPER, who had been drinking during
the day went to the house of Mrs. Cooley
and murdered her son, aged 6, and left for
dead her daughter, aged years. He then
riied the house of valuables. He was
arrested and lodged in Jail here. Great
excitement exists in the neighborhood
where the crime was committed, and it
was thought an attempt would be made
to take him from jail. HOPPER profanely
denies his guilt, but the little girl, who is
improving clearly fastens the crime on
him. Late this evening he attempted sui
eide in the jail by hanging with a rope
made out of blanket, and was not dis
covered until he had grown black in the
face. Later, fearing summary vengeance,
the sheriff took the murderer to Nevada,
in this state.

covered importont evidence in the doctors
favor. They say that one of the prosecu-
TONS witnesses, name withheld, told sew
