A Boy Who Wanted His Fathers



Wealth.
A boy named 'Professor'' Hopkins aged
about ten years, and young man named
George Diggs, are under arrest at the
fourth precinct station on the charge of
attempting to kill William Hopkins, father
of Professor
According to statements made in the case
the boy some time since became imbued
with the idea that if his father was dead
all the money belonging to his father would
Immediately come into his possession. and
he could then have a good time spending it,
With this end in view. the boy on Mon
day of last week. went to drug store
near his home, which is at No. 200 AZ
street southwest, and purchased Is cents
worth of arsenic, stating to the druggist
that his father wanted it for the purpose
of killing rats, and as the druggist knew
both the boy and his father the poison was
furnished to him
Professor than took the poison home and
awaited an opportunity to make of it
on his father. The chance came the follow
ing Friday. when Fannie Taylor, a domestic
employed by Mr.. Hopkins. made potato
pie for dinner All of this was not eaten at
the noon meal. and during the afternoon
the boy managed to mix a good quantity
OF arsenic in the pie.
At supper the remains of the pie were
put on the table, and Mr.. Hopkins and the
girl partook of it, but Professor did not
The two former were almost Immediately
taken sick, and doctor was sent for, who,
after much effort succeeded in bringing
his patients around all right.
The physician announced that he dis
covered signs of arseniCal poisoning, but
no suspicion was attached to any one until
yesterday. when Mr.. Hopkins learned of
the purchase of the arsenic by Professor
The latter was questioned by his father,
and under pressure confessed that he had
committed the offense and at the same
time stated that he had been urged by
George Diggs to do the deed. The boy and
DiSgs were then arrested
II is expected that Professor viii be ar
raigned in the Police Court tomorrow on
the charge of attempted murder and Diggs
as an accessory.
Mr. Hopkins is prosperous grocer and

property.
