HAPGOOD ARRESTED.
Murderer Of Aged Samson
Seaverns Found in Bed.
Suffering from Bullet Wound in Abdo-
men, Undoubtedly SeIf-InAicted.
Is Feeble Minded and Thought to Have Brooded
Over fancied Wrongs.

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 20.-Leo Hap
good. n farm hand, who murdered
Samson Seaverns, SO years old, his for
mer employer. in his home at Rutland.
Sunday night, was captured at 6
o'clock Monday morning, by Inspector
Arthur F.. Roche of the Worcester po-
lice force. State Detective Pelig Muir
ray, Deputy Sheriff Boutwell, ana
Constable Hanff of Rutland. The mur-
derer was asleep in his bed in the
house of William Fitzpatrick in
Holden. where he had been boarding
since Christmas. He was found to be
suffering himself from a bullet wound
in the abdomen inflicted by himself.
He claims he wounded himself acci-
dentally. He was taken to Worcester
and lodged in the county Jail.
The murder of the aged man was n
deliberate and bloodthirsty crime. The
murderer entered the house about
o'clock Sunday night. shot the old
man dead as he lay asleep in bed and
then pounded his head to a jelly with
an axe Hapgood then went upstairs
where he found the wife and daughter
of his victim. After telling them what
ne n:tu uOnt, fiapSOOd itIl tiic iou'N
and proceeded toward Holden. The
crime was actuated by revenge. :.
Hapgoods wound is not expected to
result seriously. The officers thlnk ne
NAV have attempted to end his own
life. 1t is generally believed that his
mind became unbalanced through his
brooding over wrongs, real or fancied
done him by Mr.. SeaVernS, who last
year discharged him from his employ.
Hapgood has never been regarded as
a bright person. He has been em-
ployed on farms about Rutland and Vi
cirity for a number of years. He is Al
wears of age, single. slim built. short in
stature and of dark complexion. He
has relatives living in Oakham and his
father, who is well along in years, lives
in Rutland. Since severing his connec-
tion with Seaverns he has spoken on
different occasions of having grudge
against his former employer.
Mr.. Seaverns was regarded as an in
dustrious farmer, who had by dint OF
hard and tireless labor and thrift made
a good living. The body was left al
the house. last night, and, this morn
ing. DIR. Chamberlain performed al
autopsy. Mrs. Seaverns and hei
daughter insisted on remaining at the
house all night and refused to go tc
a neighbors. They are prostrated over
the crime and it is feared that the aged
wife may never realize the terrible ca
Iamity that has befallen her.
