Modesto, Cal. June 25.-Twelve-
year-old Cecil Hopkins, Self-confessed
slayer of his 6-year-old brother The
odore, made a statement to the cor
oner today that strengthens the off,
Gals in the belief that the victim
was buried alive in the pig pen, where
his body was found yesterday.
"He breathed little and stretched
his arms" said Cecil. In describing
the tragedy, and referring TO incl
that made gaping wound in the lit
tie boys head.
Cecil was kept in Jail all night and
refused to talk until today, when the
coroner made a determined effort to
set the details from the child's own
lips. AS he told OF the shooting and
subsequent burial Of his brother, Cecil
munched some candy that had been
given him at the jail, and apparently
failed to realize the gravity of the
situation.
According to his story, he killed lit
tie Theodore while the parents were
absent from home. The two were
eating luncheon in the house and they
quarreled over the food. He first
drove his brother from the house. Ce-
Gil said then followed. and in burst
of anger seized shotgun and fired
at the fugitive.
Fearing the consequences Of his
deed when his parents should return,
he laid the form OF his baby brother
in the shadow Of a tree while he made
an excavation in the end OF the pig
pen.
While the grave was being dug, Ce-
Gil said, Theodore moaned and once
stretched his arms.
Upon the return OF his father and
mother. Cecil professed ignorance Of
the whereabouts of Theodore, and as
sisted in the search until the body
was recovered.
Inc cramped position of the arms
and the fact that the victims mouth
was filled with sand, add to the theory
that the child was buried alive.

governments.
A decision i'll regard to the meeting
