miles southwest of Mancelona The
neighbors who had made the discovery
of the atrocious double murder hastily
spread the alarm and posse of angry
farmers was organized II was learned
that HOPPER was missing since the
night before. when the dual crime
must have been committed and
search for him, at once begun, was re-
warded by finding him covering in a
patch of underbrush along a roadway
where he had evidently fed. He was
with difficulty placed under arrest by
the sheriff of Antrim county and his
deputies. as the crowd of pale-faced
men seemed intent. at first, on string
ing him to the nearest tree.

greatly agitated and told the members
of the family who met him that he
was going to kill himself

die, HOPPER had merely muttered some
thing and hurried on down the road.
The mans dazed look and strange
actions aroused the neighbors' suspic-
ions. 1t had been rumored for some
time that the domestic relations of the
Hopfers were strained and telephone
message was sent to the sheriff's Of
flee at Bellaire. the county seat. Sher-

Immediately set out for the HOPPER
home. But before they arrived. the
neighbors had found the bodies Of the
cruelty murdered wife and babe
AS soon as the sherif's party had
overtaken HOPPER, in the bushes and
he found he was caught. he was sur
rounded by angry farmers who spoke
of "stringing him up" Cooler heads
prevailed and the sheriff asked the
man why he committed the crime.

replied He is also said to have as
serted that he and his wife had quar-
relied over financial matters.
Il cut their heads off with an AK"
the officers say HOPPER declared.
He was taken to Bellaire and
charge of dual murder lodged against
him
II is understood from neighbors that
there had been domestic trouble in the
HOPPER family for some time.
The body of both the woman and
her child were hacked. probably after
being decapitated, as though in mani
acal fury The bedroom Of the farm
house was i'm order. save for the blood
soaked bedding The clothing IF he
murdered woman hung on the foot Of
the bed undisturbed. She and her babe
had been foully butchered in their
sleep
No one heard any outcries. There
are no neighbors living close by, The

away
HOPPER admitted that he killed his
wife and baby by cutting their heads
off with an ak. He said that a quarrel
over financial troubles had driven him
