BURIED TOTS
ALIVE, CHARGE
Michigan Farmer, Unrepent-

an Expense.

LANSING. Mich, Oct. 1s.-Earl Roop,
Okenlos IA rmer. who confessed yesterday
thar he had taken his two little daughters,
Dorothy ana Bernice, aged 2 and : years,
respectively, and buried thpsn alive n the
mud and slime of REQ Cedar River. will
be given q preliminary hearing Friday
morning on a charge Of first-d degree naur-
der. -
He stood mute when arraigand and a
plea ef not guilty vas entsaeG n ne
eonrt. ps
The coroner decided no inquest Is
necessary.
Roop is to be examined by alienists
today to determine his sanity.
In the meantime Roop. his clothes stiIl
bedraggied and spattered with the mud
from his children's grave. sits in Jail
here, apparently unconcernec and unre-
pentant.
eIt was going to be a hard winter and
the girls were an expense" is his 5usti-
ncation for his mad act
He insists that both children are more
happy now.
AT the Roop farm the wife and mother
does not know yet that her husband has
killed their two daughters.
She is making a mothers brave fight to
keep alive a tiny son, born six days ago.
The hst time sne saw tne chiidAen
was when Roop took them away from
her bedside Monday afternoon $50 they
would not bother her."
From the bedroom Roop, according
TO his confession, led his two little girls
through a feld to a Shiny bayou Of the
river.

a drug / got in Okemos. Then / got
busy digging a hole in the old aban-
doned river bed.
"By that time the fresh country air
had partially restored consciousness to
them and the older girl walked to the
hole, while I carried the younger.
II put them both in the hole and
held their heads under water so they
would not suffer Then the muck and
slime began TO ooze in and soon they
were both buried"
Fear that he would be unable to pro-
vide for his family is sthe only reason
Roop has given for his act.

chiefly this year." he said, but both
failed. From ten ncres of oats the best
could get was forty bushels. and
the potatoes were no good"

today, but sympathy for the suffering
mother. restrained their curiosity to some
extent
