The Hinckley family murder is
now history, it having been COM
mitted by the youngest of two sons
at a late hour Wednesday night OF
last week when most of the country
side was asleep after honest hours
of harvest toiling, but mute evidence
of the standing of the Walter Hopkins
family in the community and in the
agricultural life of the community
southeast of Hinckley, is still there
and will remain for all time in so
far as the depth of the tragic i'm
preston on all neighbors and friends
of the slain people is concerned.
It was while his invalid mother,
hard working father and conscien-
tious brother, Paul, were sleeping that
Harlan Hopkins took their lives. II
was while they were banded to-
gether in affording him high school
education and all of the conven-
fences of a modern home with plenty
to eat and wear that he considered
a plan to be free from them. And
still the II year-old killer, who COM
mitted his deed with % caliber rifle
and sought to hide the crime with de-
struction of the house by fire, says
he has no regrets and that he did it
for the benefit of humanity"
Relatives, Neighbors Stunned.
It is difficult for close neighbors
and relatives of the slain family to
actually realize what has happened;
and it is difficult for Mr.. and Mrs.
Lester Hopkins of Hinckley village,
brother and sister-in-law of the slain
couple, who had shared their home
for the past two winters with the
young murderer while he was getting
high school education, to realize
that it could be he who would COM
NIT such a crime.
His was of more than average in
telligence He finished the prescribed
high school course in the Hinckley
schools last year and was of a quiet,
reserved type, who made few friends
because he never sought them. He
finished that course partly because it
was his father, mother and brother
who sacrificed for him and because
of the kindness of his uncle and aunt
in Hinckley; because his brother,
Paul, had quit his school at the end
of the eighth grade to assist on the
farm, while he was trying to save
humanity"
Of course, say those who have
heard of and have read of the crime,
the boy must not have been just
right when he plotted and when he
committed the deed" However, the
crime was committed and the boy
says he has no regrets; that he did
not love his parents and as a result
one more family is wiped from the
face of the earth, just because another
person has not seen the teaching OF

FRANK PAzDEN
STOPS HARRIS,
STEVENS WINS
TurcOtte and Carlo Add to
Knockout Records; Ken
Reinhard Halted

Frankie Pazden Of Oakville, who
ruled the lightweight division Of
the state four years ago, proved to
2,30O paying customers of the Wa
terbury A. G. at the Randolph and
Cloves Stadium last night that the
old adage, they never come back,
is a lot of hooey by stopping the
veteran Chick Harris Of New Brit
ain In the first round via tech
nical knockout.
Pazden won when Referee Geor-
gle Proto of New Haven stopped the
bout when an eyelid cut made Har-
ris bleed profusely. The Oakville
lad Waded In from the opening bell
and after landing punches galore
tied Harris up. The Hardware City
lad failed to land a decent punch
on Pazden in the two minutes and
IS seconds of action.
Turc0tte Looks Good
Dick Turcotte looked better than
ever last night in repeating over
Bobby Ellis of New Britain. Ref
cree Proto stopped the one-sided
match In the third round after
Turcotte made human punching
bag out of his head. The French
southpaw proved last night that
his only weapon Is not his left as
he used his right for effective jab-
bling throughout.
Tommy Carlo packed too much
dynamite In his right for Art Smith
of Meriden and the Silver City
blonde went down three times in
the opening round, finally staying
on the canvas after his third trip.
George Stevens, Dave Kelly's
collegian, threw innumerable punch
es at Joe Welick's 172 pound frame
In All-Waterbury go which was a
humdinger. Stevens was too smart
for his elder foe who was content
TO throw one punch and then hang
on. Several stiff rights almost
rocked Welick to sleep in the last
canto.
Stire Wins Another
Joe Stire, known to his friends as
Alex, showed plenty of fight in
stopping the game Freddy Domins
Of New Haven in the last round. A
bad cash over the Elm Cityite's eye
resulted in technical kayo for the
local protege.
Teddy Mays Of this city, exhaust
ed from wild swinging with Fan
kie Roberts, 1874, of New Britain,
folded up in the last round and
was counted out.
Ken Reinhard OF Middlebury, 1853,
was stopped by blonde Tommy
Walsh OF Meriden In the third
round when his handlers threw in
the towel after Walsh popped him
on the whiskers and sent him to
the canvas. Reinhard didn't know
where he was temporarily and was
little put out by his handlers act
although he should realize they did
the right thing.
Kid Sal Stricken
Kid Sal Of Meriden, stricken In
the dressing room, had Young War
rem, his second, substitute for him
against Joey PoloWitzer Of Windsor
Locks and Warren punched out
decision.
Russ Barnes, Negro, decisioned
Henry .Ozell Of Shelton in the
opening bout which was dandy.
Barnes floored Ozell several times,
but could not keep him down.
Jack johnson, Windsor Locks
Negro, decisioned Billy Fitzgerald of
New Britain, after dropping Fitzie
In the first for an eight count with
hard right to the chin.
George Proto did swell Job as
referee.
