ices from his population estimates

figure of 100000 the death rate
rose from ga in 1913 10 S.5.

DIFFERENT THEORIES

One theory is that, forced TO the
shoulder of the highway Hooper
turned off the ignition as a gun
man 'leaped from the other car,
but Capt. William Hansen of the
Jackson state police post is con-
WINGED that the killer was driving
Hooper's car and that the maroon
sedan was driven by confederate
for the getaway.
This would be borne out by the
fact that Hooper's body was on
the right side of the front seat
and the shots struck him on the
left side of the head
His lighted cigaret set fire 10
the seat cushions and severely
burned the body during the one
hour interval between the shoot
ing and the discovery of the crime.
Another reason bearing out
! HanSens contention is that foot
prints found on the left side of the
death car were in only one direc-
ton. leading away from the death
