May Recover.
Willis Butts, "BiIly tho PAGER" is now
in fair way of recovery. and unless some
unforeseen setback occurs Billy will live
to be tried for two murders.
When first brought to the Receiving Hos
pital on Sunday night last, after he had
run amuck on Broadway and laid out two
men. it was thought that "rhe PAGER"
washed. His body was literally perfo-
rated with bullet-holes, and his death was
looked upon as certainty. His wounds
were first attended 10. and the men whom
he had shot. each with a bullet in his
stomach. were supposed to be far better
off than Billy.
His two victims have died and the tramp
still lives. When asked yesterday why he
did the shooting he answered: II don't
know"
Mr.. Larsen, the steward at the hospital,
remarked to Billy: well, it's wonder
you didn't shoot more people firing in the
street in that way"
Billy replied: Il wish Ihad missed more
of them"
Butts has little to say of his antecedents.
but he has told Of his family to a priest
who has called upon him frequently. He
blames the shooting entirely upon the
whisky he drank, and makes protesta-
tiOns for temperance in his future life.
The feeling against Butts is verv bitter,
particularly among the friends of Beeny.
The inquest was held at o'clock last
night and verdict rendered charging
Willis Butts with murder. The same ver-
dict was returned in the inquest on the
BODY of William Green.
