Fisher held an autopsy on Lambert
Connors remains, and reports that Con-
nors died from acute alcoholism instead OF

bullets of Billy Butts, the man who killed
Green and Beeney on Broadway nearly
three years ago. Connors happened to
pass just when the fusillade occurred and
received a bullet in the leg, but he soon
recovered from the effects.
