HOW CAPT. WELLER WAS BURIED.


bodies two days after Butler had salIeu
from Newcastle. These men had APP
parently been induced to dig their own
graves.
Howlong this murderous business has
been conducted, and to what extent it
has been carried, can at this time only
be conjectured, but, since the author
tiles are satisfied that Butler is the
murderer and investigation is being ex-
tended, the crimes apparently grow in
appalling numbers.
At first the cause of so many young,
vigorous and well-armed men being
missing and the discovery of the bodies
of apparently murdered men were mat
ters of great mystery, but when in
every case the missing man and the
dead body were in some way associated
with the same person, and that person
was Frank Butler, suspicion was
aroused that grew into almost con-
elusive evidence that he had been the
murderer in every case.
Then began a search on the part Of
the authorities for Frank Butler, and it
was found that he had travelled over a
broad extent of country, under differ
ent names, always had money without
having a visible means Of earning it,
and that wherever he went persons
were missing. He was traced from
place to place, and from his movements
was supposed to be aware that officers
Of the law were after him.
Finally, on the 30th of November, he
was traced to Newcastle, and then it
WINS learned that, under the name Of
Weller, he had shipped for San Francis
co but two days before.
The Australian detective, Roche, hav-
ing procured the necessary warrant, at
once started after Butler, but in the OPP
posite direction. Butler had sailed east
on O slow boat, and Roche started west
on fast steamer, intending to meet the
criminal on the opposite side of the
earth.
United States marshals are at San
francisco ready to assist the Australian
authorities in executing the extradition
papers that have been granted by the
authorities in Washington, and which
were procured by the detective while
en- route.
The detective, with the marshals,
was o, the revenue tug Hartley, cruis-
ing near the Farallone islands, waiting
for the coming of the Swanhilda, and
Frank Butler promptly found himself
under arrest charged with series of
eold-blooded murders, before he set his
feet on dry land.

very frequent whenever Frank Butler
operated that suspicion was aroused
and he fed the country, shipping from
Newcastle on November 81 as com
mon sailor on the Swanhilda, under the
name OF Capt. Lee Weller.
The last of Buffers victims was Le-
sagh, and he went from Sidney with
Butler and never returned. Finally
his body was found in the Black ranges,
near Parkes, and every evidence pointed
to murder. Nothing of value was
found on the body. His remains were
found in very shallow grave, which
he apparently had dug with his own
hands. The quite reasonable conclu-
sion is that Butler directed him to dig
in the hope of finding evidence Of pay
! ing ore, and when the hole was suffi-
GENTLY deep he was murdered and
placed in it after his money was taken.
Capt. Lee Weller and Edward Soren-
sen were murdered by Butler with the
same details near Sidney about the first
day of last September. Their friends
became alarmed, instituted q search
and. with the help of dog. found the

MURDER HIS BUSINESS.
Man Who Has Made Homicide His
Sole Profession.
Frank Butler Killed Many Persons for a
Few Dollars. and Usually Com
PEELED His Victims to Dig
Their Graves.

The most bloodthirsty murderer
known to the annals of crime is Frank
Butler, an Englishman, 40 years of age,
who came to San Francisco few days
ago on the ship Swanhilda. When
Butler reached shore he was arrested
by detectives who had awaited his ar
rival.
Australia has been the field of this
mans horrible work. 1t is known that
at least IA persons have been murdered
by him, for the purpose of robbery, and
for good reason it is believed that many
more have been his victims during the
last year, for many persons who have
mysteriously disappeared have been

EXPOSITION PLAN GIVEN UP.
MIlwaukeesns Finally Abandon the Project
for SemIcentennial Fair.


For the second time the project to
hold a semicentennial exposition in
Milwaukee has been killed. At meet
ing Of the committee of 100 held last
December it was decided to abandon the
exposition plan to celebrate in 1898 the
1iftieth anniversary of the admission of
Wisconsin to statehood. Then Alvin
p. Kletzsch, Of Milwaukee, asked to be
given a months time in which to raise
100000 in Milwaukee, it being sup
posed that if that city contributed that
amount the state Legislature would
make handsome appropriation. The
other day another meeting of the com.
mittee was held. Mr.. Kletzsch re-
ported that his committee had already
raised 1925, 900 and there was no doubt
about securing the full amount II an
extension of time was granted.
It then developed that many people
living outside the city were opposed to
the holding of the exposition in Mil
waukee, and that they would influence
the members of the legislature from
making an appropriation, and so the
project was definitely abandoned.
Before the committee adjourned a
resolution was adopted fayoring cele-
bration Of a historical character at
Madison, the state capital. The legis-
lature will be asked TO appropriate
money for the publication Of records.
