EXECUTION OF BUTLER.

70 The Governor Of The Gaol-
Disposal OF His Property.
SYDNEY, July l6.
Butler was executed this morning.
Death was instantaneous He walk
cd to the scaffold with firm step.
Although the officials have refus-
ed any Information, it is understood
that Butler has confessed. 1t is
stated that as the result Of a long
interview with the Rev. Mr.. Lane
yeste rdsy, the prisoner, who till
then was callous, became penitent,
and confessed to numbering Preston,
Weller, and Burgess. 1t is also al
legged that when Butler was shown
portrait of Price, young man
from Victoria, who disappeared my.
seriously, he recognized him and
said he had "put him under" The
unsatisfactory point about Prices
case is that a body supposed to be
his, but never clearly identified, was
found in the Parkes district, where
as Butler says he secreted the body
in another locality.
The execution was carried out
with the greatest despatch. This
was the result of a request made by
Butler yesterday. In reply to a
query by the governor Of the gaol as
to whether he could do anything for
him, Butler said. "All you can do
is to hasten the execution as much
as possible"
Butler did all he could to assist
the executioner in getting him ready,
and stepped quietly on to the trap.
Imediately the rope was fixed he
said, Let 60"
The governor OF the gaol furnish
ed report to the Attorney. General
stating that Butler called him into
his cell yesterday and made verbal
confession OF the murders of Pres
ton, Woller and Burgess.
He made similar confession to
Mr.. Lane, adding: 81 have been a
very bad man; and, if it were posi-
BILE, / deserved hanging over and
over again for the crimes / previous
ly committed"
Butler admitted to the Governor
OF the gaol that the sentence was a
just one
The Governors report to the At
torney- General made it appear that
the rumors regarding the man Price
are unfounded, So far as the prison
officials are aware, Butler never re-
ferred to Price, but from his de-
meanor and partial admissions it is
believed Butler could have account
ed for a man named Davis, who
mysteriously disappeared, and whom
the police endeavoured to trace.
| Under his will Butler left sundry
small articles to the governor Of the
gaol and other officials Of the Gov
ernment. The residue goes to his
sister in England.
The authorities decline to dis
close his real name.
July II.
Butler asked the authorities to write
to Preston's parents and express hi,
sorrow and contrition at the muir
der Of their son. The West Aus.
trslisn police have informed the
authorities here that they are GER
tain Butler committed the series Of
crimes known as the Burdoo muir
ders.
July 10.
The Rev. Mr.. Lane in an address
to his Sunday-school scholars yes
terday stated that day or two be
fore he was executed Butler asked
him to tell them that he was once |
Sunday-school scholar in little
England village. Drink brough
him to what he was.
