SUPREME COURT
sREvERSEs BUTLER CASE

Courh Wednesday reversed the Butler
case On technicalities and dismissed
Butler
The opinion was written by Judge
James %. Fox. and concurred in by his
associates OF the criminal division,
judges Bames b. Can't and Judge Gavon
d. Burgess.
The case thus disposed of is that
one wherein Edward Butler Of st.
Louia was convicted of offering q
bribe Of $4,000 to Doctor Henry c.
Chapman OF the st. Louis Board of
Health for his vote on the city's gar
bage contract. The trial was taken to
Boone County on change Of venue, and
was held before the late Judge Hocl1a-
day. Butler was sentenced for three
years
Tho Supreme Courts opinion, cover
ing some sixty typewrittten pages, re-
verses the decision of the lower court
and discharges the defendent.
The main grounds for the reversal
are that the Board OF Health Of st.
Louis had no authority to make a con-
tract for the reduction of garbage, un.
der the City Charter, and therefore
Doctor Chapman was not acting in an
official capacity when approached by
Butler, and that by the testimany o.
the, prosecuting witness himself he was
not approached by Butler after the
10th OF September, 1901, and the ordi.
nance empowering the Board of Health
to mRlte a garbage contract was not
approved by the Mayor until the 18th
or day later. SO that no bride was
offered by Butler to any. one acting
in an official capacity.
