l.. Hawkins and Harry ellis of Della
ware was attorney, A. B. Magee oil
Dover, who advised peremptorily
against the arrest Of Butler until the
steamboat reached the Delaware shore.
"Oh well, we can wait" retorted
Lore and just three minutes after leav
ing Bowers Beach Hawkins and Lore
served the warrant on Butler who for
the first time, appeared seriously dis
turbed.
Meantime Lore had obtained from
Butler a signed statement. Butler took
his arrest and looking up in the cell
rather calmly He had no communi-
cation with his family as he does not
live with his wife
Acting on the theory that this bag con-
'tained the body Of Horace n. Marvin, De-
.tectives Lore and Hawkins followed out
this clue, and as the result decided to
ARREST Butler.
Every other possible clue or theory was
run out, but nothing new developed and
when it was learned that Butler had spent
lat the very least six minutes in the COM
pany Of the Marvin boy twenty-five min-
.utes prior to the disappearance Of the lad,
Detective Hawkins went before Justice OF
the ePace Wood and swore to an affidavit
calling for Buffers arrest.
Detectives at Odds.
Deputy Attorney General Hastings
notified Detective Hawkins and Mag
istrate Wood that he would be ready
for Buffers hearing at o'clock and
Butler was committed meantime with
out bail.

May Be Another Arrest.
The consensus of opinion among the
residents of this city and farmers as
we'll is that Butler knows little if any
thing about the case. They reason that

the purpose Of Detectives Hawkins and

Hearing Set For Tomorrow.
Detectives Lore and Hawkins ex-
amined Butler at noon and obtained
some new evidence which they deem
most important.

woods on Dave Moore's place." said
Butler, "when something dropped OF
the load just as you enter a boggy
place"
Here Detective Gllis got busy with a
carriage. The wods mentioned by Butler
is the same place where Lucy Killen's
mysterious tale of being held up by two
white men originated.
Butler came into this subject incidentally
because tho detectives were forcing him

every unusual incident that occurred even

driving while Butler sat on the load.
Detective Hawkins made complaint 10
Governor Lea against the persistent Inter-
ference Of the Pinkerton men and charged
that Assistant Superintendent r. II. Lint

.delphia not to dare tell the Delaware and
New eJrsey detectives anything, no matter
what they did.
With the additional evidence they OBJ
'tained it was decided to postpone the hear
ing until tomorrow morning.
The Kent County Grand Jury was dis
charged last evening without having an
opportunity to finish its investigation Of
the Marvin case.
