STOCKING
Used As A Holster By The
Butler Woman
Say Fellow TOWnSmGn Of The
Mrs. Butler
Held In The City OF Lima On
Murder Charge
Police In Lima Believe There
Was Third Person
Who Was Connected With
Mysterious Shooting

Danville, o., Dec. 1.-THE report
that Mrs. Mollie e. Butler was In jail
in Lima, charged with the murder of
her husband, Joseph Butler, caused
little surprise In Buckeye City, where
she has resided since last spring. Res
idents there today recalled rumors
that she was reported to have gone
about armed with revolver, using
her stocking as holster. She left here
for Lima ten days ago, and just be-
fore leaving she is said by Buckeye
City people to have made the remark
that when sne came back "she was
going to pump lead into the bunch
that had been talking about her."
During the past month she received
a number of letters purporting to
have been signed by her long-lost
brother, Abner Phillips, requesting
her to come to Lima. 1t Is thought
that they were written by Butler.
A letter received in Buckeye City
today, from the woman, said:
II drop you a few lines to let you
know what has happened since l left
Buckeye. You remember the letter l
got from Abner Phillips that he had to
have his arm amputated? That man
was Joe Butler, who decoyed me here
to kill me, but instead of killing me
he killed himself at 1880 Saturday
night His body is at the morgue. !
do not know what disposition will be
made of It, VIII be home as soon as
this over. God being my judge, He
stayed his hand and saved me from
his murderous intentions"

THIRD PERSON
May Have Been involved In Butler

May Have Been involved In Butler
Shooting at Lima
Lima, o., December 14-That a
third person may have been in the
room when Joseph Butler was killed
by revolver shot Is now the belief
of the police. Mrs. Butler at her pre-,
liminary hearing today tainted, and
was excused from the stand, the may
or refusing to hold her on the first de-
gree charge, intimating that charge
of manslaughter will develop. Mys-

If the wife committed one, has puzzled

short time before the shot, yet Steb-
elton on the stand denied having seen
the pair that day.
