Arrested Wrong Man For
Alleged Murderer Butler

Miami, Sept. 21--According to
kilograms received from Rochester,
N. Y, authorities, the capture of
James Butler, the alleged murderer
Of Adam Boggs and daughter, as re-
ported in previous kilograms sent
here, was erroneous. Butler is still
at large and his whereabouts are
shrouded in as much mystery as
weeks ago, if not more.
1t appears that the authorities
were working on the theory that
Butler was going under an assumed
name, adopting the non de plume
of j. c. Jones, who lives in Rochest-
ter, and is said to be related to the
wanted man. 1t was this man that
was arrested by the Rochester
authorities, instead of Butler, ac-
cording to Geographic advices from
the New York authorities.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Jones, Of
Duval county, who went to Roches'-
er as a representative of the citizens
committee, impaired this informa-
tion after he arrived in Rochester
and paid a visit to the Jail where
the authorities had Jones locked up.
Knowing James Butler personally,
the deputy sheriff at glance saw
that the wrong man was being held,
and immediately ordered Jones' re-
lease, and communicated this to the
local committee.
1t is claimed that Butler was
traced to Rochester, y. Y, throueh
letters written to him by his wife,
who is now living at Daytona. He
was supposed to have been stopping
with his relative, and when this fact
became certain, the committee tele-
graphed the authorities at Rochester
to place Butler under arrest In
some mysterious manner. Butler was
overlooked and Jones was arrested.
1t is believed that Butler is now in
Canada, at least the members of the
citizens committee explain that he
has had sufficient time in which to
cross the Canadian border and they
believe that will be his objective
field for escape. Whether Deputy
Jones will take up the trail from
Rochester and go across the Canad-
ian border in search of Butler, the
local committeeman We're not pre-
pared to say.
Butler has been indicted by the
grand jury on two separate counts,
one charging him with the murder
Of Adam A. Boggs, and the other of
having caused the death of Miss
Marjorie, both of whom met death
at their cocoanut Grove home last
November.
This is the second report Of But
ler's capture which PANIED out dis
couraeing to the committeeman at
work on the case. However. they
are far from disheartened and pre-
dict that within two weeks they will
have him under lock and key in the
Dade county Jail.
Fred w. Cacon, who is chairman
of the local committee, was at IA
loss yesterday to explain the appar-
emit "slip-up." 1--WE had positive in
formation that Butler was in
Rochester, and wired this informa-
tion to the Rochester authorities
through our agents. he stated
However, information was received
that J. C. Jones himself had beer
arrested, l understand that Joneh is
cousin of Buffers. We have posi-
tive information that Butler was II
the the Jones home at Rochester
but how he eluded the authorities
is beyond my comprehension

Not a Dance, Just
a Hop, at PaxtOnia

The dances that once upon. time
were the big features of the nightly
revelries at PaXtonia Inn weren't
dances d; all; >hey were hops"
So Daniel Finifrock, one of the wit
nesses to support Harry Eckinger's ap-
plication for the license of the inn told
Judges Kunkel and McCarrell in Ii
cense court to-day. Nowadays they
don't dance the way the Dauphin
county court and Mr.. Finifrock used
to do it,
Other witnesses in supporting the
applicants for the license tried to show
that the aIsence of the licensed hotel
at PaXtonia increased the number of
10y rides" from town and that the
roadway early in the morning was lit
tered with beer and whisky bottles.
Others testified to the necessity of the
place because of it's central location
as it was a big gathering place tor
stock sales, etc.
witnesses for the remonstrants told
of how the presence OF the licensed
hotel had increased the drunkenness of
racing automobilists and that the
speeders endangered the marketers
and others who travelled the road.
Furthermore the community didn't
consider a licensed place a necessity
any longer. E. j. Dare said, because it
had existed for the last year without
il and the section felt the beneficial
results

Criticism of Friendship
Company Unwarranted,
Says Fire Chief Kinder

Criticism of the Fire Department
because the Friendship motor appa-
ratus did not respond to an alarm
last night owing to the absence of the
regular driver and the failure to pro-
vide a substitute, was said by Fire
Chief Kinder this morning to be un-
warranted.
According to his statement, the
driver of the ambulance at the
Friendship house is authorized to
drive the new truck when the regu-
lar chauffeur, George Irwin, is away
on Friday nights, his weekly time off
duty. The fire last night at Sc Balm
street was responded to by the Citi-
zen Company and the Friendship fire.
men were ready to respond if neces-
sary.
An alarm sent in this morning from
Box 73 by Theodore Levan, 49,
year-old boy, was the occasion for
praise by Fire Chief Kinder, who
found the boy waiting when the fire.
men arrived and directed them to the
fire in an open field at Twenty-first
and Derry streets, which was rapidly
sweeping over the dry grass toward
Il row of frame houses nearby.
