Formal Complaint Road to Boy
'in the City Court, Stamford.
'Yaaierday—I’ollca and Do-
iecilve Saldio liavc Found
Enough Evidence to Prove
Built of Slapson
- Leroy Butler was formally charged
with the murder of his stepmother,
Mary Blackwell Butler, in the City
Court. Stamford yesterday. The war-
rant was served upon Butler by Chief
of Police Brennan, in the Court room.
it charges Butler with murder in the
first degree. He was committed with-
tnit ball until Tuesday, May 2. Save
for a slight nervousness, to be expect-
ed under the circumstances. Butler ex-
hibited little or no emotion as the
warrant was read to him by the Chief
of Police, Anyway, attention was di-
verted from him largely by a some-
what tart controversy between Pros-
ecuting-Attorney Galen A. Carter and
Attorney Cause. of Norwalk, .who
claimed to be counsel for Butler
‘Diaf 't Know He Had a Lawyer.
Mr. Carter had just asked Deputy
Judge Young to grant the continuance.
on the ground that it was only fair to
Butler in View of the serious nature
of the charge. Attorney Cuueo who
had been in court all morning. arose
at that moment and said he was But-
ler‘s lawyer. Mr. Carter called young
Butler up to the Judge‘s bench.
"Have you a lawyer?" he asked.
“No. sir." ,
“It that man your lawyer?" point-
ing to Attorney Cuneo. who stood
alongside Butler.
Butler looked confused. shook his
head, and muttered something that
sounded like "No. sir.”
Mr. Cuneo told me this morning,"
said Prosecuting-Attorney Carter.
“that he was counsel for George But-
ler. father of this young man. He
wanted to see George Butler. Now he
claims to be counsel for both of them.
You have heard what this young man
says. I want to add that I sent im-
mediately for George Butler, uftcr Ilir.
Cuneo‘s request. He told me that Mr.
Cuneo was not his lawyer, and said
he did not want any lawyer."
Attorney CunaO’a Expia ation.
"If. is most extraordinary on the
part of Brother Carter to say this in
open court.- in defiance of Whlll l have
said to him." said Attorney Cnneo
with a show of feeling. I have al-
ready told Brother Carter that I have
been retained by some of those inter-
ested to represent this young man in
Gedl‘ge Butler, I can only say, I don't.
know. I had another matter in hand
which arose from this trouble. l have
been acting as counsel for another
party implicated in this affair. Satur-
day morning, in my office. a friend of
Butler—I don't believe it is incumbent
on my part to divulge his name IO
Brother Carter~~~rctnincd me as this
boy's counsel. I come here as his
consel, and I intend to represent
him as counsel. What objection can
there be on the part of Brother Car»
tar as the Prosecuting Attorney to
have counsel represent this boy?
It. is most extraordinary. I will say
this, I am his counsel. and I propose
to represent him. when Brother Car-
ter asks me if my client's name is
Geodrge Butler, I can only any I don‘t
know whether his name is George, or
Fred, or Harry. I don't known what it
is."
Came to Get Retainer
' “I will tell you just what. Mr. (‘u-
neo's presence here means," replied
Mr. Carter. He came over here to
see George Butler. and have himself
retained by Butler to bring suit against
the city of Stamford. George Butler
has been detained a long time, and
perhaps my friend thinks he has a
‘case.’ I do not. say that Mr. Cuneo
does or that he does not. represent
Leroy Butler. I will say that I shall
ask the Court. to appoint counsel for
the boy before tile case goes much
further."
‘,‘I have had this same thing occur
before.‘ said Mr, Cunco.
“Yes; and you will have it a good.
many times more,“ rcpiied Mr. (‘ar-
tor.
Deputy Judge Young recognized Mr.
Clineo as Butler's counsel. and allow-
ed him to confer with the accused.
They had a brief conference in court.
Mr, Cuneo instructed Butler to be
silent and to talk to no one but him-
aelf about the case.
Strong Evidence Anal at Boy.
Butler la 19 years old. it is under-
stood that Pinkerton Detective Mas-
on and Chief Brennan have woven a
web of circumstantial evidence ‘flbout
the boy which points very strongly to
guiltmn biaport. He has been under
detention now over about three weeks.
It baa been pointed out already in The
Advocate that Butler lied about his
movements on the night of the crime.
' The boy’s stepmother was Imurder-
ed March 9. and the police loomed
of the shooting shortly after 12:80.
That la the hour fixed by the police
an the discharge of the bullet which
killed Ira. Butler. At that time
Butler was in the employ of
. .3. rick Bchavior. He worked
img capacity of a butler. He slept
in . Sebavlor'a home. When quee-

Schavior's revolvers will figure in the
case.
What Waa the Motive?
Just what motiw the‘ police be-
lieve led Butler to commit the alleged
crime has not yet been made public.
Friends of the boy say he and his
stepmother Were on the beat of terms.
Dr. Behavior" has stated publicly that
the boy was faithful and that it never
ocurred to him that he could in any
way be connected with the crime. It
is a fact, nevertheless, that young But-
ler stoiega gold watch that belonged
to his stepmother and, at a time when
she was scarcely cold in death. pawn-
ed the watch. For this offence he
was tried in the City Court and fined
Friends of the boy have said that Mrs.
Butler promised him the watch before
her death. Butler himself said he took
it out of a trunk in her home simply
for safe keeping. His idea of safe
keeping struck the police as peculiar.
According to his story Butler took this
watch from the trunk a day or two af-
for Mrs. Butler Was killed. Several
of the members of the police force
searched the trunk before the time
mentioned by Butler. and saw nothing
of the Watch. Pinkerton Detective
Mason also searched the trunk and
saw no watch. One man who helped
work up the Cross murder case here
some years ago believes that young
Hutlcr entered the house on the night
in question to get this watch, either
with a view of presenting it to a girl
or for the purpose of pawnig it. It is
his belief. that Mrs. Butler awoke and
discovered him in the room and that
he then fired the shot which killed her.
Mrs. Butler lay in bed alongside her
husband. George Hutler, at the time.
The only other person in the room
was William Cooke. a boarder whotn
both had befriended, George Butler
has said the pistol dash awake him.
that he heard the bedroom door slam
and heard some one run downstairs.
Cooke’s published statement was that
he slept through the whole perform-
ance and did not awake until George
Butler shook hlIIl. There were sever-
al people in the little house on the
night in question. Some of them have
stated they heard the shot. and the
foot beats, of some one hurrying down
stairs. Others heard neither.
Attorney Canon is the man Thomas
King visited in Norwalk when m‘
talked about bringing stilt against the
city of Stamford for detention in con-
nection with the nutter case. He is
probably the "party" Cuneo referred
to.
MILLIKEN l8 PLUCKY.
Showed it When Hia Leg Waa Brok
ed by 3 Baseball.
Master Thomas K Millikcn. .ia..
nine years old, of Henry Street. is a
plucky little chap. That was demon
strated Thursday afternoon.
Master Millikan. iruman Smith.
Rodney Rowell. Master (‘rawford and
one ortwo other boys, all about the
same age. were playing baseball in
a field near Master Smith's home. at
South and Henry Streets. One of the
boys threw a bail to Milliken. He did
not see it coming. and it struck him
in one of the legs between the knee
and body. The boy fell and lay help-
less, the main shaft of his leg luck
on. His llttic playmates, ignorant of
the serious nature of the injury. and
desirous of imitating college baseball
players, they have seen. sprayed him
with water, and assisted him to rise.
..lth an arm about the neck of two
of them the little chap hobbled about
the field emailing. Not a whlmpcr
of pain did he allow to get by his
lips. Dr. Id. E. Itowell, making a call
in the vicinity, happened to pass at
the moment. He saw the boys and
Millilten look-ed at him and smiled.
When Dr. Howell got up town. he re
ceived a hurry call from Milliken's
residence. He found the boy suffer-
ing from u vetry bad fracture of the
leg. The main shaft was broken off.
Assisted by llr. A. M. Hurlbutt. I'lr.
nowcli quickly reduced the fracture.
the boy will be unabln to use the leg
for many weeks. Millikan is a sturdy
little chap. unusually muscular and
well developed for a boy of his age
The physicians say it is peculiar that
a boy about his own age could throw
a ball with sufficient force to break
the main shaft in the leg of so healthy
a youngster. ’l‘hcy account for the
break on the theory that. the muscles
of the leg Were very tense just at the
moment the ball struck the boy.
