Scotland Yard and Yarmouth detectives are searching for a murderer of low mentality who may have committed crime" by accident,
The man who battered to death Mr. Horace Butcher, the 68-year- od marine sture dealer, in a room behind his shop in Middlegata Sircel one night did not leave a aingle clue.
Only the accidental discovery of ovidence which may open a new Jine of injury is likely to defeat him.
The police appeal to membera of the public to help them in their search met with immediate ro. Aponse,
Three motorlata have reported that they have picked up three men who said they had been in Yar. mouth.
A
One motorist was going to Bristol when he was stopped by 1 man who wanted lift. Another was going to Bed- fard when he was stopped and the third was going to Leeds.
There facts have been reported to the local police in these towna and Investigations are being made. NEPHEW'S STRANGE STORY
Mr. Frank Butcher, the nephew of the dead man, who was notified of the murder, was brought from the Haishore fightship by the Trinity House vessel Argus, and had an interview with the police.
"There nd been something strange about my uncle just Intely, Mr. Butcher sad,
"I formed the opinion that there. was someone he was afraid of. Who it was I cannot tell. Neither; can give you any reason for 1.
DEAD MAN'S SON
"On the night of Sept. 11-when I was last ashore-we were in the shop and were going out for a drink when he apparently someone passing down the street. He drew me back, and anid. 'Wait|
MAW
a minute.* Then he stood on the doorstep watching.
"said to him, 'Are you afraid] of something? But he made uo reply.
"He had missed things from the shop lately. He had hidden be hind the counter on more than and occasion hoping to catch someone, redhanded."
There, may be a son of the mur- dered man still living and unaware of his father's death.
"A subject he would not talk about," Mr. Frank Butcher told me, "was this aon, who I believe was born many years ago."
VICTIM'S "GOUD-NIGHT" This most puzzling crime has, been "reconstructed" as follows:
At. 18.45 one Monday night Mra Butcher, who was standing outside his shop, said "Good-night" to an acquaintanca. A moment later he stepped through the door, and a man just inside struck him down. The murderer then searched the premises.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Butcher regained consciousness and began to struggle along the floor. Again Juck saved the murderer, AL though Mr. Butcher was only a few feet from the front door he had not the strength to undo the wooden bar which lightly secured It.
Half dazed he crawled towards the back of the premises. This sealed his fate. He had reached the couch, when the attacker re- turned. Had Mr. Butcher remain- ed whore he was after the first blow his attacker would probably have left him for dend.
