THE RETURN OF BUTLER.
THE sketches which appear in this issue were taken by the Graphic artists, the only New Zealand artists who succeeded in taking drawings of the alleged murderer and his surroundings. The picture of Butler in his cell is from a photo, the first obtained of the prisoner after leaving San Francisco. It was got after a great deal of trouble, Butler being very much averse to being photographed. Another photograph erroneously claiming to be the only one taken in New Zealand was obtained after the prisoner’s consent had been got by the Graphic interviewer.
