The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Book of Remarkable Criminals by H. B. Irving: morning of the 13th. Of this crime Butler acknowledged himself
to be the perpetrator. Besides the opera glasses the constables
took from Butler two tins of salmon, a purse containing four
shillings and sixpence, a pocket knife, a box of matches, a
piece of candle, and a revolver and cartridges. The prisoner was
carrying a top coat, and was dressed in a dark coat and grey
trousers, underneath which he was wearing a white shirt, an under
flannel and a Rob Roy Crimean shirt. One of the constables
noticed that there were marks of blood on his shirt. Another
singular feature in Butler's attire was the fact that the outer
soles of his boots had been recently removed. When last seen in
