job at levelling reclaimed ground in the neighbourhood of
Dunedin. On Wednesday, March 10, Butler started work, but after
three hours of it relinquished the effort. Bain saw Butler again
in Dunedin on the evening of Saturday, March 13, and made an
appointment to meet him at half-past eight that night. Butler
did not keep the appointment. Bain searched the town for him,
but he was nowhere to be found.
About the same time Butler had some talk with another member of
the Dunedin police force, Inspector Mallard. They discussed the
crimes of Charles Peace and other notable artists of that kind.
