Gunman Surrenders After Allnight Hunt
An escaped convict after an all night search emerged from a foggy wooded area near Pittsburgh and surrendered to police. John Butler, 50, still in handcuffs, told officers he was sorry and that the sheriff was a friend. Sheriff James R. Lauer, 52, of Northumberland County, Pa., was killed during the scuffle over a .38 revolver in the back of a police car. Butler had fled on foot after the shooting and was captured about 200 yards from the scene. He had been in custody for a 1957 $720 church rectory holdup at Mount Carmel, Pa.
