Butte Police Officer Sam Protine and Lottie Knapp Engagement Tale
In 1922 Butte, 98-year-old Sam Protine, a longtime police officer, escorted his 65-year-old fiancée Lottie Knapp as the Harold Anderson grand larceny trial unfolded. The case, heard before Justice Louis A Buckley, ended in Anderson’s conviction and bond set at 2500 dollars. The report recounts Sam and Lottie’s flirtatious courtroom interactions and a humorous posttrial moment on the stairs, where Sam danced to a whistled tune despite aging joints.
