Christmas Day
Slayer Killed
Butte, Montana
(By The Associated Press)
Butte, Montana, Dec. 28,
— William Henry Knight,
wanted for the slaying of
three persons on Christmas
Day, was probably fatally
wounded Friday night in
Butte.
Police officers located
Knight in a house in Butte
where he had kept several
persons prisoners all day.
Officers threw tear gas
bombs into the building,
and as the fugitive tried to
escape through a window,
he opened fire. A bullet
fired by assistant police
chief Jack Buggann struck
Knight on the head just
back of the ear. He was
rushed to the hospital in a
critical condition.
Knight was also suspect
ed of having shot a King
County deputy sheriff near
Seattle last month.
Later reports in the ear
ly morning said that Knight
succumbed to a bullet
wound, several hours after
being shot.
