Captain James Butler considered it only routine that the Army should have given him a hundred thousand dollars worth of gold bars to transport. Then the lieutenant sent to assist him was killed, apparently by Butler; and the latter disappeared as did his cargo. To cap the dramatic sequence of murder, robbery, desertion and treason, Butler's superior officer, with whom he had been having a running feud, also vanished from Washington and from official circles.
