Dr. Butler Offers Lab
To LSU Medical School
The Caddo Parish Police
Jury disclosed today that Dr.
Willis P. Butler, retired Caddo
Parish coroner, has offered to
donate his privately operated
forensic laboratory in the
parish c o u r t h o u s e to the
Shreveport branch of Louisiana
State U n i v e r s i t y Medical
School.
A committee has been ap-pointed
to discuss the transfer
of the laboratory from the
sixth floor of the courthouse to
the medical school when room
is provided.
WARD 3 Police Juror Fran-cis
P. Bickham said today that
the committee which he heads
plans on calling a meeting soon
to discuss with Dr. Butler and
Dr. Edgar Hull, dean of the
Shreveport branch, the trans-fer
of the laboratory.
As chairman of the special
committee, Bickham selected
police jurors Lloyd Alexander
and David R. Carroll as
members.
Dr. Butler told a group of
police jurors several weeks ago
of his plans to donate the
laboratory because of his age.
He was in the service of the
parish for 55 years.
THE LABORATORY equip-ment
and chemicals used in
the laboratory have been pur-chased
by both Dr. Butler and
the police jury over the years.
The e q u i p m e n t 3nd Dr.
Butler's skilll have been used
since his retirement in investi-gation
of cases in which
medical evidence is required in
legal matters. The services Dr.
B u t l e r has given in
investigation have been de-clared
"almost indispensable"
by the district attorney and the
sheriff's department.
Bickham said Dr. Hull has
expressed an interest in having
the laboratory transferred.
DR. BUTLER has asked that
an inventory of the equipment
and chemicals, valued at "sev-eral
thousand dollars" be
made if the transfer should be
c o m p l e t e d . The inventory
would include property owned
by Dr. Butler and that ac-quired
by the police jury.
The laboratory serves the
city of Shreveport, Caddo
Parish, Barksdale Air Force
Base, the courts in the Shreve-port
area and out of state
clients.
The police jury includes
about $8,000 a year in the
budget for its services and the
city of Shreveport about $2,400
a year. The fees charged other
agencies were not available.
