Topeka ? The Kansas Parole Board has revoked the parole of a man convicted in the 1973 stabbing death of a Topeka woman.

James Elder was arrested in October on numerous parole violations: allegedly failing to report to his parole officer, failing to report a change of address, traveling outside a 50-mile radius of his home and failing to comply with parole conditions regarding electronic monitoring.

The parole board ruled this week that Elder did violate his parole and won’t consider his release against until at least November 2012.

Elder, 52, was convicted of second-degree murder in the July 1973 slaying in Topeka of 23-year-old Barbara Butler. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.

Evidence showed Butler was stabbed 23 times, with one blow piercing her breastbone and injuring her heart. She later died at a Topeka hospital.

Records show that Elder had been denied parole 19 times. Butler’s father, Robert Butler Jr., and brother, Robert Butler III, appeared at several parole board hearings to ask that Elder stay in prison.
