On page 115, Chief first tells us that Billy Bibbit has cigarette burns on the backs of his hands.
"He's got a magazine rolled up and is twisting at it with his hands; you can see the cigarette burns on the backs of his hands."
This adds to Billy's character and makes us wonder just how those burns got there, and who gave them to him. Did they contribute to his current condition? What is the significance of them being there and Chief noticing them?

Hmm.. I'm not sure I understand the question...
I think that they got there from others that just didnt like him before he came to the ward, possibly just because of his stutter. Although Chief can actually hear, him supposedly being deaf means he cant hear Billy stutter and might wonder why someone would hurt him.
