ed Murderous ProcIivities.

Waverly, March 31.-(Special.)-
Louis Busse was placed on trial in the
district court here today for the mur-
der of his wife, June Is, 1901.
The Crime.
The crime is one of the worst and
most cold blooded ever committed
within the borders of the state. Busse
lived with his wife six miles northwest
OF Allison. One the day in question
he quarreled with her and in the scuffle
is said to have struck her on the head
with hammer crushing her skull 1t
is charged that he dragged her into
the house and there cut her throat
from ear to ear with his pocket knife.
The indictment recites that he placed
the body on feather bed saturated
with kerosene and set fire to it. The
limbs were burned from the body and
it was badly disfigured. The theory
at the time of the discovery was that
the woman committed suicide. The
suspicious were aroused by the ac-
tions of the husband at the time of the
funeral he showing no signs whatever
of grief. The body was exhumed and
then the discovery was made that the
skull had been crushed
Made Confession.
Busse was taken from the Jail at AL
llson and brought here as it was fear
ed lynching would take place the
feeling being very strong against him.
While in jail at Allison he made con-
fession. At the autopsy it was found
that Mrs. Busse was soon to become a
mother.
Will Be Hard Fought.
The state has summoned thirty-six
witnesses and the defense eighteen.
Four attorneys will be identified with
the prosecution and three with the de-
tense. 1t will be one of the hardest
fought battles ever waged in the state
criminal courts.

were wrecked, but in only one OF them,
the Knoxville Presbyterian church, did
