la. Busse called there one day and, al
tho the girl had never seen him before,
he asked her to marry him. She re-
piled that she would not make up her
mind upon such an important question
in such hurried manner, but take the
matter under consideration. A few days
later her brother asked Busse If mer-
germany motives prompted him to make
the offer Of marriage. Busse responded
that he was well supplied with worldly
goods and that the step was not taken
with view of procuring money. Miss
Cassmann was the possessor of 50, 800.
After the conversation regarding Bus
SEES motives the latter took Cassmann
and his sister to view his farm. The
fine improvements and general air of
thrift allayed their misgivings and
Busse and Miss Cassmann were soon
afterward married.
Busse busted himself after the mar
riago in collecting various amounts of
his wife's money which had been loan
ed In the nefghborhood He also pro-
cured $1,000 which was deposited in the
bank. He quarreled with his wife on
several occasions regarding the money.
On the forenoon of June Is, 1901, a
wholesale liquor agent called on Busse
and the latter sampled his different
brands of wet goods quite freely. After
dinner Busse sent his hired man, Henry

ARTHUR CHAMBERS SUICIDES.
Des Moines Mail Carrier and Was Des-
pondent Over Ill Health.

Des Moines. March 31.-Arthur
Chamber. mail carrier, committed
suicide Saturday few minutes after
noon at his home. 1906 East Walnut
street, by shooting himself. The weap-
on used was a 80 caliber revolver, and
the place chosen for the deed coal
shed at the rear Of his residence.
Mrs. Chambers heard the shot, but,
not suspecting 1t had anything to do
with her husband, who had only mo-
ment before left the dinner table and
gone to the coal shed, paid no attention
to it, supposing it to be some one
shooting in the alley. Five minutes af-
terward she had occasion to carry a
bucket of potatoes to the shed. Upon
opening the door she was Mortified to
see the body of her husband lying limp
and lifeless on the coal. Grasped In his
hand was pistol, and from a wound
back of the right ear there triclSled q
tiny stream of blood, showing where
the bullet had entered.
1t was stated by one of the men at
the Office that Mr.. Chambers was flnan-
cialy embarrassed. This, in connection
with i'll health, is surmised to have
been the combined cause for the act.
He was not known to be addicted to the
use OF intoxicating liquors. but on the
contrary he was temperate in respect
to the use of liquor. He left a wife
and little girl. the latter aged four
years.

Waverly, March 31.-The trial OF
Louis Busse for the murder of his wife
will come up at the present term of
court which convenes today. Altho
nearly year has passed since the
crime was committed the trial promises
to attract great deal of attention.
During his long confinement in the
county Jail Busse has come to partial
realization of his crime and recently
when asked If he was sorry he had
killed his wife, Busse said: II would
give anything in the world to bring her
back to life" Busse seems to stand
the strain of his incarceration we'll and
his physical condition is apparently as
good as when he was first imprisoned.
The details of the killing of Mrs. Busse
and the subsequent developments are
so familiar to Times-Republican read
ers as to render their recital at this
time unnecessary. A brief review of
the case, in view of the approaching
trial. will be of interest.
Some eighteen months prior to June
IS, 1901, Busse was a widower, his first
wife having died following the birth Of
their second child. At that time a girl
named Cassmann was residing on a

ing another bankruptcy proceeding to

the Smith case from morning to ]
o'clock in the afternoon. AT that time
there were many attorneys for the
creditors present. The receiver made a
report and showed that for the sales OF
the assets small amounts had been re-
ceived and it is now believed that from
the property little will be realized. The
lawyers made clamor to have the case
continued thirty days in order to bring
Smith into court and force him to an

sentatives of the creditors may see fit
to put to him. 1t is believed that the
proprietor of the former creamery is in
Dakota and legal proceeding will be
commenced to bring him back to Cedar
Rapids. 1t is claimed that he should

pose to take steps to have him here

Many of the creditors are farmers
who hold bills for $40 and $40 and the
list of those among whom the assets

his directions.
Busse made confession, 1t is claim

nowledged the crime. claiming that his
wife struck him first. having struck
him over the head with poker, where
upon he struck her with such force that
she fell violently against the stove and
fractured her skull. When he saw that
she could not live he cut her throat in
order that she might not live long
enough to testify that he was her as

with kerosene and set fire to the house.

count of the great hostility against
their client in his home county. 1t is
impossible to learn what defenses they
will make. Their aim will probably be
to avert the death sentence and secure
