Success of Murderer's Attor-
neys Depends Upon Gain
ing Exceptional Point
slsT OF THEIR ARGUMENT
If It Is Accepted That Busse Committed
Crime While Drunk and Angered by
Victims Act, It is Contended That He
Is Not Guilty Of Murder In the First
Degree.

Des Moines, July 9.-The attorneys
for Louis Busse, the Butler county
farmer, who is under sentence of death
for the murder of his wife early In
strenuous fight to save his neck from
the rope. His attorneys are Messrs.
w. S. Montgomery of Parkersburg, and
Dawson & Gibson of Waverly. They
have just filed in the Office of the clerk
of the supreme court an argument ana
brief in their appeal for new trial of
the case.
The argument is somewhat lengthy
and goes over the trial of the case In
the district court thoroughly, and con-
siders the evidence and the rulings OF
the lower court to considerable extent.
1t will doubtless be taken up and ar
gued before the supreme court at the
October session. 1t seems evident that
the efforts Of the attorneys Will be
directed towards securing a new trial
"
murder of Mrs. Busse was committed
in the heat of passion and that under
the statutes such crime can not be
considered murder in the first degree
and punishable with death. If they win
they will save Buses life. In PROOF
Of this claim, the argument filed says:
IF the deceased struck the defendant
on the head with chair or attempted
to strike him when he entered the room
and the defendant, excited as he must
have been to Il greater or less degree by
the liquor he had drank shortly before
and angered by the blow or threatened
blow, went wild and struck the de-
ceased on the head with chair, then
and there killing her as he says he
did, we insist that he is not guilty of
murder in the first degree Certain II
is that the deceased received blow
on the head, crushing her skull to such
an extent as would cause death
Further in the argument it is claimed
that the cash in the throat of Mrs.
Busse which was discovered by the cor.
onsr when .i.N 1Jt,y vas e%aN.aed and
the evidence that an attempt had been
made to burn the body, taken by them
selves or in connection with the other
evidence, facts and circumstances, do
not establish that the deceased received
the blow on her head differently from
what the defendant says she did. 1t Is
stated also that "all the medical wit
nesses agree that with the exception OF
the burning no other injuries than
those resulting from the blow upon
the head of the deceased were found
upon the body which were sufficient to
produce DEATH"
In closing it is declared that If the
blow upon the head Of Mrs. Busse was
inflicted as her husband declares, the
death resulting therefrom was not muir
der in the first degree.
The point taken by the attorneys is
an exceptional one, and the outcome
of the case will be watched with a
great deal of interest.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 9.-While his wife
writhed in the agony resulting from a
self-administered dose of rat poison,
Frank Criss calmly cursed her for dis
turbing his rest and went to bed, leav-
ing the unfortunate woman moaning
and suffering on the floor. Today the
woman is not expected to live, and in
the event of her death charge of man
slaughter will be brought against him
by County Attorney Whitney. The
family are Poles. and Criss has been
connected with the Armour packing
plant. They have five children, the old
est being twelve. Mrs. Criss took the
poison before her husbands eyes, say
ing she was tired of his abuse.
"All right, take 1t and de YOU"
was the reply, and he left her and went
to bed. The dose was too large to cause
immediate death, and she fell on the
hard floor, suffering fearfully turnout
the night. She asked him to come to
her and raise her head SO that she
might breathe, but he cursed her for
disturbing him and went to sleep again.
In the morning she was still on the
floor and he got up and told her to
get breakfast cursing her because she
could not. The neighbors found her
and called assistance. The doctors
think the woman can not live.

county attorneys convention Will be the
report regarding a new law regulating
the parole system for criminals i'll the
penitentiaries This matter is in the
hands of a special committee consist
ing of w. H. Killpack, of Council Bluffs.
president of the association, and Z. G.
Whitney, of Sioux City.
I'VE have found rather perplexing
situation to deal with Mfr. Whitney
said. THE original idea was to relieve
the governor of the duty of pardoning
and paroling prisoners. creating
board or commission to have charge of
this matter, and to exercise discretion
AIRY power, the same as the governor
does now. However, when we look at
the constitution of the state we find
that it very explicitly gives exclusive
power to the governor to grant par
dons and paroles and to remit fines.
So we are left with the alternative of
amending the constitution. tedious
and doubtful proceeding. Just what we
will recommend we have not as yet de-
termined.
Il have made inquiries of states sur
rounding Iowa, and find that some OF
them have boards or commissions to
look after this duty. Indiana has the
indeterminate sentence law, under
which prisoners are given range OF
years to serve, and are paroled accord
ing to their conduct and the nature of
their crime, the matter being discre-
tionary with the board"
Some of the subjects found on the
program for discussion are unusually
interesting and highly important to the
bar generally. Perhaps one of the best
papers will be upon Tax Ferrets,' by

Of cash 100 miners Of the Craig Coal
Company at the company's mines at
Coalvile and Kalo have been on a
strike the past week.
On last pay day. June q, the miners
notified the company that they refused
to receive their pay in checks, but must
have the cash. The company does not
like to do this owing to the inconvenl-
ence of conveying such large sums Of
money to the mines.
President Perry OF the Iowa State
Mine Workers. was Immediately called
from Oskaloosa. Mr.. Perry ordered the
men to return to work pending the de-
cision of the attorney general Of the
state in the matter. The miners did
not do this and have thereby placed
themselves in danger of being heavily
fined.
The state law Is that miners may be
paid in either checks or cash. provid-
ing the checks are not discounted in
cashing. Andrew Craig was IN Des
Moines yesterday, comforting With the

the trouble will all be settled within a
