HAS TERROR OF GALLONS
Butler County Murderer Fears the
Hansman's Moose and Pathetic
Scene Was Enacted When Told
Death Warrant Had Boon Issued by
Tho Governor-Iowa News.

Des Moines, Sept. 20.--"It was my
DUTY to inform Busse of the decision
Of the governor refusing him clemency
and fixing the date for his execution"
said Warden Hunter of the Anamosa
prison, yesterday. He took 1t hard.
He broke down and wept like "a child
and gave every evidence of the most
pathetic terror. 1t was pitiful. l am
not familiar with his case. so far us
the details are concerned, and had on
ly the duty to perform Of telling him
Of the decision OF the authorities.
II hope, however, that he will never
be hung in Anamosa prison. We never
did have a hanging there, and l hope
never to see one l want the law
changed so that hangings shall occur
in the county from which the convict
Is sent. That is the way 1t was done,
formerly, and 1t Is the only system. J.
would be inclined to lobby for a bill
to effect that end.
1.-The nearest that we ever came to
having a hanging at Anamosa was
when Michael Kennedy of Dubuque,
was under death sentence. 1t was dur
ing the administration of Governor
Larrabee. The death warrant had
been issued and Governor Lar
rabee notified Kennedy that
he would commute the sentence to life
imprisonment But the day before the
morning ON which he was to hang he
received visit from Gov. Larrabee,.

not reverse his ruling sending him to
the gallows, but wanted Kennedy to tel
him the truth about the wife murder,
OF which he was convicted Kennedy
always had maintained his innocence.
and with death due the following NOR
ming he told the governor that he was
innocent, and that If he died his blood
would be on the hands of the executive.
Now, the governor had the papers COM
muting the mans sentence already
made out and in his pocket, and Ken
nedy was shrewd enough to observe
that he would not have received the
visit had 1t not been for some such
purpose. His sentence was committed.
and in 1900 the legislature pardoned
him. He now lives quietly in Chicago
and like the other dozen life convlcts
who were pardoned by the legislature
he is living creditably."
Districts Are Changed.
The state board of control yesterday
subtracted from the Fort Madison pris-
on district six counties, which were
added to the Anamosa district
This was done after conference with
the wardens of the penitentiaries. 1t
was undertaken because the population
at Fort Madison remains stationary,
while that at Anamosa Is rapidly de-
clining. To make the number more
even, and to help fill up the improved
quarters at Anamosa, the convicts sent
from six counties in eastern Iowa
will hereafter go to Anamosa instead
Of to Fort Madison. The counties at
tached to the Anamosa district are Ce-
dar. Clinton. Iowa, Jackson, Johnson
and Scott.
