its maintenance. Out of 112 men,
sixty-nine voted against it and out Of

sussEY CASE UP AGAIN.

Claim Made That the Indictment
Brought Against Him Was illegal.
Des Moines April 1S.-The attorneys
of Louis Bussey, the Butler county
wife murderer, will take his case be-
fore the supreme court of Iowa on
dune 6 on the claim that the indict-
ment under which Bussey was brought
to trial was defective.
The Bussey case has been fully re-
viewed in the columns from time to
time and nearly all our readers are fa-
miliar with The case. He was convict
ed of murder in the first degree after
a lengthy trial, and sentenced to be
hanged. The finding of the lower court
and the sentence was affirmed by the
supreme court on division once, and
it is announced by his counsel that if
the court confirms the sentence sec
ond time they will take it to the United
States supreme court.
Bussey's case is the first docketed
for the supreme court period of next
summer.
Another Iowa murderer now under
death sentence and confined in the
penitentiary will also have hearing
before the supreme court at the next
session. Joseph G. Smith, the negro
who murdered colored woman in
Monroe county, is the other applicant.
Smith did not care to appeal the case,
desiring rather to let the sentence Of
the court be carried out. His attor-
neys hope to secure a life sentence in
stead Of the death penalty, however.
The case will come up for hearing
during the spring session, being set for
May 2.
