BUSSE TO HANG
Tho Supreme Court penie. tho Appli-
cation for Rehearins in Busse Case
and That Of Joseph c. smith-Hoth
Sentenced to Hang.

Des Moines. July 15.---Louis Busse
must hang. The supreme court yes
terday denied the application for re-
hearing In the Louis Busse cnse. Busse
Is under sentence of death for wife
murder. Unless his attorneys are able
to secure clemency from the governor
for him he Is doomed. barring, OF
course. new appeals to the courts.
1t is not impossible that his attor-
neys will carry the case to the supreme
court of the United States. Ordinarily
OF course, this would not be possible
but In this case there is question OF
the validity Of the indictment
which was not raised in the state
courts and which may be opened up In
the federal courts by reason of the fact
that the supreme tribunal may take
cognizance of casea OF that character
Busse Is the second murdered whose
cases are pending before the executive.
Joseph c. Smith, Of Monroe county, is
the o.her. Owing to appeals having
been taken, the dates fixed for the
death OF the two men by the district
judges have passed, and 1t becomes
necessary for the governor to fix the
date. There Is no such thing as an
executive death warrant in Iowa. Had
not the appeals been taken the men
would have been hung without their
cases having been called to the atten-
ton OF the governor at all, unless they
asked for clemency.
Buses crime was especially brutal.
He killed his wife with club and
other weapons. She was In a delicate
condition at the time. tho this fact was
not shown In the trial Of the case. lie
did not deny killing her. but his attor-
neys claimed that he was intoxicated
at the time. and that the lower court
erred in instructing the jury. The SUI
preme court affirmed his death sem
tence by dividing three and three. This
was thought by his friends to make 1t
likely that the petition for a rehearing
would be granted. But 1t was unani-
mously denied.
The supreme court yesterday grant
ed rehearngs in two cases and denied
rehearings In ten. One Of those in
which 1t was denied was the case OF
Pierson VS.. the Northwestern railroad
from Cedar Rapids, the plaintiff hav-
ing gotten verdict of $500. The
damage case Of Mrs. futile against
Clear Lake will be heard again, and
also that of Merritt Allen Co. against
Terrence. The cases in which peti-
tons for rehearing were denied We're:
