WANT BUsSE HANGED
Butler County People Sign a Petition
Asking That the Sentence Of the
Court be Carried Out.

Greene, Aug. 19.-During the past
year numerous petitions have been cir
culated asking for clemency for Louis
Busse, the Butler county wife murder
ers by parties who believe that the
death penalty is too severe for the
crime committed.
On the other hand there is a large
element who believe that sufficient
punishmnt cannot be inflicted upon
the brutal murderer. This element
has taken hand in the game, and a
petition is now being circulated, and
freely signed, asking that the sentence
Of the court be carried out, and that
Busse be hanged on the date set for
the execution.
The petition Is being literally sign
ed by the farmer neighbors Of Busse
who have little sympathy for him, and
the outcome of the efforts of both fac
tions is being watched with interest.
Prominent attorneys are at the head
of the movement to commute the sem
tence to life Imprisonment and a
strong fight is being made to save the
condemned man from the gallows.
