Six Grand Jurors Proper-eovernor
Has Right to Fix Date Of Execution

Special to Times-Repunlican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The supreme
court today affirmed the action Of the
Linn county district court in dismiss
ing the petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus for Louis Busse.
The action of the court means that
Busse will be hanged December a.,
At the trial in Bremen county Busse
objected to one grand juror and the in
dictment was returned by six, the va
caifcy not being filled as required by
law. Busse's attorneys held the right
to have the full seven jurors could not
be waived. The supreme court holds
that it can and that in any event
writ of habeas corpus could not be
used to give the prisoner his liberty
for mere irregularity of trial. Eur
ther it is held that one grand juror
can be waived the same as one trial
juror can be waived, tho the law re-
quires twelve. Il
Busse's attorney claimed that after
the first date Of execution fixed by tho,
lower court had passed, the governor
had no right to fix a new date, be-
cause there was no entry Of judg-
ment by the supreme court. The court
holds that in criminal cases 1t has no
authority to enter judgment, only af-
firming the judgment of the lower
court, and that the governor has
right to act on the opinion Of the SUI
preme court. On the original trial the
supreme court divided equally on the
question Of whether the instruction OF
the lower court on manslaughter was
proper An equal division affirmed the
lower court. Buses attorney claimed
this gave ground for reasonable
doubt. The supreme court holds that
a reasonable doubt applies to juries
trying facts and not to courts deciding
Ia " questions
