BUTSEH SEEKS T0 DELAY TRIAL

FOR NEW LAW|

Measure in Effect in June Will Allow Jury to Make Penalty Choice.

4 Attorneys for William Ray Butsch, who is scheduled to be tried here May 9 for the robbery slaying of Mrs. Carrie Lelah Romig, indicated today they may seek to delay the trial until after June 1. The reason, they said, would be to take advantage of a new statute affecting the penalty in such cases. The statute enacted by the last session of the Legislature, places

with the discretion of the jury the.

penalty of either life imprisonment or execution upon conviction on . charge of murder in the perpetration of a robbery. : Mr. Ryan said ‘he would seek the delay by asking for change of venue from the County unless the court agrees to permit his client to take advantage of the new law. Under . present statute the death penalty is mandatory. The move for a delay sprang from expressions of doubt as to whether Butsch may take advantage of the new provisions before the act is promulgated by June 1. Meanwhile, Prosecutor David M. Lewis, in an answer filed yesterday to the defendant's special notice of alibi, said he will try to establish that on the morning of Jan. 17, . Butsch was in Mrs. Romig’s apartment at 120 W. 12th St. On that date she was found slain apparently by a blow of a clawhammer. In his notice of alibi Butsch and his attorneys declared they will attempt to establish that he was in Anderson at the time of the murder.

VIADUCT OVER ALLEY * ASKED BY BLOCK CO.

The Works Board today took under advisement ga petition of the William: H. Block Co. to build a viaduct: from the company’s main

building on Illinois St. to its annex]

on Capitol Ave. The proposed viaduct would span an alley between the two buildings connecting their second floors.
