MOSCOW, April 3. (By the Asso ciated Press) Monslgnor Constan tino Butchkavltch, vlear general of the Roman Catholic church In Rus sia, condemned to death for wilfully opposing the soviet government has been executed by a firing squad. The fate of the prelate, in doubt Blnce lost Thursday, when his appeal for clemency was denied, became known today when It was announced that the death sentence had been car ried out last Saturday. Up to late last night there were rumors that an exchange might be arranged. Responsible officials, how ever, asserted that soviet Justice must take its course regardless of protests and attacks abroad. Details of the prelate's execution Kprobnbly never will . be revealed.

The committee at the same time t commuted to ten years imprisonment the death sentence imposed on the archbishop. News that Monaignor Butchkaviteh would have to pay the extreme pen alty created a stir in many lands.

They were chargod spe- jeiflcn!ly as follows: . First, with opposing the decree separating the church and state: second, with opposing sequestration of church treasures, and third, with engaging in a campaign of agitation among the Catholic clergy and pnr ishioners in the hope that the churches might be closed, thus in conveniencing the soviet government before tho Vatican and impairing the terms of the Ilign. treaty with Po land.
