CROWD At TRIAL
Of FATHER LEO'S
SLAYER IN DENVER
Extra Precautions Taken to Pre-.
vent Violence by lndig-
llant People.
DEPUTIES LINE ROUTE
FROM JAIL TO COURT
Will Be Over the Thee
DRY of acknowledgements
Are Ready.

DENVER, March 9.-Anticipating
the presence of a large crowd at the
opening of the trial today of Giuseppe
Ala, who in cold blood murdered
Father Leo Heinrichs of st. Elizabeth's
Church while he was giving the sacra-
ments on Sunday, February %, Sheriff
Alexander Nisbet had stationed depu-
ties along the walks and in the en-
trance ways leading from the jail to
the courtroom. and also in the court.
room itself. This precaution was taken
to Illustrate any attempt at mob
violence, although the authorities do
not look for n real outbreak of this
kind.
Alias case was the first on the GRIM
inal docket, and Judge Greeley NJ.
Whiteford, who is taking his turn on
the criminal bench, had ordered present
an open panel of 100 veniremen.
1t was. expected that the defense Of
Attorney Robert H. Widdecomb, repre-
senting Ala by appointment of the
court, would advance the theory of in
sanity in the hope of saving the life Of
his client, and to be prepared for com-
batting this defense. the prosecution
had summoned eight of the most skill
full brain specialists in the city to be
present for the purpose of observing
the defendant and thus be in readiness
to give expert opinion as to his sanity.
The defense had arranged also for three
%alienists to serve their side.
Attorney Widdecomb Indicated early
in the examination of venirenen that
he would make the question of a pros
pective juryman's allegiance to the
Roman Catholic faith the cause for
challenging him as to his qualification
to serve.
When ALA was taken from the Jail
to the Court House he was under
guard of Sheriff Hisbet and four depu-
ties, each armed with a brace of re-
volvers. His men had explicit instruc-
tons to keep the Jail ground clear
and to arrest any n who showed any
evidence of intention to attack the
prisoner OF. any one that might be try
ing to stir up the crowd to making a
demonstration. Spectators in the court
room were ordered closely scrutinised,
and all suspicious characters were ex-
cluded from the building. The trial
was called promptly at 10 o'clock.

MAN
FALLS INTO TRAP

Wanted in Several
States Caught Working
Game Here.
"ADS" FOR A
BOGUS PUBLICATION
Hidden Sleuths Hear Stranger
Make Contract and Capture
Him with Marked Bills.

The Newark police think they have
a nnuch-wanted man in the person of
Charles Wallace. alias E. c. Lee. who
was arrested on the complaint of L.. B.
Hilborn. an optician in West Park
street, whom he tried to fim-Aam.
The mar was taken into custody at
Bergerow's flower store, Broad street,
by Detective Sergeants Fohs and Dono-
van as he was being handed two
marked bills. Wallace was playing the
same game that he has been victimiz-
ing Newark business men on for the
last three weeks, receiving pay for adj
vertisements in the annual thine Book
of the Railroad Engineers and Train
mems Association"
Captain. Carroll, of the detective bu-
eau. is elated over the capture, as he
thinks he can fasten several more film
fam games on the man, and secure evil
dence against him from other cities.
Worked Game Many Weeks.
ance and of tongue, has been
working his ~swindling game in a clever
manner. For some weeks he has been
going among the local merchants So
liciting advertisements for the train
mems book, carrying a paper dummy
showing that he had received a num-
Der.
Several days ago he started to make
collections, having printed copies of
the pamphlet, gotten up in accord with
the dummy he had used as bait, and he
was successful until he reached Mr..
Hilborn's place of business.
The latter became suspicious and
asked the mar to calf later for his
money. In the meantime he communi-
Gated with police headquarters. and
Captain Carroll sent out Fohs and
Donovan. The officers and the jewelcr
got into communication with the OFF,
Gals of the Lackawanna Railroad and
learned that the a was an imposter.
Falls Into Trap.
After obtaining the names of the adj
vertisers from Hilborn, the sleuths
started for their man. They arranged a
trap in Mr.. Bergerow's store and when
the mar called he was handed a marked
two and one-dollar bill, and then the
sleuths, who were hidden. took him in
custody.
At headquarters it was learned that
he had obtained advertisements from
many leading merchants, and had he
made all of his collections he would
have been in Glover for some time.
1t was learned that a Market street
printing concern contracted with him to
print 500 Of the booklets and that after
paying 50 on account he insisted on
having a dozen struck copies, and on
these he tried to make collections.
From documents found on the man it
was learned that he had operated in
Jersey City, Hoboken, New York,
Brooklyn and Jamaica, N. Y, and the
police believe that further investigation
will reveal that the man has covered
even a wider territory.

JAPAN AND CHINA
FEEL THE STRAIN
IN TATSU AFFAIR
Toxic Government Starts a
Cruiser Toward Chinese Wa
ters-Other Naval Activity.

TOXIC, March 9.-Japan undoubted-
ly Is preparing for e~ventuallties in the
case of the seizure of the steamer
Tatsu. Decision rests with Premier
Saionki and Foreign Minister Hayashi.
There has been no indication of the
period Of time that Japan will await
China's reply. At the japanese For
eign Office it. is presumed that Yuan
Shi Kai will require three or perhaps
four. days of consultation with the
viceroy of Canton in consideration of
the affair.
What action Japan Will AXE in the
event that she decides Immediately 10
take independent action is a matter
of speculation in diplomatic circles in
Toxic. 1t is believed that 1t is entirely
improbable that Japan viii make any
effort to retake the Tstsu or send war
ships to Canton waters. While war is
regarded as most improbable, the naval
base at Sasebo Is extremely active.
It is announced that a part OF the
hrst squadron will leave port on March
IA. The armored cruiser Chiyoda sud-
denly left last night, Coeling is pro-
ceeding rapidly. and a number of tor
pedo-boatf destroyers have already
coaled. Enormous supplies in storage
at sasebo are hurrying aboard the ves-
sells.
At the office of the admiralty it is
pointed out that the first squadron ex-
pected to start on training maneuvers
this week, a fact announced two months
ago; therefore the activity at Sasebo
should not necessarily be considered in
connection with the Tatsu incident.

WOMAN
FOR COLLECTING
RENT ON SUNDAY
Police Hear Prisoner Is Wanted
by Frisco Authorities in
Murder Charge. Z

Julius Palmerio, 80 years old. of 80
Cutler street, was arraigned in the
Second Precinct Court today on the
charge of carrying a razor in his
pocket, and, while he is held in $1,000
bail for the Grand Jury, the police will
make al investigation. as 1t is claimed
that he is wanted by the authorities in
San Francisco for numbering a man.
Palnerio came near causing a riot in
Cutler street yesterday afternoon by
assaulting Mrs. Mary De Gurcio, of 70
Cutler street. when she went to the
house where he boarded to collect rent.
Palmerio, it is said, tried to prevent
the woman with whom he boarded
from paying the rent, telling her to
make Mrs. De Gurcio come today, and
when the latter told him to mind his
own business he slapped her in the
face. Mrs. De Gurcio gave. Palmerio
a punch on the Jaw in return.
The fight between the man and
woman nearly caused a panic among
the other women in the house, and one
of them ran to Mrs. De Gurclo's home
and reported to her two sons that their
was being assaulted.
The young men hurried to the scene,
which by that time had been trans
ferred to the street. The De Gurcio
boys relieved their mother of her
troubles n landed several hard
punches oil Palmerio. which sent him
to the ground. AS he fell Mrs. De
Gurcio saw q razor. sticking out of his
pocket, which she seized.
While all his was going on Police
men Sullivan and Garry arrived. They
found a big crowd around Palmerio,
who was getting punches from all
sides. He begged the policemen 70
save him from being killed. He was
taken to the police station In a pretty
well battered-up condition.
