said;
80 far there never have been any
differences, except in the imagination
OF some people"

matters. he said: IF we are going to
get a new navy, everyone should be
interested in getting as good a navy
as possible and the president believes
in that idea"
African hunting was the particular
theme during the afternoon. THE

to the experiences OF several guests

ALA PAYS DEATH PENALTY
MURDERER OF PRIEST HANGED
AT CANYON CITY.
is CARRIED TO TIE scAFFoLD
Cries and Screams Of Italian Assassin
Only flushed by Sprnging OF Trap.
Rope Slips and He Dies Of Straneu-
!ation.

Canyon City, Colo, July 1s.-Calling
down maledictions upon the Roman
priesthood and shouting in Italian,
Long live Italy! Long live the Prot
estants!" Giuseppe Ala, the murderer
Of Father Leo Heinrichs, was carried
to the death trap and exactly at 80
o'clock last night paid the extreme
penalty of his crime.
Perhaps more sensational and
thrilling scene was never beheld by
any OF the sixteen persons present
than the execution of this Italian muir
derer. whose cries and screams were
only hushed by the automatic spring
ing OF the mechanism which forever
silenced the tongue that cried for
vengeance against those whom ALA
had considered the destr0yers of his
home and happiness.
At 4 o'clock Warden Cleghorn of
the state penitentiary, through his in
terpreter, Antonio Sasso, prison
guard, read the death warrant to Ala.
Contrary to expectations, the prisoner
exhibited no emotion not even moving
muscle, and when the reading was
finished, said: "All right. am ready
to die now"
At O'Clock supper was served to
the prisoner. Before eating he divided
1t into five portions, saying that one
was for his wife, one for himself and
one each for his three children. He then
ate with apparent compoSure and rel
ish. $780,.
At z O'Clock Guard Sasso came to
him with the information that within
one hour the execution would take
place. ALA again assented and said
he was ready at any time. He further
said he felt no sorrow whatever for
having killed Father Leo. He was
certain that Father LEO was the man
he had been searching for for many
months, and claimed that he had rec
ogni0ed the priest by q scar on the
side Of his face. Ala said he had
worked for Father Leo In Portugal.
and was sure that he had killed the
right man. Ala said he did not be-
heve there was God, for If so he
would not have been permitted to be
in his present predicament He said
he found no fault with the law, but
that the priest did wrong in breaking
up his family.
At $3.50 O'Clock, everything being In
readiness, the wardens assistants ap-
preached Alias cell and led the con.
demned man to the execution house,
where the black cap and moose were
by the deputy warden. Dur
ing this procedure Ala became fran.
tic and shouted, Long live Italy!
Long live the Protestants" Ala was
placed upon the trap, Chaplain Blake
of the prison uttered a short prayer,
the dripping water of the automatic
mechanism released the great weight,
and at exactly $50 the body was
ierked into the air.
Unfortunately Alias neck was not
broken, owing TO the Shipping OF the
rope, and he died OF strangulation.
