WEAK SHOWING
OF THE DEFENSE

Probably Go to Jury
Today.

ing of evidence in the trial of Giuseppe
Ala, charged with murder in killing
Father Francis Leo Heinrichs at the
altar in ST. Elizabeth's Catholic
church on the morning of Feb. % last.
was concluded this afternoon. The
prisoner himself was not placed upon
the stand. and the defense called only
two witnesses, DIR. Joseph Cuneo, for
meriy Italian consul in Denver, and
DIR. Baron Gustave Tosti, the present
local representative of the Italian gov
eminent. Both testified as physicians,
although DR.. Cuneo acknowledged he
was not an expert on mental diseases
He testified that he had not had time
to form an opinion on the sanity of
the prisoner, while DR.. Tosti said he
believed Ala insane from the simple
fact he had killed his victim without a
motive.
No evidence that Ala was an an
archist or that he had ever been a
member of any sort of society or even
that he had been a reader of anarchis-
tic literature has been adduced during
the trial.
Tomorrow morning the attorneys on
both sides will make brief arguments
and the judge will deliver his instruc-
lions. 1t is expected the case will go
to the jury by noon tomorrow at the
latest

Four jurors have been selected OF The
twelve who will try Joseph Sullivan
for the murder of Patrolman Charles
Ford Dec IA. 1907 Their names are
given above.
OF the thirteen remaining in the spe-
cial panel yesterday twelve showed up
for examination. George w. Moyle not
being able to come because of sickness
in his family. Charles F. Kutensky was
excused by the court because he IS
summoned to appear as a witness next
week I'm a case which is to be tried in
Montana.
This left only eleven men to examine
before the special panel was exhaust
ed and Judge Armstrong in the morn
ing ordered. another special panel of
fifty drawn to appear this morning.
Deputy sheriffs spent the entire day
in serving the subpoenas and worked
way into the night. They will not com
plete the work until this morning.
OF those remaining Denney and Stof-
fer were acceptable to both sides and
were sworn.
Those excused for cause by the court
on the challenge of the defense or the
state had all formed opinions which
they declared il would take evidence to
remove.
OF the new panel of fifty names,
forty-three live in the city This is
unusual as in most cases about a third
of those summoned come from the
country districts.
Because the first panel had been ex-
hausted Judge Armstrong adjourned
court at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday after
noon until this morning.
There does not seem to be mu IN
prospect of completing the jury this
week
Sullivan chats pleasantly with all
those about him and seems perfectly
at ease while in the court room. He
sizes up each talesman as he steps in
to the box to be examined and has
been of great assistance to his attor-
neys. He seems to be well versed in
criminal procedure and to be able to
apply his knowledge TO good adVan-
tage.

HUGHES WANTS

New York Governor in Deadly
Earnest in Race Track
Matter.

Albany, n. Y, March 11.-Fear that the
anti-racetrack gambling legislation
recommended by Governor Hughes in his
annual message to the legislature might
be smothered in committee was dispeled
to some extent today by the action of
the senate committee on codes in re-
porting the first of the bills introduced
by Senator Agnew TO embody the gov
ernor's recommendations. The assembly
codes committee was expected to take
similar action this evening but its hear
ings on other bills were protracted and
1t adjourned without action until tomor-
row. The bills will be discussed then
and probably reported
Amendment Disapproved.
The advocates of the,Iegislation, especi-
ally Governor Hughes, were disappointed
to find that the senate committee had
amended the bill so as to defer its TAX
ing effect until Sept ]. The governor
made no secret of mis- disapproval of this
amendment, saying that its only purpose
was to exempt the major part of this
years racing schedule from the prohi-
bition of gambling, and that there was
no reason for postponing obedience to
the constitution of the state"
Reminded by the newspaper men that
the majority of code amendments are
drawn to take effect Sept. ], he explained
that this is done to give lawyers time
to accommodate their pending litigation
to the change. None who talked with
the governor today were left in any doubt
that he will insist that the legislation
take effect Immediately.
Imprisonment Only.
The bill reported today is really a sec
ondary one in the anti gambling series.

Broke Down From overwork.

on Oct l, the day upon which the
Laurens school, as they called It, was
opened, Miss Weed broke down as a
result of overwork, and was taken to
a sanitarium in West Newton, where
she had since been under treatment for
nervous prOStratiOn. While at the sani-
tarium, Miss Weed had been subject
to severe attacks of melancholia.
Last night she escaped from the san
itaTium and made her way to the Lau-
rens school Miss Hardee volunteered
to care for her during the night pend
ing her return to the sanitarium.
Miss Weed behaved in a peculiar
manner, according to the teachers,
wandering aimlessly about the school
building and occasionally making some
strange and incoherent remark. AT
length Miss Hardee persuaded Miss
Weed to retire and the demented wo-
man followed her TO her own chamber
on the third floor of the school.

His Kind
 Cruelty
By Judith Spencer
(Copyright)

The doctors had agreed that it was overwork, and that Percival Challoner had narrowly escaped brain fever So they ordered him away and prescribed two months of rest-of perfect idle ness.
 His choice lay between the sea and the mountains, and Challoner chose the sea. He had always hated fash ionable crowds and counted himself lucky in finding a picturesque yet not over-popular spot upon the coast, and in that place piauant and charming girl with whom he could spend long hours in pleasant chat, and take his morning walk along the shore
 The days were perfect summer days work, study, reading of every kind had been forbidden him, and so with nothing whatever to do and pretty and bright young creature just at hand, what could be more prob able or more natural than for Chal- lOner to fall in love?
 Madge Winthrop was openly pleased with his attentions, and it seemed quite natural to her that they should be much together since an elder gen eration of Challoners and WinthrOps had been close friends. But Chal- loner could see that while his feeling for his fair companion quickly deep ened into love, her attitude toward him continued to be that of frank and free good compradeship That trou- bled him at times, and yet his trou- ble was hardly more than the light cloud which floats across the summer sky. so he tried to be content to wait to bde his time.
 From the first Madge seemed to as sume that his condition of semi-in- validism entitled him to certain amount of playful indulgence and his first trhing feeling of embarrassment at this had soon changed into satisfac- tion as he saw how he could turn it cleverly to his own advantage
 There was but one of Madges amusements in which he could not share, and that was the sea bathing It was doubly a deprivation to him. since he was an expert swimmer and also because Madge took to the water like veritable nymph of the sea. But the physicians had said that this exercise was too violent for him now. and they had positively forbidden it.
 One morning after a storm, when the waters had dark and angry look,
The Prescott daily news., 1908-01-04

Mrs Donald, Madges aunt and chap erone, begged her not to go in that day But Madge laughed at her fears,
 There were fewer bathers from the hotel than usual that morning. and of those who ventuyed in, most for some reason, kept quite near the shore
 But Madge, either from spirit of bravado or from utter lack of any sense of danger, swan out and out. until she was far beyond the break CTS and away from everyone
 Challoner sat on the blun and watched her as usual but with an un- usual sense of irritation which at last changed to anxiety and then alarm. Suddenly he sprang up, some thing was wrong-she was being car ried out by the force of the under tow-~and now she had become con scious of her danger; he saw her fling up her arms.
 Down from the bluff he raced. fling ing off his coat and vest as he ran. Kicking off his shoes. he shouted to those on the shore, who had begun to have some dim consciousness of her peril: Quick, bring out the iine!" and boldly breasted the breakers and swam out to save his love.
 It was a mighty effort but he sue ceeded in reaching her at last, though not until Madge's presence of mind had quite deserted her Once she had gone down, and now as he caught her she clutched at him frantically, mad ly. and her arms twined themselves like serpents about his throat. He could not breathe. he could not shake

his way to Miss Winthrop's home
 Everitt had been there before him, and after lengthy intercession and ex. planation of his friends seeming cruelty in striking her. and showing her that to that one blow she could lay her present existence, the fact dawned upon her that she was entirely wrong and that she owed her life to the heroism of Percival Challoner.
 Margaret flushed and half arose from her chair as he entered. Mar garet, dear he said, surely you are not angry? You were in danger of death and what did was only to save the girl l loved.'
 She had turned away from him and he could not see her face. She made no reply. He caught her hand and raised it to his lips.
 T did not mean to offend you," he said sadly You will not send me way?7
 "Never,' she breathed
 He caught her in his arms, and with her fair head pillowed against his shoulder, she smiled up at him, a trem- ulous, sweet smile.
