priests and franciscan brothers an
peared on the steps and pleaded with
the enraged people to leave the
avenging of the awful murder to God.
The presence of the ecclesiastics in
terceding for the life of the destroyer
of beloved brother had effect. The
single policeman was permitted to
take Ala away in a buggy hastily
driven to police headquarters. Several
hours later Ala was spirited out of
town in an automobile and taken to
Colorado Springs for safekeeping.
Trial Was Brief.
The trial was comparatively brief
but every opportunity of defense was
given. Insanity was offered as plea
to escape the moose. The best alien
lists in Denver testified that Ala was
sane and he was sentenced to be
hanged. A petition from citizens in
Alias native town in Italy pleading
for his life, declaring that he was
undoubtedly insane, was forwarded
to the Italian consul here but for
some reason unexplained was never
presened to the governor. Many be-
lieve that the murder of Father Leo
was part of an anarchistic plot against
the Catholic clergy but nothing has
recently transpired tending to sub
stantiate this view. Previous to com
ing to Denver Father Leo lived at
Paterson, N. ]. Paterson is the head
quarters of the franciscan monks in
this country and 1t has been thought
possible that he incurred the enmity
of some one or perhaps group of an
archists there, personal in it's nature
and applying only to him. His great
popularity and goodness of heart
went strongly to disprove this theory
and no evidence to support il has come
to light. Whether or not Ala brooded
over fancied wrongs until his mind
became diseased, it is admitted that
for years he had entertained a hatred
for the priesthood, and on this Sun
day morning when the chimes sound
ed from the church he had apparently
lost all power of control for good but
the cunning of veil remained The
result was murder which has no par
allel in history.
