KILLED WRONG PRIEST.

Denver. Colo, Feb. 25.--The Post
today published what purports to be
a statement said to have been made
by the assassin. Alio, from which II
appears that Father Leo was not the
priest whom he intended to murder
but was mistaken by him for young
Italian priest who had been con-
demned to death by a band of anar-
chists who had been exiled from 81
cily.
This priest, II Is stated, had been
foremost i'm the warfare against NAL
contents In Avolo. Sicily, which cul.
minated twelve years ago in an at
tack upon an Easter procession in
the streets of Avolo. In the fight the
priest was struck upon the head with
a club by a rioter. receiving a wound
which left a scar. This priest, whose
name is not printed afterwards came
10 America. At a meeting of exiled
anarchists in Buenos Ayres. Alio is
said to have confessed. he was chcs
en- by lot to kill the hated priest and
was sent to this country by his asso-
ciates for that purpose.
He is reported to have said he iden-
tilted Father Leo as the man. thinking
he saw a scar on his forehead. When
told that the priest he had killed was
a German and had never been in
Sicily and that there was no scar on
roxysm of grief and afterwards ex
pressed readiness t suffer the con
sequences of hfS mistake.

dedicated Yesterday.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Feb. 25.-
The Italian anarchist who shot and
killed Father Leo Heinrichs in Denver
Sunday, and who Is being held in jail
here, says he was moved to kill the
priest by the ringing of the church
bells, which reminded him of his home
in Sicily, which home, he says, was
wrested from him by the church.
1t appeared from statements made
by the murderer In answer to ques-
tions that when living in Italy he was
expelled from the church in conse-
quence Of mis- anarchistic teachings
and his wife then left him. Her de.
sertlon,it seems, further enraged him
against the church and priests, and
when he heard the church bells ring
ing yesterday morning he determined
TO go out and kin one priest, at least,
and more IL he could accomplish his
design.
The murderer said today that Giu.
seppe Alio was his right name. and
that he was born in the City of Ava
Ion. Cicily, August 10, 1857. He said
that he went to Buenos Ayres, in 1905,
and the revolver with which he
killed Father Leo was purchased
there. He arrived in New York City
n A..

forty-three days as section hand at
Ellis, Kasss he came TO Denver, No
