This closer communion with the

fact that be is quite as up-to-date and

farmer has changed his attitude
towards the home town. He has come
70 a realization that the distance be-
tween the farm and the town has been
annihilated and that his work on the
farm is an important thing in the
maintenance Of the nearby town. He
is interested in good roads, be Is IN

These are matters OF Importance to
him Just as well as things directly re

merchant, the relationship Of the agri.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER. Colo, March S.-Giuseppe
Alio will be placed ON trial in the GRIM
inal branch of the district court tonlor-
row for the murder of Father Leo
Heinrichs at the altardn st. Elizabeth S
Catholic church on Sunday morning,
February %. when he was giving the
sacrament
Four of the most expert brain spec
ialists in this city have given it as their
opinion that Alio is perfectly sane. and
this after observing him since his re-
turn to this city from Colorado Springs,
whittier he was taken to avoid possible
mob violence.
The defense has engaged three alien
lists to be present during the trial.
They will sit in the court room and
observe the defendant for the purpose
of detecting any sign of insanity.
On the other hand the prosecution
has summoned eight alienists to be
present whose expert knowledge will
be used to offset any claim of insanity
that might be raised by Alio's attor-
news.
