FATHER LEo's MURDERER
Arraiqned at Denver-Counsel and In
terpreter Appointed.

Denver, Feb. 27.-Alio, the murderer
of Father Leo, was formally arraigned
in the West Side court today. Robert
II. Widdicombe was appointed counsel
for the defence and Peter Bessie as
interpreter for both sides. Alto will
plead to the charge of murder OF Faith
er Leo when date will be set for his
trial. Prior to this arraignment Alio
was measured by the Bertillon system
by Superintendent Sanders.
The prisoner gave his name as
Giuzppe Alto and his age as so years.
He declared he is of Italian birth and
that he Is shoemaker. On the right
side of his forehead is scar which he
received in falling on the church steps
in trying to escape, after shooting
Father Leo.
While incarcerated in Jail at Colora-
do Springs and prior to his removal
from Denver to that city Alto made
several conflicting statements as to-
his reasons for killing Father Leo.
When told by the interpreter who was
with him almost constantly, that he
would have to sign his statement, he
rctracted much of his former confess
sion and said that the killing of Fathen
Leo was an accident. In his final
signed statement, which will be used
at his trial, Alto said that he attended
services in St. Elizabeth's church, Den
Yer since the last Sunday in June.
The murder of Father Leo, he cx-
planned as follows:
when the others went forward to
receive the host of communion, al
so rose and went forward.
FINALLY it came my turn to receive
the host. The priest placed it in my
mouth. 1t burned my tongue. Think
ing he meant to do me some harm I
Immediately drew my gun, which l had
concealed in my trousers on the right
side.
II drew it with my left hand and
fired, not at the priest, but at the OBJ
ject he held in his hand.
Then l turned and ran toward the
entrance waving the gun in the air
to keep the people from hurting me. I
arrived at the door, when somebody
tripped me and l fell to the floor
where 1 was placed under arrest.
Il carried the revolver because 1 had
been insulted by some of my country
men who were talking against the
Catholic church and preaching the
doctrine of down with the PRIEST"

In that event there will be another election be- fore the time for me to take my seat and whoever goes to congress from Arizona will go as a full fedged congressman, with a vote. ;"
