After Receiving Sacred Wafer
From Hands of Priest As.
sassin Shoots Him.
GRUDGt AGAINST. ALL PRIESTS
Murderer, Arrested After Desperate
Fight, Says He Is an Anarchist,
and Proud of II.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 25.-Father Leo
Heinrichs was shot and killed when
administering the sacrament at early
mass in st. Elizabetn's Cathedral, this
city, at o'clock yesterday morning.
Kneeling at the altar rail- between two
women, Giuseppe Guaranaccio pressed
the muzzle of pistol against the body
of the priest, after receiving from him
the consecrated wafer, and shot the
priest through the heart. Enchanting.
My God, my God" Father Leo fell
prone in front of the altar ana dfea
without another word.
Panic in the Church.
With an inarticulate scream the as.
sassin sprang into the aisle and,
waving the smoking pistol about his
head, dashed to the church door. For
in the church were daZed. Then a
woman shrieked and the congregation
became panic-stricken. Some women
tainted and many became hysterical.
Several men rushed to the aid of the
priest and others started in pusuit of
the murderer. Among the latter was
Patrolman Daniel Cronin, who over
took the fleeing Italian on the steps.
Puts Up Desperate Fight.
Guarnaccio attempted to shhot the po-
liceman, but was foiled, and over
powered only after desperate fight in
which several men had come to the
assistance of the officer. The MUIR
derer was hurriedly removed to the
city Jail, and as threats of summary
justice were made, Chief of Police
Michael Delaney called out the reserve
force of patrolmen.
Guarnaccio was placed in solitary con-
finement at the city Jail. He admitted
to a policeman who interviewed him
that the priest whom he had killed
was a stranger to him, and in ex-
PLANTATION of his crime made the fol-
lowing statement:
drudge Against All Priests.
Il just went over there because l
have a grudge against all priests in
general. They are all against the
workingmn. went to the communion
rail because could get better shot.
did not give dam whether he was
German priest or any other kind Of a
priest. They are all in the same class.
Il left Italy three months ago; went
first to Central America and then
came to the United States and to Den.
YER. l am an anarchist, and I am
proud of it. I shot him and my only
regret is that could not have shot the
whole bunch of priests in the church."
Spirited Away for Safety.
Although no actual demonstration
against the murderer of Father Leo
had been made, there was much talk
around town throughout the day of the
justice of lynching him. In order to
avoid an attack on the city Jail Guara-
naccio was taken to the county Jail, a
more easily defended building, where
he remained several hours. Small
groups of men began to congregate
near the county Jail, and after a con-
sultation the authorities decided to
take Guaranaccio out of town. Ac-
cordingly he was hustled into an au-
tomobile and fast run was made to
Littleton, fourteen miles from Denver,
where train was boarded for Colo.
RADIO Springs.
