James L. Gallagher was taken 10
Claudianes' cell and positively fdenti-
ned him as a man whom he had seen
in the vicinity Of his home in Nine
teenth avenue in Oakland on several
occasions prior to the dynamiting OF
his home Gallagher made a partial
Identification from the prisoners pho
tograph Tuesday, and yesterday he rec
ognized Claudianes as the man
whom he had seen in Oakland and
also stated that he had noticed him q
number of times in the courtrooms dur
ing the progress Of the graft trials.
Under instructions from Langdon he
refused to discuss the case after leav-
ing the city prison, where he had Wis
itcd Claudianes.
Clsudianes is no longer in the city
prison, but in the Oakland jail. where
he was taken yesterday afternoon
Prior TO his removal Captain OF De-
tectiVes Petersen of Oakland came 10
san Francisco and interviewed him in
company with District Attorney Lang
don, Special Agent Burns, Chief of
Police Biggy. Captain of Detectives
Kelly and Detectives Goff and Murphy.
The interview lasted an hour or more
and at its conclusion Petersen again
asserted his belief that Claudianes was
lying.
CHEAP FAKER, SAYS PETERSEN
He is a cheap faker in my opinion, p"
said Captain Petersen, and after talk
ing with him I am of the same opinion
that I expressed yesterday. 1 am not
all impressed with the story he is
credited with having told, and don't
believe he had anything TO do with
the case. Although that is my personal
opinion of the matter, 1 will, of course,
DO everything within my power to clear
up the affair. ] would not be at all
surprised. however, IL Peter Clau0i-
anes walked into police headquarters
here at any time, gave himself up and
explained away the whole matter"
Petersen's opinion is coincided in by
many acQuaintances of John Claudi-
anes who assert that the man has for
many years suffered from mental aber-
rations traceable to his excesses and is
at times irresponsible and fiighty in
his statements. He suffered several
bad attacks OF brain fever within the
last few years, and his sanity has been
questioned by physicians attending
him and by members of his family.
STRANGER AND BOY ENTER CASE
A mysterious stranger, whose iden-
tity Langdon would not disclose, came
into the case yesterday. He visited
the Jail with Langdon and was taken
in TO see the prisoner. Later he was
whirled away with Langdon in the
latters automobile and accompanied
the district attorney TO Oakland. He
is a man Of middle age, with a brown
mustache, and has the appearance OF
a foreigner. Langdon and this strang-
er, together with Burns and Con and
Murphy of the local detective depart
ment and Captain Petersen of Oak
land, accompanied Claudianes to Oak
land and spent about two hours re-
visiting the scenes Of the explosions.
Another important feature of the
investigation was the appearance OF
the boy who found the letter written
by John Claudianes. He called al
the police station about noon and
expressed his willingness TO throw
some light on the case. He was hus-
tied in TO Chief Biggy's Office and did
not appear again. Langdon only
laughed when ii was suggested that
this boy was being held in custody.

ALA DIES WITH
CURSES UPON LIPS
Slayer of Father Leo Heinrichs
Pays Extreme Penalty for
His Crime
Murderer Calls Down Maledic=
tions of Most High for
His Predicament

CANON CITY, Colo, July 15.-Calling
down the malediction of the most high
upon the Roman priesthood and shout
ing in Italian Long live Italy, long
live the Protestantsv Giuseppe ALA,
the murderer of Father Leo Heinrichs.
at $50 o'clock tonight and paid the
extreme penalty of his crime.
Perhaps a more sensational and
thrilling scene was never beheld by
any of the 16 persons present than the
execution of this misguided Italian
murderer, whose cries and screams
were only hushed by the automatic
ever silenced the tongue that cried
for vengeance against those whom Ala
had considered the destroyers of his
home and happiness.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Warden
Cleghorn of the state penitentiary
through his interpreter, Antonio Sasso,
a prison guard, read the death warrant
to ALA.
READY TO DIE, HE SAYS
Contrary to expectations the prisoner
exhibited no emotion, not even moving
a muscle, and when the reading was
finished said:
"All right, 1 am ready to die now
At o'clock supper was served to the
prisoner, it being the regular meal
served to the officers of the prison
portions. saying that one was for his
wife. one for himself and one each for
his three children. He then ate with
apparent composure and relish.
At o'clock Guard Sasso visited ALA
with the information that within an
hour the execution would take place.
Ala again assented and said he was
ready at any time. He further said he
felt no sorrow whatever for having
killed Father Leo. He was certain that
Father Leo was the man he had been
searching for for many months and de-
clared that he recognized the priest as
his tormentor by a scar on the side
of his face.
ACCUSES~DEAD PRIEST
Ala said he had worked for Father
Leo in Portugal and was sure that he
had killed the right man. Ala said
he did not believe there was a God,
for If SO he would not have been per-
mitted to be in his present predica-
ment. He said he found no fault with
the law, but that the priest did wrong
in breaking up his family.
At $50 o'clock, everything being in
readiness, the warden's assistants ap-
preached Alias cell and led the con-
ueHiheu Mdn " tHe execution mouse,
where the black cap and moose were
adjusted by the deputy warden.
RENDS AIR WITH CURSES
During the procedure ALA became
frantic and rent the air with yells and
curses against the priesthood = and
shouting Long live Italy, long live the
Protestants.
Ala was placed upon the trap, Chap
lain Blake of the prison uttered a short
prayer, the dripping water of the
automatic mechanism released the
great weight, and at exactly $3.50
o'clock the body was jerked into the
air.
Unfortunately Alias neck was not
broken, owing to the slipping of the
rope, and he died of strangulation.
After 19 minutes Alias body was cut
down and he was pronounced dead.

LET US TRADE WITH OURSELVES.

The best way to stop the mail or der business is for the local merchant to get into the advertising game just as do the gentlemen who conduct the outside business. The latter know
 how to catch the eye and ear of the purchasers. They make lot of prices on articles which seem attrac- tive, forgetting to mention quality, time consumed in delivery, freight or express rates and many other things where people have the advan- tage in trading with the home mer- chant. Just let the people know that you can do as well as the fellows who are located in other places and prove it. This can easily be done. One pound of good coffee is worth two of the inferior grades handled by these
 cheap" outside concerns. You have to use twice as much of the poor to get any results and then you haven't made coffee. but a mess from doc tored beans, etc, and only a poor flavor of the real thing. The outside fellow cannot sell good articles for less than their real value any more than can the local merchant We can not expect something for nothing. The local merchants have not made fortunes in their business and many of them have been busy here a long time. They also assist in educating your children, in giving protection to your homes. in cleaning your alleys, in supporting your churches, in help ing every one of the ten thousand de mands for fairs, charities. brass bands. rallies, etc They are hit com ing and going, and, while the de mands are heavy, they keep chipping in just the same. The way to make a town good is to do business with it, leave the money at home instead of sending it outside. We make our money here, our jobs are here, our

MORRISON FLAYS uNeRATEFuL REPUBLICANS.

Hon. Bob Morrison of Prescott de liyered himself of a scathing rebuke to those Arizona republicans who are now understood to be planning to in struct the Arizona delegation to the national republican convention this year for Secretary Taft.
 MT. Morrison finds no fault with Secretary Taft, but he points to the great obligation which has been placed upon Arizona by Senator For aker of Ohio by his determined fight n the senate against the effort of President Roosevelt and the republi- >an national administration to- tie Arizona to New Mexico :n joint state hood. Morrison was one of the loyal and true Arizonans who spent much of his time in the national capital during the fight to preserve to Ari- zona the heritage which has been won by the pioneers who conquered the Apache, who reclaimed the des- ert valleys and developed this terri tory into the richest mineral subdi- vision of the United States Morri- son is in a position to speak of the great work performed by Senator Foraker for the people of this terri tory at time when it looked like the blight of the proposed joint statehood had been placed upon them irrevoca- bIy! After this iniquitous measure had been passed in the house by the use of the presidential big stick and the powerful and influential political club yielded by the speaker of that iawmaking body it was Foraker who stood for Arizona and refused to al low the passage of the measure until it had been amended so that the peo- pie of Arizona were left to say wheth- CT they desired statehood with New Mexico or not ....--..
 We are publishing the remarks Of Mr Morrison today so that the people of Cochise county may know that there is to be a fight made in the republican party in this territory to head of the effort now being made in the territory to commit Arizona to a policy of gross ingratitude.
 Morrison is right If we love Ari- zona we must all stand by the friends Of Arizona

A Dreadful Assault

Justice Ball, an Irish judge, was noted for his amusing manifestations of ignorance, but whether they were real or pretended has never been clear ly established. He tried a case in which a man was indicted for robbery at the house of a poor widow. The first witness was the young daughter of the widow, who identified the pris- oner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mothers chest.
 Do you say that the prisoner at the bar broke your mothers chest?" said the judge in astonishment
 He did, my lord" answered the girl. He jumped on 1t till he smashed 1t entirely"
 The judge turned to the crown coun- gel and said: How is this? Why Is not the prisoner indicted for murder; If he smashed this poor woman's chest in the way the witness has described. he must surely have killed her"
 But, my lord" said the counsel, '1t was wooden chest."-Cornhill Nigga zine.

IS FOWLER THE CHOICE OF KIBBEY.

There are indications al present that Hon B. A. Fowler Of Phoenix is the choice of Governor Kibbey as his successor in the governors chair. It does not necessarily follow, however, that the present governor is express ing the wish of majority of the re publican party, or a majority of all the people of Arizona. in his prefer ence of his successor, if reports ema- hating from the capital city may be taken as correct. We belieye if the republican party of the territory was afforded an opportunity to name the successor of Governor Kibbey, the I,arGy would not name 3. A. Fowler. The present secretary of the territory. in. our opinion, would be a more pop ular candidate for the position. Hon. W. F.

In a recent letter from New York to the Record-Herald Wellman predicts that Governor Hughes of New York has concluded to withdraw from the race for the republican nomination for president Tn the past MT. Wellman has made a great many political guesses which took no prizes and from the growing sentiment for Hughes, throughout the country it is just possible that this discoverer of the north pole has made another mis- take.

The Buds.

Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and ed ucator, was greatly beloved In the south, and his visits were always en- joined by his former pupils and par ishioners. In his later years 1t was his custom to offer prayer whenever he made a ministerial call. On one occasion he called at a house where three oc his former pupils were stay ing. These ladies were all past the thirtieth year mark, but fin the eyes of the old gentleman they were still girls, which explains the petition he offered:
 Lord, bless these dear girls, just budding into sweet womanhood-"
 This was too much for one of the number, who, taking advantage of the doctors deafness. added this clause sotto voce: Alas, Lord. budded. bloom ed, faded and stin unpickedr'
