ALA IS GUILTY
OF THE MURDER OF THE DEN
YER PRIEST.
APPEAL WAS TAKEN
By His Attorney, But It Will Likely
Prove Of No Avail. Cannot Be
Hanged Within Sixty Days of
Verdict.

Denver, Col.-'Is there no ap-
ppeal?"
These were tho only words spoken
by Giuseppe Ala when informed by
Interpreter Matter that the jury
found him guilty of murder in the
first degree and fixed sentence at
death.
Just eighteen days after firing the
shot which brought death to Father
Francisi Leo Heinrichs at the altar in
st Elizabeth's Catholic church, while
in the act of administering the holy
sacrament, this wanderer from Italy,
an alleged, but not proven anarchist,
heard his doom.
In the court room not three blocks
from the church where he committed
his crime, and within the sound of
the chimes which he said drew him
to that church, Ala received the
judgment delivered by the jury.
When the jury had been polled the
judge thanked them for having done
their duty and expressed his approval
Attorney Widdrocombe of th de-
Tense made a motion for a new trial
and was granted five days in which
to file papers. The prisoner was
then ordered to be returned to the
county Jail pending this petition. Un-
der the laws of the state Ala can
not be hanged within sixty days Of

HOUSE.

After heated discussion by var
ious members of the lower house, the
appropriation bill carrying over $780,
900 was allowed to go to the senate
without any reduction being made.
The bill was then placed on final pas
sage and taken up and read through
by the clerk, the entire measure car
rying about $305,000, or about $780,
600 more than that for the support
and maintenance and improvements
of the University of Mississippi.
Some twelve or fifteen local bills
were then taken up and disposed OF
in rapid fire order, all Of them per-
tanning to local matters or people, and
exciting neither interest nor discus
sion outside the counties or localities.
Mr.. Williams, Of Kinds, intro
duced privileged resolution similar
to the one that was adopted several
days ago, presented by Mr.. Jones, of
Franklin, denunciatory of the Jackson
Evening News in its utterances con-
cerning certain members and their
alignments and proclivities, or classif-
cation.
Before taking up the local bills
Chairman Norrell, of the local and
private committee, yielded the floor
to Mr.. Bird, of Lawrence, who wished
to call up the Simmons, land tax bill
from the senate. This was the bill
which was introduced in order to
quiet the title Of the state to certain
lands in the southeastern counties OF
the state, which we're acquired by set
tiers prior to the abatement of the
act of March 10, 1872, but who were
unable, by reason of the then existing
conditions, to show tax receipts, and
SO, while the people are virtually in
possession of the lands, they have
never been technically written off the
state land roll. The bill passed with
out opposition.
The afternoon session Of the
house, like part of that Of the morn
ing, was devoted to local bills and
measures, one of the first being bill
to authorize the supervisors of Boil
var county to issue 100000 in bonds
for the purpose of improving roads.
During the consideration of the
local bills a message was received
from the senate transmitting the child
labor and the Old Ladies Home bills,
which were properly referred.

peculiar feeling for him, because,
throughout that time, we have worked

man so we'll fitted to be President. He
is not only absolutely fearless, absolute
ly disinterested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance with the ma

broadcast sympathies with all our citi-

President of the plain people as Lin

freer from the least faint of demagogy,
the least tendency to arouse or appeal
to class hatred of anv kind. He has a
peculiar and intimate knowledge of and

property owner. No matter what his
creed, his color or the section of the
country from which he comes. if he is
an honest, hard working man, who tries
to do his duty toward his neighbor and
toward the country, he can rest assured
that he will have In Mr.. Taft the most
upright representative and the most
dawless of champions. Mr.. Taft stands |
against privilege, and stands preemi- |

the rights of the people which any
country has attained. Because the
people not only elect who shall be their
officers, but at these party conventions
they determine on the men who ought
to be put forward as the representa-
