PRIEST IS MURDERED

tim a Stranger to the Murderer.
Denver, Feb. 25.-Members of the
Catholic priesthood in this city de-
clare there is no record in the history
of the church of tragedy to parallel
that of the killing of Father Leo Helm
richs while administering the sacra-
ment to Giuseppe Guarnaccio at the
altar of ST. Elizabeths church here.
Never before has a servant of the
church been summoned from the per-
Torrance of his duties in so tragic
and dramatic manner. Kneeling at
the altar rail between two women
Guarnaccio pressed the muzzle of a
revolver against the body of the
priest, after receiving from him the
consecrated wafer and shot the priest
through the heart Exclaiming my
God, my Cod" Father Leo fell prone
In front of the altar and died without
uttering another word With an in
articulate scream the assassin sprang
into the aisle and, waving the pistol
about his head, dashed to the church
door.
For a moment the hundred or more
people in the church were dazed. Then
woman shrieked and the congrega-
tion became panic stricken. Some
women tainted and many became hys-
tericai. Several men rushed to the
MI -Ff h1 nrfn nd nth cta
pursuit of the murderer.
Attempts to Kill Policeman.
Patrolman Daniel Cronin overlook
the fleeing Italian on the steps. Guar
naccio attempted to shoot the police
man and he was overpowered only
after a desperate fight in which sew
eral men had come to the assistance
of the officer.
Guarnaccio was placed in solitary
confinement at the city Jail. He ad
mitted to a policeman who inter
viewed him that the priest whom he
| had killed was a stranger to him ano
| in explanation of his crime said he
| had a grudge against all priests be
| men. He said he is a native of Sicily
| fifty-six years old. He became so
cialist and anarchist at thirty-five
years of age. He is a shoemaker. He
came to America two years ago and
| has since been teaching anarchy
working but little at his trade. He
lived before coming to Denver in Pat
erson, n J., in mill towns of Massa
| chusetts and in Chicago. He came tC
Denver two weeks before Christmas
The statements of Guarnaccio that
| he is an anarchist are borne out
by letters and pamphlets taken from
| him Among his effects was a printed
| list of the murders of the worlds
rulers from the assassination of Czal
Paul of Russia in 1901 down to the
recent killing of the king of Portuga
a few weeks ago. He also had many
pages of anarchistic literature in hi
own handwriting and on printed slips
