SLAYER Made Mistake.

The mystery surrounding the mo-
tive of the murderer of Father Leo
Heinrichs at Denver. Colo, Sunday,
was cleared up Tuesday by a confess
sion said 10 have been made in the
Colorado Springs jail by the assassin,
Giuseppe Alio, alias Giuseppe Guar
naccio and Angelo Gabrielle, from
which it appears that Father Leo was
not the priest whom he intended to
murder, but was mistaken by him tor
a young Italian priest who had been
condemned TO death by ? band of an
archiSts who had been exiled from
Sicily.
When told that the priest he had
killed was a German and had never
been in Sicily, and that there was no
scar on his forehead. Alio burst into
a paroxysm of grief, and after it had
passed calmly said:
IF | have killed the wrong man |
am sorry, but | will take the conse-
quences like a man."

Roosevelt Presses Button; Train
Through Hudson Bore.

The first official train of the Hud-
on-Manhattan railroad company to
journey from New York to Hoboken
beneath the Hudson river started at
$40 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when
President Roosevelt pressed a button
at the White house and switched on
the power in the McAdoo tunnel.
The train was made up of eight
cars jammed with 1000 guests wait
ing at the Nineteenth street and Sixth
avenue station when the presidents
signal was received. The station was
dark and the third rails dead, but he
train was brilliantly lighted by its
storage battery.
When everything was ready the
doors OF the train were closed, a tele-
gram was sent TO the White house
announcing that all was ready, and
the president turned on the power BY
a pressure OF a key.
Smoothly and with rapidly gather
ing speed the train drew ont of the
station, the cheers of the throng that
packed the station platform thunder
ing i'll the tube. The more or less
jammed and strap suspended officials
and guests in the train also cheered.
No stops were made until THE Hobo
ken terminus was reached at 1851 O.
clock, the Journey occupying exactly
minutes. No attempt was
made at speed until the under river
bore was reached. then the long
string of steel cars rushed ahead like
tornado, dipping under the bed of
the Hudson in three minutes.
Clusters OF tricolored lights marked
the center tunnel and the boundary
line between New York and N w
Jersey. When the train shot by this
line New Jersey ayers, aldermen,
and state legislators cheered and con
graduated one another.
Gov. Hughes and Gov. Fort of New
Jersey with their military stats in full
uniform were in the first car OF the
train. There was one woman in the
party-MrS. Collins S. Carter, Gov.
Hughes sister-in-law. President Nc

PRIEST ASSASSINATED.
Shot Through Heart by Man to
Whom He is Giving the Com
munion.

With the conSecrated wafer at his
lips, an anarchist-who was receiving
the holy communion from his vic
tim-shot and killed Father Leo Hen
tichs, superior of the local branch OF
the Franciscans, early Sunday at St.
Elizabeth's Roman Catholic church.
Eleventh and Curtis streets, DENY,
Colorado.
The assassin, whose name is Guar
machie Giuseppe, an italian, was
kneeling at the altar rail when he fir
ed. The bullet went through the
priests heart. AS the report of the
pistol resounded through the church
there was utter silence for a moment.
In the pause Father Henrich's voice
rang out in his last words on earth.
My Godl My Cod" he cried in a
loud voice. ITO thee | commend my
soul"
Father Heinrichs then fell forward
in a crumpled heap, tumbling between
two women who were kneeling to the
right of the murderer who also had
just received the sacrament. The
service was early mass and the hour
of the tragedy about 6 o'clock.
The instant that Father Heinrichs
fell the congregation awoke from its
stupor, the tragedy having occurred
so quickly that it utterly dazed the
onlookers.
Shrek upon shrek from the women
succeeded and a scene of the widest
tumult followed. The two women who
were closest to the victim, and the
dress of one of whom was despatched
with the priests blood, tainted, falling
against the altar rail. Several other
women also tainted, while a score OF
men jumped forward to seize the as
sassin.
Giuseppe, however, with a smother
ed Italian curse, and waving the re-
volver above HIS head, dashed toward
the church door, down the middle
aisle.
He was pursued by the men, among
whom was a Patrolman Daniel Cron-
in. Cronin overlook the Italian on the
front steps of the church. The assas-
sin here turned on the patrolman and
pointed the revolver at him. Cronin
sprang on the assassin before the latter
had time to pull the trigger. After a
h~and-to-hand fight Cronin wrenchei
the revolver from the murderer's
grasp. Other men then aided him and
the Italian was completely overpow-
cred, immediately being taken to the
city jail.
Threats of lynching were voice by
the throng, which gathered III front Ct
the church. Chief of Police Michael
Delaney thereupon called out the re-
serve force of police and 4 strong
erard was thrown around thc Ja...
Giuseppe was PLACID N solitary
confinement at the jail H- was sui
len and rebellious. He declared that
Father Heinrichs was a stranger 10 |
him, but that he hated all priests.
