MURDERER NOT INSANE.
Ala Knew What He Was Doing When
hs Shot the Priest,


He Shot the Priest.
Denver.-Giuseppe ALA. slayer Of
Father Leo Heinrichs. 10 a perfectly
sane and normal man. -Four qualified
alienists testified to this fact In the
West Side court Tuesday afternoon
and the last hope Of Ala for an eva
sion Of punishment faded away. Even
the madhouse is closed upon the MUIR
derer Of the priest. When Interpreter
Mattel whispered the verdict Of the in
sanity experts into Alias ear com.
plste change overcame him. For two
days he had sat looking calmly about
him, but as he heard that he had been
pronounced sane his head fell heavily
upon his chest, and for five minutes he
sat like q statue Of despair. Not q
muscle Of his face twitched. but 1t was
the first exhibition Of feeling that he
has given.
District Attorney George Stidger
Tuesday took the initiative in estab-
fishing the defendants sanity. In his
opening address to the jury he said
that the state would take this unusual
course because Of the world wide in
terest in the case and the heinous ma
ture Of the crime. Attorney Widdi-
comb made NO statement Of the de-
fense's case.
Tuesday night Attorney Widdicomb
L. j. Stark, Baron Tostis counsel. the
baron himself and six alienists made
further examination Of Ala In his
cell at the county Jail.
District Attorney Stidger proved the
fact Of the murder by some dozen wit.
nesses. During the afternoon he COM
pleted the first half Of the states testi-
mony and began introducing insanity
experts to prove the sanity OF Ala.
Drs. Howell T. Pershing. Edward Dele
hanty. Be- nard Oettinger and Edward
Lazell took the stand and united In de-
claring ALA sane.
Not only that, but DR.. Delehanty said
Ala was above the average Of his class
in intelligence. while DR.. OettinGer
testified that he knew OF no possible
condition with reference to ALA which
would form basis on which he might
be declared insane.
