Denver, March 13.-Anticipating q
plea of insanity on behalf of Giuseppe
Alto, District Attorney Slidger has
taken the unusual curse of attempting
to establish the defendants sanity be-
fore it has been denied by his attorney
in his trial for the murder of Father
Leo Heinricns.
-Four persons of acknowledged repu-
tation as alienists testified positively
that in their opinion Alto is absolutely
sane and in full possession of his
mental faculties. Three other experts
ready to give testimony to the same
effect.
The prosecution has nearly completed
the presentation of it's evidence and the
fate of the defendant will probably rest
in the hands of the jury by tonight.
Joseph Hines, aged 9. altar boy at st.
IIlizabeth's church. was the first wit
ness to- tell of the actual shooting. He
said Father Leo handed the accused
man the sacred wafer during holy
communion and that Alto spat out the
wafer and drawing a pistol with his
left hand, fired at the priest. AS Father
Heinrichs staggered back Alto rushed
down the aisle waving his pistol.
Joe Miller, aged IL, the other altar
boy, corroborated the testimony of
young Hines, and several of the wit
nesses testified they heard the shots
fired and saw Alto running down the
aisle.
Mrs. f. M. Van Cleave, a commune
cant Of ST. Elizabeth's church, testified
that she saw Alto at the church three
times before the tragedy, and each time
he was accompanied by two other men.
On the second visit the men talked to-
gether and Alto pointed toward the AL
tar. She was in the church at the early
ma on February 20, and although She
did not see the actual shooting she saw
Alto running down the aisle waving his
pistol.

a special train containing emisraht

All though the number of new build
ings erected In Gregory during the iat-
ter part Of 1907 eclipsed all records, the
demand for buildings now seems TO De
greater than ever before. In fact an
actual house anime" exists. With
the acute shortage OF buildings rents
have gone soaring. Many families are
forced to pay $40 to SIS per month for
one room ShackS
There are many building lots which
could have been bought two years <
for $40 or $50 that now with the cree
ton of a cheap building have n monthly
rental value of more than the original
purchase price.
The high rents will undoubtedly slim

the building season of 1908 will be the
greatest I'm the history of Gregory. The
demand is acute for at least one more
large hotel. many business blocks and
innumerable new dwellings.
The city has recently been redistricted
so that hereafter there will be five
wards and a corresponding number of
cOuncilmen. instead OF three.
