(By Associated Press.)
Denver, Mar. 10.-When the trial
of Giuseppe Ala, charged with the
murder of Father Leo Heinrichs,
was resumed at 10 am. today before
Judge Whitford in the criminal d.
vision of the district court, indica-
tions were that the state would be
able to present the entire case, in
Guiding the testimony of the insan-
ity experts, before the close of the
day, and that the prisoners defense
would be heard tomorrow.
The jury is composed of plain
business men, non-Catholic, who de-
clared under examination that they
were not opposed to hanging and
would not be influenced by the fact
that the murdered man was a priest.
In his opening statement the dis
trict attorney. George A. Stidger,
brifiy sketched the life of Ala and
described the shooting.
He spoke in simple words, with no
effort at eloquence; but his descrip-
ton made a deep impression on the
jury and the spectators.
Coroner Rollins and others then
gave their testimony.
During the entire morning eighi
alienists watched Ala closely. The
latter sat most Of the time with his
eyes downcast, but occasionally he
would look at the jury and seem to
be trying to make out what was 60

FATHER LAMBERT.

The praises of the venerable editor of the Free
mans Journal have been lately sounded fiom all
quarters. Many suggestions have been offered to
show how highly he has been esteemed by the
Catholics of America. Since Orestes A. Brownson
discontinued his Quarterly Review no .other
churchman has done more for the Catholic cause
than Father Lambert. His Notes on Ingerso'
won for him not only the esteem and praises OF
Catholics but of all denominations who were zeai-
Gus for the perpetuation of Christianity. book
seller told the writer that he sold thousands Of
copies of that unpretentous but unanswerable work
to non-Catholics. That alone would immortalize
his name and endear him to every Christian heart.
As philosopher and eminent divine we know not
if he has any equal in the American church. His
silent and unknown to him admirers are legion
To him do all look when any question affecting
Catholic interests preached. His broad com
prehensive and logical mind never fails to say the
right thing and always in clear forcibe and dig
nihed manner. As a controversalist. Father Lam
bert never has failed to silence his opponent In
gersoll would not accept his challenge to debate
on the truth of the Christian religion which in his
public lectures he denounced, and for cheap APP
plause ridculed. Such noble champion deserves
public recognition and that whilst he yields the pen
in defense of the of God and country for
which he volunteered his services during our civil
war
But how the American Catholics to show
their love, affection and deep appreciation of this
devoted priest. profound and logical thinker,
learned theologian and uncompromising defender
OF the Faith of our Fathers. This is question
which none of our journals have answered If the
venerable pastor and veteran writer were asked him
self, we doubt not but his answer would be: "Say
a little prayer for and permit me in silence TO
serve the cause to which have devoted nv life"
The suggestion of sending him letters bearing mes
sages of esteem, affection and love would be no pub
lie recognition of Father Lamberts merits and
worth. The practical and most beneficial living
monument that could be offered would be a republi-
cation of all his works, and have them arranged
that all inquirers after truth could be supplied with
the volume bearing OH the subject which they de-
sire to have explained. We believe his writings
cover the whole range of religious inquiry What
