Blade in Desperate Attempt
to Cheat GaIIoWS,
BEATEN lNSENSIBLE
BY PRISON KEEPERS
Attorney for Italian Murderer
Declares Outbreak of His
Client Only Another Evidence
of Insanity,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire ]
Denver March 14,-Guiseppe Ala,
the condemned assassin Of Father
Francis Leo Henrichs, made a wild
attempt to escape from the county
Jail today. He assaulted a "trusty'
with razor blade, that he had Sc
cured in some unknown manner, seri-
ousIy cutting him in the neck. and
might have added a second murder to
his Denver record if Deputy Warden
Carpen had not rushed to the
"trusty's" aid. Even with the two
men against him Ala struggled like
a wild animal to escape, and had to
be beaten almost to unconsciOusness
before he would give up. He was
exhausted by his eXertions and Ghf9.
lutely refused to talk with any one
this afternoon.
Baron Tosti the Italian consul
claims that the outbreak is another
proof of Alias insanity, but Attorney
Widdicombe, who undertook the de-
fense of the assassin under the
courts order said this afternoon:
Il was not surprised in the least
when | heard this morning that Gui-
seppe Tia had attempted to murder
guard at the county jail in an effort
to escape.
'T have always regarded the pris-
oner as a dangerous man, and even
while / defended him l had no be-
lief that he was insane. | have al
ways regarded him as a desperate and
sane man no WoulG moi stop al any
thing to carry out his ideas"
Michaelo Brunetti, who is suspected
of having left the razor where 1t was
found by ALA, when interviewed this
afternoon denied positively that he
had done SO or that he had any
knowledge as to how ALA obtained
the weapon. Sheriff Alexander Nisbt
and the police, however, are CON
vinced by this incident that the mur-
derer Of the priest has accomplices or
cOnfederates who are determined to
save his life if possible and that they
belong to an organization.
Baron GustavO Tosti the italian
consul, said today that Alias hope
less attempt to escape from Jail CON
firmed his belief that the man is in
sane He added;
Il have no intention Of appealing
to the Italian government or trying to
make this an international affair. 1t
is purely a local matter ALA is here, |
his deed was committed in this coun- |
try and he must be dealt with under !
the laws Of Colorado. | have formed |

release, even though l am convinced |
he should be in an asylum. In fact |
