TRAGEDY WITH
OUT A PARALLEL
MURDER OF CATHOLIC
PRIEST HAS NO EQUAL,
Crime Stands Out as Most Fearful In
Criminal Records OF the World
Pcrperator Gives Right Name as
Guisscppe Aiio-Was Excluded
From Church In Italy for Teaching
Anarchy--wife Left Him and He
blamed the Church---Church RE-
dedicated.

Denver, Feb. 25.--There Is no rec
ord In the 20 centuries of history of
the Catholic church, members of It's
priesthood In this city declare. of a
tragedy to parallel that of the killing
of Father Leo Heinrlchs while ad-
minlsterlng the sacrament to Guis-
seppe Guarnacio at the altar of st.
Elizabeth's church Sunday morning.
Never before. has servant of this
church been summoned from the per-
formance OF his duties In so tragic a
manner. This chime will stand out as
one of the most fearful in criminal
records of the world, and It's perpetra-
ton probably will result in~the elevat-
ing of Father Leo to the position OF
martyr and lead to his canonization
as one of the saints OF the church in
whose service he fell while perform
Ing his duty.
st. Elixabeth's Catholic church,
desecrated by the murder OF Father
Leo. was rededicated with solemn
ceremony yesterday afternoon. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
Percy Walter Phillips, chancellor of
the diocese, having been authorized
In telegram from Bishop Matz, who
Is now in Los Angeles The blessing
today will be followed by reconsecra-
tion services upon the return of the
bishop to the city.
II appeared from statements made
by the murderer In answer to Ques-
tions that when living in Italy he was
expelled from the church In conse-
quence OF his anarchistic teachings
and his wife then left him. Her de-
sertlon, seems, further enraged him
against the church and priests, and
when he heard the church bells ring
ing Sunday morning he determined to
so out and kill one priest, at least,
and more il he could accomplish his
murderous design.
The murderer said yesterday that
Giuseppe Alio was his right name and
that he was born In the city Of Ava
lon, Sicily, August 10, 1867. He said
he went to Buenos Ayres in 1906 and
the revolver with which he killed
Father Leo was purchased there. He
arrived in New York city May %, 1907
and left for Kansas the following
August, After working 4S days as q
section hand In Ellis, Kan, he came
to, Denver November last, Since
then he had worked but little.

''The intimation in Senator FuIton's

ton was given to federal officials in

they were making about two years
