SLAYER OF PASTOR
RESENTS INTIMATION
THAT HE IS INSANE
Priest Insists That He
Wants to Go to Prison
for Deed.

Kalamazoo. Mich, April 14.-Rey
Father Charles Dillon, who is held
for the shooting to death of his su.
perior, Rev. Father Henry O'Neill
parish priest of st. Augustine's Cath.
Ollie Church. will be arraigned in cir
cult court here Monday.
Postponement was granted late
yesterday by Judge George V. Wei
mer upon request of William Fitz-
gerald. attorney for Father Dillon,
after the priest had waived examina-
ton in justice court.
Father Dillon persists in his de-
sire to be sent to the state prison,
and resents intimations that he may
have been insane when he shot Faith
er O'Neill as he sat at the dinner
table Thursday evening.
There was no indication today that
sanity inquiry would be asked by
his attorney, nor was it apparent
what defense, If any, would be Of
fered in the Carthusian Fathers be-
half.
Father John G. Mccullough, an
eyewitness to the priest house trag-
edy, was still under physicians
care today, recovering from the shock
he experienced when Father Dillon
entered the dining room and without
warning fired four shots into the
parish pastors body.
He is in charge of the parish pend
ing appointment by Bishop Michael
J. Gallagher of successor to Father
O'Neill.

Of crime.
Jury Was Convinced.
Finger prints are invaluable, not
only for the detection Of the criminal
but for the protection of the inno-
cent. Some time ago, bandit held
I'D a train in the West. The only
clue to the identity of the bandit was
a small vial, upon which the finger
prints of the fugitive were detected,
and the bandit was apprehended.
when the case came to trial, at
torneys for the defendant objected 10
the mute testimony offered by the fin
ger prints on the vial on the grounds
that the evidence was too slight upon
which to convict a man. A finger
print expert took clean sheet of pa
pcr and requested members of the jury,
in his absence, to place their thumbs
for few seconds on the paper. After
he had returned TO the court room,
he was able to identify each thumb
print left by the natural oil in the
skin.
In another case in Minnesota, a
man was found murdered. The finger
prints on the murdered mans collar
were found TO tally exactly with those
of a criminal whom the police records
showed to be dead. The real criminal
was later apprehended.
1T was only through the finger
prints of one of the Denver mint ban
dts that the identity of the men,
bers of the gang was established.

SPEAK AT SPRINGS
Peoples Ticket Candidates to Have
Saturday Night Meeting.

Several good speakers in addition
to the five candidates have been lined
up for the rally to be held by the
Peoples Ticket at San Pedro Springs
at s o'clock Saturday night. Among
those announced Saturday morning
are Joseph F. Ryan, A. J. Bell and
c. M. Chambers. Others are expected
to be added to the list later in the
day, however. Sheriff John w. Tobin,
Ray Lambert, Paul Steffler, Frank
Bushick and Phil Wright, the five
candidates, will make brief speeches,
outlining their plans for the city for
the next two years.
Following the two rousing meetings
OF Thursday and Friday nights, the
first at the Grand Opera House and
the second a precinct meeting at
Lamm's Gin Friday, the candidates
expect the San Pedro Springs meet
ing to be one of the largest yet held.
Precinct meetings also will probably
be held every night during the COM
ing week, although the fact that the
Fiesta will be in full swing is ex-
pected TO cut the attendance down con-
siderably.

WON'T TAKE STRIKERS
Frisoo-I.-G. n. Merger Does Not Con.
tain Provisions for Unemployment.

Austin, Tex, April 14.-The bill
authorizing the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco to purchase and operate five
Texas railroads, including the Interna-
tional-Grest Northern does not con-
tain any provisions that striking shop
men shall be re-employed. T. A. Ham
ilton, president of the I.-G. N, says
that not only are there no provisions
in the bill to that effect. but that his
road has no intention of disturbing the
men now employed.
Reports of what the bill contained
were due to a misunderstanding of the
outcome of preliminary negotiations
when the bill was pending and oppo-
nents sought an agreement that the
striking shopmen be given preference
in employment. When the opponents
changed their attitude they issued the
following statement:
upon the statement of T. A. Ham.
ilton Of the International-Creat North
ern. that, in the filling of vacancies
in the shops Of the internationally Great
Northern there would not only be nc
discrimination against former striking
employees, but that preference would
hereafter be given to members of the
Federated Shop Crafts, based upor
experience and superior qualification

resentatives who have heretofore beer
opposing the proposed merger of the
International-Great Northern and Ger.
