Father Dillon persists in his desire
to be sent to states prison. and re-
sents intiinations that he may have
been insane when he shot Father
ONeill as he sat at the dinner table
Thursday evening. There was no in

would be asked by his attorney, nor
was 1t apparent what defense. if any,
would be offered in the Carthusian
fathers behalf.

witness to the priest house tragedy,
was still under a physicians care to-
day. recovering from the shock he ex-

warning fired four shots into the
parish pastors body. He is in charge
of the parish pending appointment
by Bishop Michael j. Gallagher of a
successor to Father O'Neill.
Father Dillon declared that he
wants to go at once to Jackson or

located), and insisted he is perfectly
sane. He remains calm and manifestS

appeared rnoroSe. Finally he burst out,
addressing Father ONeill. you'd like
10 get me out of here, wouldn't you?'
Father ONeill replied: You are

 Two Items Questioned
 Two items in the provisions for the support of the office of Attorney General were opposed but both were passed. One, for 5000 for carrying out the instructions of Senate Joint Resolution No. ,. was sought to be stricken by MT. Foster, who pointed out that the resolution had been vetoed by the Governor and had failed to pass the Senate over the veto.
 MT. Cole voting against the amend ment, declared there was doubt about the Governors right to pass on resolutions. Mir Daly slid that the Governor also had the right to veto any item in the appropriation bin and could strike the one under discussion if he so desired. He also opposed IllH tAAilAi RtA9 Ap-N'
 MT. Price sought to strike out an item for $1.OOO for payment 10 the Attorney General for compiling ses- sion laws, and other duties. He argued that such work should come properly under the duties of the of flee. This amendment was also de- feated.
 Pass Museum Item
 The items for the Alaska Museum and Historical Library were passed over until later. Owing to the un- eertainties over the bill for build. ing for the institution, no definite appropriation was fixed. It will prob ably be taken up today after the House acts on the Senate substitute for the Policy bill, the former pro viding for purchase of the Garside building.
 An effort to reduce the road ap- propriation from $240,0OO also failed. Mir. Wilson attempted to increase the allotment for constrnc- tion of shelter cabins from $l5,O00 to S25,000, the amendment being lost.
 Increase kettesons' Salary
 The salary of the Superintendent of the Pioneers Home was increased $50 per month by an item added on an amendment offered by Nil. Cole. He said the Superintendent salary of S20O per month was low ii com parison to that received by other Of fic7als and should be raised. Al item carrying S1 200 was approved.
 Items covering compensation oi employees for overtime, etc, oi the Legislature, which were covered in the measure to be expended under the direction of the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, were changed to be expended under the direction of the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate.
