BECAUSE HE HAD NO MOTIVE Two Italian Doctors Say Alia Must Be Insane. DENVER, March 11. Tlie hearing of evidence in the trial of Giuseppe Alia, charged with the murder of Father Francis- Leo Heinrichs at the altar in St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, on the morning of February 23 last, was con tinued this afternoon. The prisoner him self was not placed upon the stand, and the defense called only two witnesses, Or. Joseph Cuneo, ex-Itallan Consul in Denver, and Dr. Baron Gustavo Tosti, the present local Italian Consul. Both testified as physicians, although Dr. Cuneo acknowledged he was not an expert on mental diseases. He testified that he had not had time, to form an opinion on the sanity of- the prisoner, while Dr. Tosti said he believed .Alia in sane from the simple fact that he - had killed his victim without a motive.. No evidence that Alia was an anar chist or that he had ever been a member of any sort of society or even that he had been a reader of anarchist litera ture, has been adduced during the- trial. Anticipating a plea of insanity. District Attorney Stldger has taken the unusual course of attempting: to establish the defendant's sanity before it had been denied. Four physicians testified posi tively that Alia Is absolutely sane, and three more testified to the same effect today. i Tomorrow morning the attorneys on both sides will make brief arguments and the Judge will deliver his instruc tions.

KEY CONTRASTS NAT 1 NAVES American Ships More Over ' draft Than British, Says Commander. OTHER DEFECTS OF FLEET United States Only Country That Does Not Isolate Handling Room From Guns, Says ' ' the Wi t-ness . WASHINGTON, March U. Commander A. L. Key, ex-Naval Aide to the Presi dent, resumed' his testimony before the Senate 'Naval Affairs Committee today. He proceeded to compare American ships constructed since 1899 with the British ships built in the same period. His dia grams tended to show that American ves sels are over-draft to a- greater degree than the English ships. 'He agreed with Admiral Remey and Captain "Win slow that ships should carry full bunkers of coal, when they go into action, and he said not to do so would be '.'preposter ous. His observations in regard to the draft of vessels were that the direction of the Walker Board tf May 18. 1896. "that a battleship's 'normal draft- should be hern fighting draft, not her maximum draft, with full stores on board," had been dis regarded by the naval constructor. Heavy Seas Quiet Guns, The witness explained in great detail his reasons for believing that it was not necessary to extend the armor belt more than five feet below the "actual water line." He criticized a number of the American ships on the ground that ttie free board was insufficient in heavy seas, the effect being that the gun decks were so low that the big guns could not be fired in such seas. He found flaws -also In the turrets and ammunition hoists. Com mander Key said that the American Navy is the only one in the world that has hung onto the type of hoist which does not isolate the handling-room from the guns. Mr. Tillman was anxious to know who was responsible for this fact and asked how long the American Navy has per sisted in keeping this type. ; , Panger Known. Six Years. "Six years Bince the dangers of this hoist became positively known," said the witness. "In that time it has cost 15 lives." "Six years' repeated Mr. " Tillman. "That is one year less than Roosevelt has been President and he came from the Navy Department and is supposed to know about these faults." Commander Key said that the 15l lives were "unnecessarily sacrificed, but that the Chief of Ordnance has now asked for more than $2,000,000 in order to correct the defects in the hoists. In conclusion, the Commander paid a great tribute to the American Navy and especially the gunnery. "It Is a fine thing,' he said, "that a young man, green from .a farm in the West, can be taken on a ship now and drilled so that in thre-s months he can make a hit with one of the big guns every 40 seconds."
