Denveh, April 10. The Domocratlo stato
convention held hero yesterday was an
antl-adminlstratlon convention through
out. Temporary Chalrmuu MoAllnoy, of
Pueblo, made a strong silver speech, a3
did Permonont Chairman Judgo Itoyal, of
tho sumo city. Tho latter, after making a
long nnd sincere plea In favor of tho whlto
metal at a ratio of 10 to 1, eulogized Sen
ators Yost and Cockroll, of Missouri, and
othor prominent sllvor advocates of the
east. When ho mentioned thouamo of ex
Congressman Bland tho delegatos ap
plauded and cheered.
Tho platform, which was unnnlmously
adopted, doals with no other question but
that of monetary lssuo.aud favors free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver nt
the ratio of 10 to 1,- without waiting for
tho aid or consent of any other nation,
such gold and sllvor to bo a lull legal ten

Hon. Charles S. Thomas, of Denver, who
was elected delegato-at-largo by acclama
tion, addressed tho convention, aud his re
marks regarding tho notion of Colorado's
delegation at tho Chicago convention may
b: considered significant, Inasmuch as ho
is, and has been for many years, a repre
sentative Demoorntlo leader. Ho censured
tho present administration In strong tonus
for their action In Issuing bonds, conclud
ing Ills address; "If, after tho effects of our
delegation at Chicago, silver Is not recog
nized, I will withdraw from tho conven
tion." As Mr. Thomas will likely load
the Colorado delegation, his utterance In
this respect Is taken meaningly.

speak In tho same theater In which tho
convention was transacting Its business,
and It was lmposslblo to proceed with

anxious to hoar Senator Tillman speak.
Thousands of persons wero unable to ob
tain admission to tho theater. Seldom hod
a political leader rccolved such an ovation
in Denver as did Senator Tillman. Tho
senator prefaced his speech with a history
of the Deiuocratla nnd Republican parties,
and soon drifted Into a sarcastic arraign

EVIDENCE OF EYE WITNESSES !
The Italian Charged With Killing Joe
Zukuskl and Some Witnesses Say He
Shot Mrs. Ztikuskl-Others Say1 One
of tho Missing Italians Shot Her.
Deputy Coroner Stanley and a jury com
posed of ox-Senator 1!. J. Monaghaii, fore
man; F. J. llrenuan, Jolm Scanlan, P. J.
Flaherty, Joseph Mauley and Ous Watilioipa
last night held an inquest in tho case of Joe
Zukuskl, olio of the victims of the street
fight that occuried on West Coal street .Mon
day night. F.lght witnesses wero examined
and siilllciont testimony was adduced to war
rant tho conclusion that the deceased died
from bullet wounds inflicted by Mike
Minolta, tho Italian Who was first arrested
after tho shooting, hut who claims that tho
affair took placo wliilo ho was at homo pro
curing Weapons. It is evident thai Minolta's
alibi is as weak as his logic. He says that
when lie was arrested lie had jmt left his
himic and win on his way to tho scene of
conllict with tlio Winchester liflo "to mako
peace."
htiney IUvltitus win among tho witnesses
last night and sworo that ho is the proprietor
of tlio saloon wliero tho men procured drinks,
but that tliero was no trouble of any kind in
his place. He did not see any stabbing, or
shooting, but heard shots. Tho trouble was
over when ho went to tlio street. Just before
the trouble tho four Italians were in his
place. Knch drank a glais of liecr, paid for
it and went out. Ho didn't see Joo Zukmkl
in the place at that tinio.
Anthony Sweeney was one of tho most Im
portant witnesses. Ho testified : "I saw
three Italians go up the street to tlio front of
tho saloon. From what they said they were
looking for Joo Zukuskl. Miuolla said his
brother and Zukuskl had had a fight during
the day. Miuolla said he would harm Zuku
skl. Tlio Italian stood in front of tho saloon
and called for Joe (Zukuki) to come out;
that ho would butcher linn. Joo was in the
saloon. Jlinella opened tlio saloon door and
tallied for Joo to come. Tho Italian opened
the saloon door twice again and culled fur
Joo to como outbidding that ho would butcher
him. Joo didn't leave the saloon. After
standing outside a while the three Italians
walked down Coal street, past Joo's house.
They stood there. Joo left tho saloon and
walked towards his house. Ho wasquietand
didn't appear to bo looking for fight. He
stood in front of his house. His mother
grabbed him and tried to get him to go into
tho house. He wouldn't gu. Joo Lahau
owski was with him. Two other Italians,
l'etro Macoui being ouo of them, walked
down tho street toward tho house. Mucoid
was cither pushed or ho slipped. I cannot
tell positively, hut stepped into tho gutter
when ho reached the two Joes. Ho bumped
against JooZukuskiand almost fell. Then tho
three Italians ran up from below aud
the fight started. Minella stabbed Joe
Ztikuski in tho hack. Then ho stepped back
a few feet from tlio crowd and started to
shoot witli a revolver. Minella also fired at
Mrs. Zukuskl 2 or 3 times. Neither Joo nor
his mother fell when they were shot. Minella
turned deliberately after shooting Joo in tho
hack nnd shot at Joo's mother. He was not
12 feet from cither of them. Mrs. Zukuskl
had no weapon. Minella was the man who
did tho shooting. Tho other Italians wero in
tho fight, hut I couldn't say what shooting or
cutting thoy did, Tho Lithuanians did no
shooting and had no weapons during tlio
fight.
James Hupert sworo that Petro Meco
stabbed the two Joes in the hack and Mlko
Minella also stabbed, Zukuskl in tlio back ;
then all tho Italians jumped on Zukuskij
then tho youngest of tho Italians, who Is
missing, drew a revolver and bbot Mrs.
Zukuskl. Anthony Zukuskl, Joo's brother,
was in the street aud shot at tlio Italians. I
saw Minella point a revolver towards Mrs.
Zukuskl, but didn't see him shoot her.
Minella shot Joe Zukuski. Minella went
home after tho fight and came back with a
gun, hut didn't use it. Amour caught him
Joseph Walter, u Lithuanian boy 12 years
old, says ho stood in tho tuiddlo of the street
and out a few feet away from tho men wheu
they wero fighting. Ho saw Potro JIaconis
shoot Mrs. Zukuski. Maconis Is the man
who was shot through tho left thigh and said
ho had nothing to do with tho fight. Walter
says that whilo Joo Zukuski was lying in tho
gutter Maconis shot at Mrs. Zukuski. Walters
also testified that ho saw Joo Labanowskl hit
JIaconis in tho back with a rock nnd then
run up an alley, Maconis followed aud shot
Luliauowski in tho hack. Tlio boy also said
he saw Anthony Zukuskl shoot at the crowd
ofItaliaus. Joo Zukuskl was down in the
gutter at that time. Minella shot Joe
Zukuski and four of tho Italians shot at him.
Tho boy said he didn't seo any knife used at
all.
James C'ooney sworo that tho Italians went
into the saloon aud drank beer. Joo Zukuski
was thoro. Thore was no quarrel. A woman
called Joo into a luck room aud told lilin
something. As lie came back ho had a little
penknife in his hand. After drinking their
beer tlio Italians went out, Later Menilla
called for Joe to como out of tho saloon,
adding that he would "murder him liko a
butcher and shoot him like a dog." In front
of Joo's house an Italian was pushed into tho
gutter. Can't toll how. Joo labanowskl
hit tho Italian, who was retro Maconl, on
tho head. Tho othor Italians caino up. They
got Joo Zukuski down and kicked him.
Mrs. Zukuskl camo out and tho shooting
started. I saw Anthony Zukuski with a
revolver, but didn't seo him shoot. I couldn't
say which of tho Italians shot. Joe Zukuski
had drink in him, hut I couldn't say about
tho Italians.
Dr. W. N, Stein sworo to the autopsy and
stated that death was caused by shock
brought on by tlio bullet woutid.
The jury rendered the following verdict:
"That tho said Joseph Zukuskl's death was
caused by a gun shot wound at tho 1 anos of
.uiko -iimeim.
