(Admen, March 2,—"A murder will be committed in Menge within a month similar to the Denver assassination, a.. where the Rev. Father Leo lieieriche shot down while administering holy cO% nunion in St, Elizabeth's Roman Catholie Church," asserted Chancellor E. M.' Dunne, of the Chicago archdiocese haat. ;night "I am positive that anaroh- lilte, anti -clericals, or whatever they 8411 themselves, have prepared lists of priests and clergy to be killed and stn eertafn that some Chicago man has been marked," he said. "I am the most logical man for assassination and al- though I have thousands of friends in the Italian colony, I also have many bit- ter enemies." Father Dunne said if he was not ebos• en to be murdered the other candidata would be, either Archbishop Quigley, the Very Rev, F. S. Angelbnci, of the Church of the Assumption, or the Rev. Father Francis Gerard, Provincial of the Church of Resurrectionists. Detectives 13ernacchi and Longobardi reported to Chancellor Dunne at the chancery office and told him they were instructed to serve as hie personal body- guard. A personal threat against the Very Rev. E. M. Dunne, D. D., chancellor of the Chicago archdiocese, was discovered to -day by the pollee. It wee contained in an announcement of the anti-elerical Giordano Bruno Club published on Feb- ruary 8th in the Tribune -Italiano. Trans- atlantiea, edited by Adessaadro Mastro Valeria. The agitation oithe anti -clericals has stirred both priests and laymen in Chi- cago and made them determined to take special precautions independent of the police, even to the extent of organiz- ing a special vigilance committee in ev- ery parish.

Thereis no suggestion that there was a repetition of the Belgrade plot aimed at the King's person, but that some of the desperate political lead- en were involved hi the series of abortive plots against Franco's life which preceded the murder, is be- lieved hero in well informed circles. Franco himself told a friend the day belere he left Lisbon (virtually upon the order of the Government), that it was impossible to reveal to the world what he had teemed of the in- trigues of the enemies of the King and himself and it was, therefore, better for hint to retire forever from the political arena.

The sig$als brought no responses and the doors of the barracks were found locked. The entire conspiraey fell through, it is said. because of the treason of a young lieutenant who, after ,the as- sassination of the King, confessed to his father, an officer, the role bo was to play- The young man claimed that he had been deceived; that he did not know regicide wan contem- plated having been led to suppose that only the life of the dictator was to be taken.
