Tom 'Whispering' Smith: [narrating] All Denver was aroused and angry about the brutal attack on Father Antonio. The good padre had grown old serving our community. Through the years his unselfish aid to those in need had endeared him to perople of all faiths. In a way, his job and mine were alike, but out methods had to be different because he upheld the law of God and I defended the law of man.
