cries to the officers Of the household for
help were scarcely audible. Col Djorlekly,
of his suite, who was badly injured by the
second explosion, which had shattered his
sleigh, raised the Emperor from the ground
and with the aid of the Cossacks and Off
GERS lifted him into the sleigh and conveyed
him to the Winter Palace. All this did not
occupy three minutes. AS the prisoner was
thrown into carriage and driven off under
strong guard, Colonel Djorlekly's sleigh
containing the wounded Emperor and two
or three attendants drove rapidly through
the streets to the Winter Palace, where q
mounted messenger had previously arrived
with the news. BY this time the story was
known throughout the neighborhood of the
Palace, and as the sleigh drove through the
main gate the people stood by uncovered,

government buildings were put under close
guard. Meanwhile the Cossacks and police
had charged upon knot of people from
which the two bombs were thrown. Several

first shell. This was confirmed by others
who saw him hurting it. The man fought
desperately, and as they closed upon him he
drew a revolver, intending to shoot the
Grand Duke Michael, but his hand was
struck up and in an instant he was thrown
down and securely pinoned.
