Three Men Placed in the Dock at Sofia on
Charge of Murder,
LETTER OF THE LATE PREMIER is READ
Other Political Agitntors Implicated
in II Plot Which Had Dccn In

IL Was Carried Out.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Dec. 22.--The trial Of
the persons accused Of the murder of eX-
Premier Stambouloff, who was stabbed in
the streets OF this city in July, 1895, re-
sulting in his death on July Is, was formally
opened in the court house, before a mixed
tribunal, yesterday, and was continued to-
day.
The accused are: Boni Georgief, aged "a,
a former servant of Major Panitza; Atzoif, a
Macedonian, aged 33, the coachman who
drove Stambouloff from the Union club to
the scene of the crime; Naumm Tuffeket-
chief, an employe in the building depart
ment Of the ministry of public works here
and brother of Dimitri Tuffeketchieff, who
died in prison, as is asserted, as result OF
tortures inflicted by the doctor of the late
prime minister. Dimitri Tuffeketchief was
accused of completely in the murder of Nj.
Beltzcheffe, the minister of finance, who
was assassinated in the street in the
presence of NJ. Stambouloff Qor whom he
was mistaken), on March 2S 1891. The
court house was strongly guarded by
gendarmes and the general public was eX-
cluded from the building.
a letter, written by the murdered states
man to a friend some three months before
MS uedtn, was redQ Dy tne JuuSe dlnlu
profound silence.
The letter was dated Sofia March 16,
1895. and gave in minute detail the plot
for Stambouloff's murder. This informa-
tion, the letter asserted, came from one
Seachariew, who was in close touch with
ten or fifteen assassins, who had Sworn to
free the country from the tyrant, Stam-
bouloff." The letter declared that the as
sassins expected clemency from the prince
after a short Imprisonment, and that plot
was also afoot for the murder of the prince
himself. 1t duplicates a number of other
political agitators besides those now on
trial. The letter concludes: These state
ments | have written in order that 1t may
be known that the plan of the murderers
was known to me, and that sooner or later,
my friends and my children may demand
their punishment NJ. STAMBOULOtF.'
The murder of NJ. Stambouloff was brutal
in the extreme. He was stabbed shot,
hacked and beaten in a most terrible man
ner by his assailants, who stopped his
carriage while he was returning home. dur
ing the evening of July Is, from luncheon
at the Union club, accompanied by a
colleague, NJ. Petcoff. Both of the ex-
premier's hands were chopped one wrist
was almost severed from the arm; he was
repeatedly stabbed about the body and shot
in the head. After he fell. the assassins
continued stabbing and hacking him until
compelled to run away. The murder is
said to have been committed within sight OF
a number OF gendarmes, who ran away with
the murderers and made no attempts to
catch them. Both hands were amputated
previous to his death.
