KNIFE OF AN ASSASSIN.
Empress Of Austria tho Victim Of al
italian Anarchist.

Italian Anarchist
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. l3.-The
empress Of Austria was assassinated
near the Hotel Beaurivage this after
noon by an anarchist, who was arrested.
1t appears that her majesty was
walking from her hotel to the landing
place OF the steamer at about o'clock,
when an Italian anarchist suddenly ap-
pcared and stabbed her to the heart.
The empress fell, and was carried 60

The etretcher upon which the en-
press was carried to the hotel was hast
lily improviscd with cars and sail cloth.
Doctors and priests were Immediately
summoned, and telegram was sent to
Emperor Frarcis Joseph.
All efforts to revive her majesty
were unavailing, and she expired at 8
O'Clock. The medical examination
shows that the assassin must have used
a small triangular file. After striking
the blow he ran along the Rue Des
Alpes, with the evident intention oI
entering the square Los Alpes, but be-
fore reaching it he was seized by two
cabmen, who had witnessed the crime.
They handed him over to boatman
and gendarme, who conveyed him to
the police station.
The prisoner made no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing II did it," and "She must be
dead"
AT the police station he declared that
he was starving anarchist, with nc
hatred for the poor, but only for the
rich" I"
Later, when taken TO the courthouse
and interrogated by magistrate in the
presence OF three members Of the local
government and the police officials, he
pretended not to know French and re.
fused to answer questions. The police,
on searching him. found document
showing his name to be Luigi Loa-
chini, born in Paris in 1874, and an
Italian soldier.
A great crowd quickly assembled
around the Hotel Beaurivage, where
the officials proceeded after interrogat.
ing the prisoner. The police searched
the scene Of the crime for the weapon,
and the accom- plices of the assassin.
1t appears that a boatman motto d

The excitement increased, and many

The empress wound was just over
the left breast. There was hardly any
bleeding. A priest was secured in time
to administer the extreme unotion.
