HOW THE DEED WAS DONE
BresSf in the Crowd Cheering-The
King Slightly Attended

Monza. july 30.-Few additional de-
tails of me terrible tragedy are avail
able. 1t happened so quickly and un-
expectedly that the king. was lead al
most before the spectators realized
what had occurred. No special precau-
ions had been taken. Very few po-
lice We're in attendance and only a
small guard of soldiers was keeping
the way clear for the carriages. The
king, amid the sheerS of the crowd,
came out smiling, accompanied by his
aide-de-camp, General POnZio Bagila.
He had entered the carriage and was
just driving off, when three revolver
shots were fired in quick succession.
Some witnesses assert that Bressi was
seen just previously waving his hands
and cheering. The first shot wounded
the king in the neck; the second, the
fatal one, pierced his heart, and the
third broke h arm of the already dy-
ing sovereign.
The crowd was stunned by the I'M
expected scene but speedily a ush
was made towards the assassin. He
did not attempt to escape and was
roughly treated until the carabineers
formed a Gordon and secured him brom
the fury of the people.
An eye witness says that immediate
ly after the shots We're fired the king
fell back pressing his hand to his
heart. He was instantly supported by
General Ponzio Baglia, who told the
coachman to drive with all his speed
to the castle. After his eXclamation:
1T is nothing" the king did not utter
a sound. Blood gushed from his
mouth.
The assassin in reaching the guard
room of h carabineerS was in a pit
liable condition, his hands and arms be-
ing larcerated Inc bloody and his
clothes torn by the angry crowd. Re-

THE ASSASSIN
An Italian Weaver of Patterson, n. j.
Hatred of Monarchies His Motive

The ~assassins name is v~ariously
given as Angelo and Gaetno Bressi. He
was born in Prato, November 10, 1863,
and is a weaver by trade. He comes
from America where he had resided
at Patterson, n. ]. He says he had no
accomplices, and that he committed
the crime because of his hatred OF
monarchical institutions He reached
Monza on July 9th from Milan, where
he stayed a few days. q
Bressi is young, tall and swarthy. 1t
appears that he remained four days in
Prato and two days at Bologna after
which he came here.
The assassin is strictly guarded in
prison. He continues to preserve alb
solute Indifference and took his meals
to-day without any sign Of being af-
fected by his position A second re-
volver was found on he public stand
in the gymnastic grounds.
After the shooting OF King Humbert
here last night as soon as his majesty's
attendants could realize what had
happened he was placed in his carriage
and driven as rapidly as possible to
the palace. He was however, beyond
human aid.
It pea that when King Humbert
was wounded he exclaimed 1T is moth
ing" The royal carriage covered the
distance between the gymnastic So
ciety club house, where the crime was
committed, and the royal villa at full
speed, requiring but three minutes.
The king expired on the way and al
though placed on a bed was dead when
the doctors arrived.
When Queen Margheita arrived at the
villa it was still hoped that the king
would survive, and when the truth
was broken to her a heart-rending
scene ensued. Bursting n tears she
exclaimed:
cit is the greatest crime of the
century. Humbert was good and
faithful. No person could have loved
his people more. He was one who bore
ill-win to none.
The room where the embalming is
proceeding is already filled with flow
ers. The queen herself placed a
wreath on the bier and knelt and
prayed beside the body and, in spite
of the ~entreaties of the princes and
princesses she refused to quit the
death chamber, which is in charge of
COUNT Jurr, the late kings aide-de-
camp. The expression of the dead
kings face is tranquil and even smil-
ing. The corpse was blessed immedi-
ately after death. 1t will be en-
balmed.
