The decision Of the Court of Appeals in

the act was unconstitutional because 1t

The youth was quickly taken into cus

tice, sixteen years old. He said he
wanted to kill the prince for causing
the death OF 80 many men in South
Africa. The crowd attempted to lynch
man who was mistaken for the would
lie assassin. The prince, who was per-
fectly calm throughout the excitement
asked if the man who had done the
shooting had been arrested.
He 1t once appeared at the doorway
of the carriage and asked for particulars
OF the affair which were given him. The
princes only reply was 'Pauvre fou.
He made this remark without the
least apparent emotion. Then at the
princes request the train resumed its
Journey. The assailant was imme'
diately taken under a strong guard to
one of the offices. Shortly sftegward
magistrate arrived and proceeded to
ipterrogate him. Sipido appeared to
be respectable and intelligent. 10 re-
ply to the questions asked him he said :
