their way into the palace, shooting
down the aide de camp on duty, Colo

another version, the King shot Namo-
vics because he opened the gate to his
assailants, thereby creating a suspicion
of his cOnniyance.

carnage to begin and the troops sur
rounded the ministerial residences at
the same time as they moved on
the palace.

King had been killed.

tanned numerous wounds.

ports of the tragedy with all sorts of
statements. According to one of them,
