MURDERED MAN

Assassination OF BObrikOif Was
Certain TO Occur.

MAN WHO FIRED THE FATAL
SHOT A FANATIC.
SWEDES HELD RESPONSIBLE

Helsiugfors, Finland, june 1.-THE
Russian flag at half-mast over the gov
ernors palace this morning proclaimed
TO the people of Helsingfors that Gen
eral Bobrizoh, governor general of
Finland. was dead of a bullet wound
inflicted by AN assassin. There was no
excitement in the city, and no attempt
at demonstration was made.
The father. mother, brother and Sis
tiers of SChaumauu. the assassin or BO-
brik0m. were arrested and subjected TO
searching examination, but late this
evening they were released and allowed
TO return to their country home.
How far the Swedish party is inn
plicated iu the killing Of the governor
general las not been established, put
the authorities are convinced that
SChaumanu, who committed suicide,
had acc0mplices. who found in the
br0Oding, half fanaucal student a ready
tool
Warming Of the intended assassina-
ton OF the governor general reached
the authorities last December, but B0-
brikoff, against the pleading of his Of
fetal family, declined an escort A few
months later this warning was repeat
ed. and B0brkOff thereafter was at
tended by a small guard and a number
of secret service men. except within
the state building. the guard having
requested permission TO furnish pro-
lection for the governor there.
Crowds Kept Moving
There was a considerable crowd of
curious persons outside the governor s
palace throughout the day, but there
was no manifestation, either of eNulta-
lion or of sorrow. The police kept the
crowd moving.
General BObrikOfs body win be con-
veyed 20 ST. Petersburg on June 15 for
burial
II appears that General Bobrikoff
never had a chance 20 survive. The
surgeons lad only the slenderest hope
from the operation which they per
formed, and they realized that death
was almost inevitable During tho
operation the pulse altogether ceased
more than once. The injuries inflicted
were SO terrible as to Indicate that the
bullet was of an explosive nature,
when the operation was completed
the patient reEaiued and maintained
consciousness for about three hours,
during which time he spoke a few
words 40 his wife and daughters. Then
at o'clock. he became unconscious
and remained So until he died.
The body repuses i'm the room in the
governors palace, atJred i'm military

Monday i'm the family vault at Sergivi,
