tol against General TrepOffs breast
and pulled the trigger, the weapon,
however. failing to discharge.
-Four days later a man armed with
a dagger tried to force his way to the
presence of General TrepOff with the
avOwed purpose of killing him. The
wOuld-be assassin was OVeTpOwered
and arrested Within two days after
this incident. while Trepoff was riding
in his carriage, a young man, supposed
to be rusticated student, sprang up
