Il
Nolken, chief of police Of Warsaw,
who was injured by the explosion OF
of n bomb yesterday. owes his life to
the bad aim of his assailant VINO
threw the bomb behind instead of un-
derneath the carriage. The body OF
Won Nolken was full of innumerable
splnters of the bomb. His assailant
has not yet been arrested. The man
who previously threw a bomb into the
police station at Praga, SUBURBAN
town of Warsaw, injuring six police
men is believed to be dying. He re-
fused to reveal his identity declaring
himself to be a socialist However, ne
has been identified as a locksmith
named Stephen Okrjea, aged Is, res
ident of the Novominsk district The
greatest excitement prevails thruout
the city.
1t was in pursuance of an elaborate
conspiracy of the revolutionists to as
sassinate Baron Won Nolken, the chief
of police of Warsaw, that the bombs

one and six policemen were wounded
by the other. The man who threw
the bomb that manned the baron es-
capped after shooting and killing the
last policeman who tried to capture
him. The plotter whose deadly missile
injured the six patrolmen was cap
tured after he had shot another pa
trolmen and himself been wounded.
The first bomb was thrown into the
midst of a squad of policemen who
had assembled in a room in the police
station ait Praga, a large suburb of
Warsaw, for receiving orders before
goifsg On 1uty. News os this explo-
sion was sent to Baron Won Nolken,
who started toward the scene in a car
riage by the only road he could take.
AS he was passing the castle, where
resides the new governor general, M.
Maximovitch, the second bomb was
hurled straight at him. 1t exploded
and the baron received the full charge
of the bomb.
Meanwhile the police official accom-
panying Baron Won Nolken saw the
bombthrower fleeing and pursued and
caught up with him, but the assassin
proved CHG SlIOu5Sl louC AAAA@oSAh
away.
Another policeman fired twice at the
fugitive, but without result. Half an
hour later a man was found eead in
Sowia street, whom the = lice at first
believed to be the bomE.nrower. The
theory was that the man had shot
himself to escape arrest. Later 1T de-
veloped that the man found dead was
a plainclothes policeman who had been
pursuing Baron Won Nolkenis assail-
ant. The police believe that the lat
ter turned on the policeman and shot
him dead.
According to the theory of the police
the revolutionists calculated on Baron
Won NoEken going to Praga on learning
Of the explosion Of the bomb at the
police station and knew he must pass
the castle, that being the only road by
which he could reach the only bridge
across the Vistula.
Baron Won Nolken is very unpopu-
lar. He is hated by the masses of the
Polish population, who held him re-
sponsible for the sanguinary suppress
sion of the local disturbances at the
end of january. He has been here only
year, having come from st. Peters,
burg where he was chief of the
mounted division of the police.
