having the bomb concealed under his
military cloak. Once inside the room
he hurled it.

the reception room.
Dropped in Scufde?
Still another version says that the con-
spirators drove up to the premier's resi-
dence after the list of visitors had been
closed. The servant refused them ad-
mission, at which they attempted to
force an entry to the house. A strug--
gle ensued 1T the entrance to the ante
room, during the course of which the
terrorist disguised as gendarme
dropped a bomb, which exploded, de-
stroyng the ante-room, the adjoining
guardroom, part of the reception room,
and also the balcony of the first floor.
