rying a bomb toward Gov. Kaulbar's palace
when she dropped It and 1t exploded, in
juring only herself.
Gen. Min was returning from the capital
to his summer residence at Peterhof and
had just greeted his wife and daughter on
the platform when a young woman-almost
girl-approached from behind and fired
two shots into his back and then three
more into his body as It sank to the ground,
killing him instantly. Further shots were
prevented by Nine Min, who threw herself
upon the murderess and seized the hand
which held the pistol. The woman did not
attempt to escape, but she cautioned Nine.
Min not to touch a handbag which she had
placed on the platform before shooting the
general, explaining that It contained
bomb. To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying she had
executed the sentence of the fighting or
ganization OF the social revolutionists, but
she refused to give her name.
By a remarkable mischance Gen. Min only
last week, dIteT the conclusion OF the ma.
neuvers at Krasnoye-Selo, dismissed the
bodyguard which had accompanied him
since the first attempt was made on his life,
saying that the ordinary police Of Peterhof
would be sufficient to guard him and his
villa there.

the life of Gen. Min, who was condemned
to death by the terrorists Immediately after
