Gen. Min Assassinated.
Saturdays unsuccessful attempt on
the life of Premier Stolypin with its
sickening, useless slaughter of 80 per-
sons, was followed Sunday night by
another revolutionary outrage in
which Gen. Min, commander of the
Seminovsky guard regiment and who
since his promotion to be general has
been attached as a personal adjunct
to the suite of the emperor, was killed
on the station platform at Peterhof
by young woman, who fired five
shots into his body from an automatic
revolver and then, without resistance
submitted to arrest. The capture of
the girl was effected by Gen. Minis
wife, who held her until the arrival of
an officer.
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of Gen. Min, who was
condemned to death by the terrorists
Immediately after the. Moscow revolt
last December on account OF stern
repression practically By battalion
under his command and especially for
the wholesale execution of persons
condemned by drum-head court-mar-
tial for being caught with arms in
their hands.
Shot in Back.
Gen. Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhof and had
just greeted his wife and daughter on
the platform when young woman
almost a girl-approached from be-
hind and fired two shots into his back
and then three more into his body as
it sank to the ground. Further shots
were prevented by Madame 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 Madame 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 fight
ing organization of the social revolu-
tionists, but she refused to give her
name.
