sion, at which they attempted to force
an entrance to the house.

bomb, which exploded, destroying the
ante-room, the adjoining guard room,

private room, was not injured. The
principal loss of life occurred in the
ante-room.

to the suite of the emperor, was killed
on the station platform at Peterhof by

into his body from an automatic re-

court-martial for being caught with
arms in their hands.
