under his command and especially for
the wholesale execution of persons

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 a young woman
almost 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 handbag which she had placed
on the platform before shooting the
general, explaining that it contained
a 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.
