loved Sunday night by another revo-
lutionary outrage in which General
Min. commander of the Seminovsky
nrard regiment, and who since his
promotion to be a general has been
attached as a personal adjutant to the
euite of the emperor, was killed on
tho station platform at Peterhof by a
Young woman, who fired five shots
into his body from an automatic re-
volver and then without resistance
submitted to arrest.
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists Immediately after the Moscow
revolt last December on account of
stern repressive measures practiced
nv a battalion under his command,
and especially for the wholesale xe-
cution of persons condemned by
drumhead courtmartial for being
caught with arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence in Peterhof and
had just greeted his wife and daugh-
ter on the platform when a young wo-
man-almost a girl-approached from
behind and fired two shots into his
back and then three more into his
body as it sank to the ground. Fur
Their shots were prevented by Nine.
Min, who threw herself upon the muir
deress and seized the hand which he'd
the pistol. The woman did not at
tempt to escape, but she cautioned
Nine. Min not to touch a handbag
which she had placed on the platform
before shooting General Min, adding
that it contained a bomb.
To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying
that she had executed the sentence of
the fighting organization of the social
revolutionists, but she refused to give
her name.
During the Moscow revolt, Min, who
then a colonel, commanded the
battalion of the Seminovsky
guard, which operated within the city
itself.
The death sentence had long hung
the head of General Min owing to
the disfavor into which he had fallen
of alleged harsh methods and
1t was General (then col
onel) Min, who commanded the Sem
Inovsky regiment when the people
shot down near the theological
institute in st. Petersburg on October
81, and who, it was said, wanted to set
buildings of che institute on fire ,
