all sides, could see the queen leaning
over the crown prince and her younger
son, who also was bleeding from wounds
made by the assassins' bullets.
How many shots were fred no one
could say, but il was fusillade coming
from the right side of the street. The
effort of the Crown Prince, who was sit
ting opposite the King, to rise was pitt
full and without avail, for he just lift
ed himself sufficiently to pitch forward
and fall over the PROSTATE body Of his
father.
Queen Amelie, uttering scream that
could be heard by all who had not be-
come frenzied by the attack, threw her
self toward her sons, shielding their
bodies with her own. She frantieally
struck at the murderers with bouquet
of roses which she had been carrying,
but even in the face of this the men
fred again and agaiA.
AS he saw his father and his brother
fall Prince Manuel whipped out re-
volver and discharged it at the men,
but was himself struck on the right
arm by bullet from a earbine. A
footman in the carriage also was
wounded, and it was stated that a bull
let grazed the Queens shoulder, but
did not do her harm.
RIDDLE ASSASSINS..
Only mounted police accompanied the
carriage, as the King had refused mill
tary escort. The attack came from the
rear, for it was found. afterward that
the King had been shot in the back Of
the neck, and it was SO entirely unex-
pected that the murderers had emptied
their carbines and revolvers almost be-
fore the police knew what was going
on and had turned to fee into the
crowds that, now panic stricken, had
dropped back before their weapons.
Then the guard charged upon them,
pursuing them down the street and rid
ding three with bullets. Hundreds of
people joined in the pursuit and the
others of the band of assassins were
made prisoners.
The royal carriage had been by this
time driven into the quadrangle and
the gates of the arsenal were shut.
The grief of Queen Amelie and Prince
Manuel was heart breaking. Within a
few minutes the queen mother, the
Dowager Queen Marie Pia, the Duke of
Oporto, the kings brother, and the
ministers of state had assembled, all
weeping bitterly.
The news of the assassination spread
rapidly and thousands of people, be-
and terrified, poured into the
streets. Soon the troops and police oc-
,upied all the prominent places and
he people hurried to their homes and
oarricaded the doors and windows to
wait in fear the unknown future. The
trictest measures were taken by the of
ieers in charge of the troops to sup
'ress the first sign of disorder, but their
work was light There have been no
