weapons Used by Assassins Against
Royal Personaqes.

very Few people are aware that as
soon as the trial of an assassin of
royalty is concluded the weapon with
which he accomplished his crime is
carefully destroyed so that no trace Of
1t remains.
The reason of this is twofold-t1rs

some time or other the weapons used
IN royal tragedy may be exhibited to
the public in some museum or show,

eternity is fraught with peril to their
descendants.

weapons is II curious one. The wooden
portions. such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles of poinnrds. are burned.

dastardly crime proved to be of such
exquisite temper and hardness that it
