Grecian Ruler Is Shot Down by
Demented Man.
CRIME OCCURS At SALONIKI
While Walking Along the Street King
George Is Fired on From sehino
and Dies Almost instantly.

Sa1oniki. March fixing George or
Greece was assassinated While walk
ing In the streets of Salonlkl. Inc
assassin was a Greek of low mental
tyne. who gave his name as Alexo
Schinas. He shot the king through
the heart.
The king was shot while returning
with his equerry from a walk to the
White Tower. He was in happy
and contented mood and, as he
strolled. talked of the war, of the state
of the Greek arms, of the capture OF
Janina and Salonik and Of this hitting
climax to his fifty years reign.
A shot suddenly rang out from De-
hind. Colonel Francouds, the KING S
aide. seized the hand of the assassin.
which was already poised for a second
shot. Covering his royal master with
his body he seized the assassin by
the throat and held him fast until
soldiers ran to his assistance.
.
Judgment King George had sunk TO
the earth. He was lifted into car
rage and, with his head resting on
his arm. continued to breathe for
short time. But before the hospital
was reached life was extinct.
The bullet, which was fired at dis
lance of two PAGES, entered the back
below the shoulder blade. It's point
of exit was below the stomach. There
was a severe hemorrhage. The jeWeled
cross which the king always wore
was covered with blood.
Assassin a Demented Greek.
The assassin is a Greek of feeble in
tellect. He says he was driven to
desperation by sickness and want. The
crime, therefore, appears to be with
out motive.
Prince Nicholas, the kings third
son, and other officers hurried to the
hospital Arriving first Prince Nicho-
las summoned the officers and, speak
ing in a voice choked with sobs, said:
nounce to you the death of our beloved
king and invite you to swear fidelity
to your new sovereign, Constantine"
Crown Prince Constantine, who sue
ceeds King George, is at present at
Janina. He is expected here with all
possible speed.
Schinas maintained a perfectly i'm
passable demeanOr, which was sug-
gestiye of his being irresponsible for
his actions.
Precautions We're at once taken
throughout the city and perfect order
is being maintained. Mourning EN-
blemS are displayed everywhere.
