Prinzip is eighteen years of age
Nedeljo Gabrinovics is twenty-one. He
told the police he had obtained the
bomb from anarchists at Belgrade
whose names he did not know. He de
MED also that be had accomplices, and
treated the tragedy with cynical indif
ference.
Warmed Against Visit.
The assassination took place during
the first official visit of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand to Bosnia. Before
his departure from Vienna on Wednes-
day M. Jovanovitch, the Servian min
lister to Austria-Hungary, called on the
archduke and expressed doubts as to
the wisdom of his journey.
The minister said the country was in
a most turbulent condition and the
Servian part OF the population might
organize a hostile demonstration. He
added that even if the archduke went
himself he ought not to take his wife,
as Bosnia was no place for women in
its present condition.
AS a matter of fact, the people of
Sarayevo displayed Servian flags when
the announcement was made of the
proposed visit of the archduke and
duchess and the local authorities had
difHarIltx- in r0nnnuincr than hn-
fore the state entry of the royal party.
Anger Turns to Sorrow.
The murder, however changed this
feeling to one Of sorrow and regret
and ti-Servian demonstrations began.
The crowds knelt in the streets and
sang the national anthem.
Throughout the day weeping women
were to be seen in groups, while great
crowds surrounded the spots where
the bomb exploded and where the
fatal shots were fired.
The president has sent message to
the emperor expressing the grief and
horror of the whole population at the
ruthless crime and assuring his
majesty of the peoples unalterable de
votion to the ruling house.
Places Blame on Servians.
The mayor of Sarayevo issued a
proclamation TO the residents Of the
city denouncing the crime and declar-
ing that by the confessions of the as
sassins 1t was shown beyond all doubt
that the bomb thrown at the arch
dukes car came from Belgrade.
There was a special session of
mourning of the Bosnian diet this aft
ernoon. Four national members Of
Servian nationality who attended
were ostentatiously dressed in light
clothes.
The officials of Sarayevo make the
excuse for their lack Of precautions
to prevent such tragedy by saying
that they had not received sufficient
notice that the VISIT of the archduke
WIS of an official character, and there
fore they had not taken the same care
as when the Emperor Francis Joseph
visited the place.
Spared Nothing, Says Emperor.
Vienna, June 29.-When news of
the assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand was impaired TO Emperor
Francis Joseph, he exclaimed:
Terrible! Terrible! l am spared
nothing"
Great fear is felt Of the effect which
the assassination of his nephew and
heir may have on the health of the
aged emperor For several months
the emperor's condition has been any
thing but reassuring, and, although
o,jeying his physicians in many WAYS,
he has consistently refused their nd.
vice to seeh warmer climate for
time.
