high school. His car had Just restart-
ed after 4 brief pause for an inspection
Of the building, when Gabrinovic
hurled the bomb. This was SO sue
cessfully warded OF by the archduke
that 1t fell directly beneath the follow

Archduke Francis Ferdinand stopped
his car and. after making inquiries as
to their injuries and lending what aid
he could, continued his journey to the
town hall.
There the bur9omaster began the
customary address, but the archduke
sharply interrupted and snapped out:
Herr Burgomaster. we have come
here to pay you visit and bombs
have been thrown at US. This is alto
gether an amazing indignity."
After . pause, the archduke said:
"Now you may speak"
On leaving the hall, the archduke
and his wife announced their intention
Of visiting the wounded members Of
their suite at the hospital on their way
back to the palace. Theye were actu-
ally bound on their mission Of mercy,
when at the corner Of Rudolf strasse
and Franz Josef strasse, Prinxip
opened fire.
A bullet struck the archduke in the
face. The duchess was wounded in
the abdomen and another struck her
In the throat, severing an artery. She
fell unconscious across her husbands
knee. At the same moment the arch
duke sank to the floor Of the car.
The assassins were interrogated by
the police and both seemed to glory in
their exploit. Prinxip said he had
studied for time at Belgrade. He de-
clared he had long intended to kill
some eminent person from nationalist
motives. He was awaiting the arch
duke at q point where he knew the
automobile would slacken speed, turn
ing into Franz Josef strasse. The pres.
encs of the duchess in the car caused
him to hesitate. but only for a mo-
ment. Then his nerve returned and
he smptied his pistol at the imperial
pair. He denied that he had any &C.
completes.
Prinxip b 1s years old, Nedelio Cab
rinovics Is q. He told the police he
had obtained the bomb from anar-
chists at Belgrade. whose names he
did not know. He denied also that
he had accomplices and treated the
tragedy with cynical Indifference.
After his unsuccessful attempt to
blow up the imperial visitors, Gabrino-
vics spfang into the river Miljachka,
In an effort to escape, but witnesses
OF bis crime plunged after him and
seixed him.
