TO the street and did not explode I'M
til after the archdukes car had
passed. When the explosion occurred
It resulted in the wounding of Colonel
MOriZzi, aide de camp to the arch
duke. and Count Boss Waldeck, who
occupied the car Immediately behind
that of the duke. Six persons among
the spectators were more or less Sc
riOusly injured.
the archduke Immediately ordered
his chauffeur to stop the car. He
made inquiries as to what had hap
pened and gave orders to have the
injured attended to. After this the
procession to the town hall was con-
tinued. Here the town councillors,
with the mayor at their head, were
awaiting the royal party to bid them
welcome.
After making the rounds of the
town hall, which occupied half an
hour, the archduke and the duchess
started for the garrison hospital to
visit Colonel Morizzi, the archduxe's
aide who was injured by the bomb
explosion and who had been taken to
the hospital in carriage after the
outrage.
AS the royal car reached the corner
of Rudolf street, man named Gavro
Prinzip, who was on the side walk,
fred two pistol shots in quick sue
cession at the archduke and the
duchess. The man, who was only
short distance from the car, was
gOOd marksman. The first shot struck
the Duchess of HOhenberg low down
On the right side, while the second
bullet hit the archduke in the neck
near the throat and pierced the jugu-
lar vein.
The duchess became unconscious
Immediately and fell across the knees
of her husband. The archduke lost
consciousness in a few seconds after
he was hit. The chauffeur put ON full
speed and rushed straight to the pal
ace where an army of surgeons vail
ly tried first aid to the injured.
Neither the archduke nor the
duchess gave any sign of life and the
only thing the head of the hospital
could do was to certify that both
were dead

a student and is nineteen years of
age. He studied for some time in Bel
grade. When Intercepted by the po-
lice he declared that he had intended
for a long time to kill some eminent
person from nationalist motives. He
denied that he had any accomplices.

turned to Sarajevo, a pronounced Ser

of Servia.
Both Cabrinvitch and the actual as
sassin, Prinzip, expressed themselves
to the police in the most cynical fash
ion about their crime.
