until 1912. when Alexander Kara
georgevitch. u son OF BLACK George"
was elected prince. mainly throue h
the influence of Russia. But he came
to brief in his relations with Russia
and Turkey. and WAS driven out OF
the country by his rchillous SUBJ
jects who rcinstated the Obrenovitch
family. Michael. a son of Milosh
became King, only to be murdered at
the instigation OF the cXilcd AlcXnn-
der karaseorGevitch on June 10.
1865 Alexander failed in his at
temp; to seize the crown. and was
forcv'r banishcd. The Obrcnovitch
youth, Milan. who succeeded to the
throne. was so notorious for his cN-
c@sscs that lie was soon cxiled to
Paris.
His son, Alexander Obrenovitch. be-
came kine--and brought his proiii-
gate father back to Belgrade us
commandment of the army,
Meanwhile he astoundcd Europe by
his infatuation for Dragn, the di-
rorced wife OF Colonel Maschin,
who was lady-in waiting to his
mother. Queen Natalie. The Ser
bians resented the scandals OF the
court. After the marriage took
place. in defiance of all that was
said against il, the Intriguing DraEa
was exposed in her efforts to palm
on n bogus child as heir-in-law to
tho throne.
II was at this juncturc that tho
butchery of the night of June 10
occurred. IL was on the anniversary
Of the murder of Michael Obrcno-
witch. This time the obrenovitch
dynasty was w.ped out. The pre-
tender. Peter Karagcorgcvit was
then living in Geneva. supposedly
removed from all OF the political
intrigucs AT Belgrade. When word
was carried tn him of the assassina
tion he expressed his horror and de-
clared tn" crime had been pcrprc-
trated without his knowledge Five
days later he asccnded the throne.
The European nations broke off all
diplomatic rotations. and resumed
them only upon promise that the
new King would punish the con
spirators. This. it Is charged. was
never done.
Despite this handicap. King Peter
accomplished many big thinSs for
Serbia and became the idol OF his
people because OF his strong anti
Austrian and pro Russian attitude.
