Close Investigation

Berlin, March 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press Tive czarist officers
have been arrested, charged with
killing Vladimir Naboukoff and at
tempting to assassinate Prof. Paul
IN. Milukoff The men are Peter
Schabelski-Brock and Jaribos Tabo-
witzki. NJ Naboukoff was killed dur
ing an attack on NJ. Milukoff, while
the latter was addressing a Russian
meeting here last night.
Both of these men held have been
Identified by people who were on the
stage when the shCts were fired, but
monarchists who were present but
escaped in the uproar, were also i'm
plicated in the plot to assassinate NJ.
Milukoff.
Professor Milukoff was formerly
minister of foreign affairs in the Rus
sian provincial government, and NJ.
Nabcukoff was secretary of state in
the first Russian parliamentary cab
met under Prince Lvoff.
NJ. Luikuff's presence of mind Ell
abled him to escape, as he made a
quick forward and downward move
ment when the first shots were fired.
His assailants mounted the stage to
renew the attack at short range, but
one of the officers was seized by M.
Naboukoff and thrown to the floor.
His companion came to the rescue
and fired the fatal shots into Nabou-
koff from behind. Professor Milu-
koff meanwhile had succeeded in
reaching an ante room off the stage,
while the assailants were seized By
the infuriated spectators, who threat
ened to lynch them.
One of the men who assisted in
their capture is Vladimir Nasimoff-
Lewenton, a Russian journalist en-
ployed in Berlin and brother of the
actress Nazimova.
The police are inclined to believe
that the plot tc assassinate Nj. Lukoff
was concocted by the former monar-
.chists who are now holding a con-
gress in Berlin. M. Luckoff arrived
from Paris yesterday and announce
ment of his lecture had attracted a
largo audience
