shot was fired. He staggered and near
ly fell and was reeling when the sec
ond shot struck him. Four policemen
rushed up and the assassins turned
their pistols on the officers, two of

when capture seemed near, inficting
serious injury.
Chamberlain told the house of COM
mons the assassins were arrested
