As' all suspicious persons are liable to be searched In the streets by the police and military patrols the assassin Impersonated a painter, carrying the bomb with which he committed the crime concalrd in a paint can. He was thus able to pass the sentry posted at the gates of the park and reached his place of ambush without arousing sus picion. General (Srlaxnoff, ciad In a crimson uniform and the white lambs' wool shapka or cap, worn by the viceroy's alde-de camp, made a shining target for the crouching assassin when he emerged from the palace.
