Tho aide de camp on duly. L i--., i ?< nr.o.ics, had been won over by the conspirators, ami was en trusted with the plans for action within the royal enclosure. Several doors lead ing to the royal apartments were blown in by dynamite, Colonel Naumovics himself bursting in the door of the royal cham ber with a iio.nb. Tie- officers had culled on the king to open, but he had curtly refused. As the door fell the king rushed to a wind >w and appealed for assistance, but no answer came. Realizing the situation, he returm d to the queen, holding her in is ,u:. s io prote-. t her. and awaited th" conspirators. Colonel Naumovics and the officers then entered the room. Naumovics presented to th,- king a form of abdl atjon for his signature, The document contained the statement that by marrying a “public prostitute." the king had degraded Servia. and that h" must abdicate. The king’s answer was to draw a revolver and kill Naumovi s on the spot. <'olon»d Mischic.; picked up the document and presented ic t ; -giJin. King Alexander waved it from aim.

HOW KING AND QUEEN WERE KILLED IN T'ALACE i About 1 o'clock a. m tho troops, who ' had been tampered with by the foes of i tlie dynasty, surrounded the palace. The doors were forced and the leaders of the i plot entered and assassinated King Al i exander. Queen Drags, tlie queen's two i brothers, ITem'cf Markovich, the minis ter of war. two aides de camp and two ■ other officers. 'l'he time of tlie assassination Is given ' officially as 2 a. m. .Accounts as tn liow the king and queen wi re murdere i vary. One story goes that an officer approached tlie bed of tlie king and queen and, rousing them, de m.'i'ided that Alexander abdicate, as lie had degraded Servia by marrying a "pub lic prostitute. ' Tile king's reply was a shot from a revolver, which killed the officer. Alexander and Draga, attired In their night • lothes, then tied to tile roof of tlie palace, where they were pursued and shot to death. Another account states that Queen Drags was brained by an ax in tile hands of her brother in law, Colo- . ne] Alexander Machin. ‘ PRINCE PETER CHOSEN TO RULE OVER SERVIA Owing to the rigi.l censorship it is al most impossible to learn exactly what i happened m th" palace save that the 1 king . nd queen ami other members of j their household wen- assassinated. i The murders were ill result of a mili tary revolution The leaders immediately proclaimed "Prince Karagcorgevltch king. A new government was formed and the . following proclamation issued: “TO THE SERVIAN PEOPLE: "Last night the king and queen were j .-hot.
