The Wiener Yeitung says: “Prof. Weiderhofer, who per formed the autopsy on the remains of Crown Prince Rudolph, found a large, wound in the side of his head, which caused instant death. A re volver with one chamber discharg ed, was found on the bedside close to the right hand ol the dead man. The position in which it was found proves beyond doubt that the crown prince committed suicide. The pericranium was torn and the skull bones were partially shatter ed. The report of the revolver was heard by no one, the crown prince’s attendants having left the house to make, preparations for a hunting excursion. Several members of the crown prince’s entourage state that during the last few weeks the crown prince had manifesto 1 signs of morbid nervous excitement and therefore the Weiner Zeitung says the view that the shooting was the result of temporary mental de rangement must be adhered to. Some time previous to his death, the crown prince complained of headaches, which were attributed to an injury to his head which be sustained by a fall from a horse last autumn.
