THREE OTHERS WOUNDED Companions of the Prince Struck by Bullets Intended for Him and One of Them Is Seriously Hurt—Russian Mirister of the Interior Kokovsofi a Member of the Party at the Time of the Tragedy. Harbin, Manchuria, Oct. 27.—Prince Hirobumi Ito, former Japanese presi- dent general of Korea and prebably Japan's foremost statesman, was as sassinated here by a Korean who had followed him bere for the express pur- pose of killing him. The motive of the assassin was re venge. The assassin was arrested. Almost immediately on his arrival here and just as Prince Ito left taé railread car at the station the attack was made upon bim. The venerable statesman, accompanied by Russian Minister of Finance Kokovsoff, was starting to inspect the guard of honor drawn up along the platform: when a pistol shot was heard. Several more shets were fired in quick succession, the bullets striking the prince ‘n the back. Prince Ito fell mortally wounded. Three Companions Wounded. Tharez of the prince’s companions als» were wounded. bullets striking Japanese Consul General Kawakan, General Munager Tannaka of the Scuth Manchurian railway and Prince Itc's private secretary. Consul Gen- eral Kawakan is badly but not fatally injured, it is believed. The assassin was promptly seized. On being questioned he said he was a Korean. “I came to Harbin for the sole pur- pose of assassinating Prince Ito to avenga my country,” the slayer told his capiors, He also said he had a personal ac count to settle with the great Japa- nese statasman, wko, during his stay In Korea, had ordered the execution of several persons closely connected ‘with the assassin. Outcome of Organized Plot. The assassination of Prince Ito ap- pears to have been the outcome of an organized plot. . The local authorities, who, antici- pating the arrival of Prince Ito, were on the lookout for suspicious charac- ters, arrested three Koreans who were at the station and were found to be armed with revolvers. However, the tack of guarding the prince was rendered difficult by reason of Japanese Consul General Kawa- kan’s request that the railway officials peimit all Japansse to enter the rail- road station to greet the prince. The police point out that it was quite im- possible to distinguish Koreans from Japanese by their appearance. The body of the slain statesman has already been removed homeward. The cofin before it was placed on the traln was covered with flowers sent by M. Kokovzoff and the Russian and Japanese officials.
