The Dead Man Was the Son of a Wealthy Tennesseean— Spencer, a Kentuckian, De- nies Any Knowledge of Murder hTe body of J. P. Hammot, twenty yeare old, a private in Company 13, Eightieth Regiment, U. & '., son of a ‘wealthy planter of Nashville, Tenn,, ‘was found to-day in Westchester Creek, ‘near the Unionport Bridge. He had been murdered with a bayonet, a wound Deing found that pierced his heart and liver, He was dressed only in bis un- derolothes, legging and shoes, None ef hie outer clothing nor the weapon with which he was slain has been found, Coroner O'Gorman, after an examina- tion of the body and a talk with fellow. soldiers of the murdered man, ordered the holding of Corporal Richard M. Bpencer, of the Eighteenth Company. He was the last person who was in the company of Hammot before his death, He |s the son of a rich Kentuckian and was a boyhood friend of the mur- dered man. No direct oharge is made against him and he was simply taken into custody as an important witness. Woman Tells Her Mory. The woman the soldiers were drink- ing with in the hotel ts a Mrs. Chase, who works in the place, She said to an Evening World reporter to-day that Hammot and Spencer had come into the hotel at 8 o'clock in the night, Both had been drinking and ordered a bottle of port wine, which she shared with thom, Ghe said they left the place Vogother at li eoloek. ~ ‘This story-ie eontradieved by, Spencer, He says he went up ta bed after drink- ing until ajmost midnight. When he re- tured to the dnnaking room Hammot had left. The proprietor of the place says that on the morning after the two men had been in the hotel two soldiers cone w him carrying Hammot's hat. ‘They said they had found it om the roadway. He advised them to take it to Fort Schuyler, which they did. Wound in the Heart, Dr. Curtin, Coroner's physician, who performed the autopsy, says the wound was undoubtedly caused by a bayonet. Starting on the right side it penetrated the man’s heart, his lungs and liver. It was of considerable width and death must have come instantly, ‘The last seen of Hammot alive was yesterday morning when he was stand- ing in front of Krunstick’s Hotel, Wentchester. He had been drinking most of the preceding night in the company of a woman. The body was found by Capt. G, K. Perry, of the tugboat Harlem. It was ficating in the Westchester Creek not far from the Unionport Bridge, Besides the stab wound there were other evi- dences of foul play, Soon after the discovery of the body word reached the Westchester police station of the disappearance of the soldier. The au- thorities at the Fort were notified that the body had been found. A rigid in- veatlagtion is being made at the reser- vation to find out from Hammot's friends the names of all his women friends, Hammot lett Fort Schuyler on Tues- day afternoon on a twelve hours’ leave of absence. His time for return was fixed at 4 in the morning. With him went & corporal, who returned on time, He says he left Hammot when they reachal Westchester.

ROME, July 28.—The first telegram announcing the assassination of Minister Von Plebve reached the Vatican. It came from Paris and wae addressed to Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary of State. The Cardinal took it immediately to the Pope, who, raising his hands above bis head, exclaimed: i i “(How awful! Let ue hope that worse events than war are: not impending in Russta!'' ST. PETERSBURG, July 28—M. Von Plehve, Minister of the In terlor, was blown to pleces by a bomb hurled” into his carriage on thé, crowded Zabalansky Prospect to-day. His coachman was also killed ang several passers-by were wounded. The assassination grew out of a conspiracy in which many were tre terested, The bomb was thrown from a group of half a dozen or more men, all of whom escaped after the explosion save one, who was slightly: wounded. When he saw that he could he captured he swallowed poison and his condition is such that no statement has been obtained from him, ig He is supposed to be a Nihilist. ; The city is wild with excitement. In almost every particular tine assassination is a duplicate of that of Czar Alexander I], save that when the bomb was thrown at the Czar his carriage was surrounded by mounted soldiers. M. Von Plehve was unprotected by an immediate escort, alk though secret service police followed him on bicycles. ON HIS WAY TO THE CZAR, ’ a Following his custom, he had left his magnificent city home to drive to the Baltic railroad station, where a train waited to convey him to Peter= hof. There he was to make his weekly personal report to the Czar. Since the removal of the Imperial family to Peterhof, M, Von Plehve had left his home with his report every Thursday morning about 10 o'clock, This was generally known throuzhout the city, so it was not difficulf for the assassin to become acquainted with his movements, be Knowing the bitter feeling against him and in constant fear of assay sinatio, M. Von Plehve always caused his carriage to be driven through the streets. His equipag: was modest and not likely to attrac attention. Zabalansky Prospect is a wide thoroughfare leading up to the Warsaw station, Close to this station there {s a sharp turn in toward the Balt) station to which M. Vor Plehve was bound. It wad just before reaching thi: turn that the bomb was thrown. CARRIAGE SHATTERED BY THE BOMB The crush of ‘traffic at that point is great, and the coachman driving oR er. the minister's carriage was compelled to pull his horses to a slow walk, 2 The carriage was moving in front of the Warsaw Hotel when there was an ; explosion that was heard for half a mile, the carriage of M. von Plehve was shattered and his body and that of the coachman were hurled to the surface of the street, the Minister's head being blown off. ‘The horses were wounded by pieces of the bomb and broke away, drag: ging the front wheels of the carriage, the only portion of the vehicle leg uninjured, After running @ few yards the horses dropped in thair ow, bie of the secret service men escorting M. Von Plehve ran to hix ag sistance. Others dashed Into the Warsaw Hotel, as 1 was reported thay two men had been seen to throw something from a window a moment jon. 4 bag baby was dressed in the uniform of a Warsaw Railroad suard, He is a comparatively young man Phe cyclista escorting the Minister's carriage were power'ess to pre- vent the bomb being thrown. The Warsaw Hotel, whence according to one report the bomb was said to have been launched, stands at the corner of Zabalansky street and a road bordering on the Obvodny, or circular canal. Being near the depots it is almost exclusively patronized by rall- road men, It developed later in the day, however, that the bomb was not thrown from a window of the hotel THE ASSASSIN WOUNDED. The assassin, Who was wounded in the abdomen by @ splinter, went a successful operation. When throwing the bomb he shouted: live freedom!” with @ litte Rusian accent. His name bas not been tained and the prisoner told the police that he had no accomplices, Tavetslnsky, of the Guards, who was driving in a cab, sustained « Srectian
