, GOS MME NOT TERRORISTS UST Av holesale Murder of High Russian Officials Planned, but the Emperor Nicholas Was Not Included by the Conspirators. _ Another Was Ready to Murder Von Plehve—He Stood in the Crowd Holding in His Hand a Bomb Similar to the One that Was Thrown. ST, PETERSBURG, July 29.—The police and the public generally | are convinced that the assassination of Minister Von Plehve is part of a! far-reaching terrorist plot revealed last summer by the arrest of Gers, chunin, the Russian revolutionary agitator, at Kleff, where he had gone to organize an attempt on the Emperor's life at Saroff during the ceremonies Incident to the canonization of St. Seraphim. * ‘The subsequent trial established the fact that Gerschunin was the head of a murderous conspiracy, similar to the Nihilist conspiracies of the early 80s, the object of which was to create a reign of terfor in Rus: | sia by killing Ministers, Governors and the Emperor himself, Gerschunin | is a Hebrew and was a former petty official in St. Petersburg. The per- | petrators of the murders, as well as the victims, were to be selected by lot. A long series of assassinations and attempts at murder resulted from this conspiracy, beginning with the attempt on the life of Privy Councillor Pobiedonostseff, Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod, who was fired at) by a man named Logowski March 22, 1901, ‘The recent murders of Governor-General Bobrikoff, of Finland, who was shot by Eugene Schaumann June 16 and died the following morning, and of Vice-Gor. Andreiff, of Elizabethpol, Transcaucasia, assassinated July 17 last, probably were not connected with this plot. The latter crime was wndoubtedly due to private vengeance, HIS ARREST WAS DRAMATIC. The arrest of Gerechunin was conducted under dramatic eircumstances. He had been shadowed by the Austrian police and upon his arrival at Kieff trled to escape by Jumping from an electric car after an exciting chase, Gerschunin was captured, and he and two others, one of whom was a woman, were tried, convicted and pentenced to death, but the Emperor, with ‘Von Plehve's acquiescence, extended merey and commuted the sentences to fifteen years’ imprisonment. Gerschunin is now serving his sentence in Prison. ae | pail are amased to find how far-reaching was the conspiracy, ‘The documents found show the existence of a wholesale plot to munier Ministers, but the most remarkable feature ie that tt did not include the Emperor, who le distinctly declared to be “uninvolved.” ‘The capture of the accomplice of the murderer was effected under cir- cumstances showing that the conspirators pursued the very plan followed at tho time of the assassination of Alexander II. The accomplices then wore posted at several street corners, in order that if one man failed an- other might succeed. The same plan was adopted yesterday. The acoom- plice who la now under arrest stood near the Baltic Depot ready to throw a second bomb in case the ensassin stationed half a mile higher ap the canal had falled, POLICE GUARDING THE FACTS. ‘The name of the assassin of Interfor Minister Von Plehve is given by the Bourse Gazette as Lego, alias Porozeff, but this s not confirmed by the! police, who, if satisfied that they have esteblished the identity or even the aationality of the murderer, are carefully guarding the fact, perhaps to hrow bis accomplices off the scent. ‘The assassin, who was arrested a few minutes after the hurling of the yomb, {8 now in @ hospital carefully guarded against all attempts to take als own life, His wound, which was caused by a splinter of the Minister's tarriage having been forced through his abdomen, has been operated upon and he is reported to be in @ condition that gives hope for his ultimate recovery. The assassin was examined by an Investigating Magistrate to-day ana retused to make any statement. ‘The post mortem examination of the remains of Yon Plehye shows that his death was instantaneous, ‘The entire lower part of lis face was do- stroyed and the upper part was shockingly furrowed by bomb splinters. The ears were torn off, there was a gaping wound in his breagt, his left shoulder was mangled, his left arm was broken off between the wrist and the elbow, and his legs were broken, TRIED TO END HIS LIFE, An secount of the tragedy published this afternoon says we assuasin eteempted to commit suicide by shooting. He had a revolver in his hand when seized, ‘The operation on him was so successful that he is expeeted to recover in three weeks, The murderer, who is a handsome blond with regular features and is about twenty-five years of age, is atill in the hospital, He is entirely conscious, although suffering acute pain in consequence of the operation im extracting the splintera from his abdomen, face and arm, Though taciturn, he no longer refuses to talk. He epeaks Russian fluently, ‘but with a foreign accent, and declares he had no accomplices, The assas- ain carefully avoids giving the slightest clue to his Identity. He admits it was & carefully planned crime, says he was animated by bumonitarian mo- tives and does not express the slightest regret, When he threw the bomb he had just been pushed out of the Toadway near the bridge over the circular canal by one of the guards who rode be- side the carriage of the Minister on a bicycle, The guard took the fellow for a railroad employee because of cap and coat and the Proximity of the Baltic Station. When pushed aside he gave way and then fell in behind the guard's bicycle and threw the bontb, which struck @ wheal of the carriage, Al- though wounded in the head, face and abdomen, he made an effort to tecape, When caught it was thought, because he became unconscious so quickly, that he had taken poison. His wound in the abdomen is now thought to have caused him to sypon. SECOND MAN CAPTURED. In the arrest of the second man, believed to be a Finn, the police think they have the accomplice who was to burl the second instrument Of death, or who may have been waiting to see if the opportunity was open for thu assassination of some other member of the Czar’s official household. Thia man had a bomb, which he held in his hand in his pocket when arrested. It was similar to the one that had been thrown, The accomplice, who was taken from the Warsaw Motel, was cap- tured by an employee of the hotel. When the police miade a rush for him he raised a bomb and they fell back. Then it was the employes Pusbed in and grabbed him, ani tae officers came to his assistance. ' There is a report that previous to the carriage of M, Von Piehve! some minutes with wervants in the livery of the Minister.
