The premedita- tion of the assassin appears to have been demonstrated by the fact that he lurked in hidin; doorway on the route of the King’s afternoon walk and only showed himself when his intended vietim was within eix feet of ¢he hiding place. When questioned by the Bchinas truculently answered: “You have courte; I will there.” H ‘When his captors demanded to = in police answer who he waa and whet was the motive of his crime, the stolid assassin merely mumbled: “Take me to the police station so that the crowd will not Kill ma I will talk thet But beyond giving his name and age and this nationality the prisoner refused to be drawn out. Once he snapped: “I do not believe in government.” ‘That was the only direct indication of Schinas's devotion to the destructive political creed of anagchy.

Since his triumphal entry on Nov. 12 he had lived at @ villa about two and a half aniles from the harbor and the centre of the city, maintaining a simple style and busying himself with the or- ganization of the Greek administration of the city. His villa was on the main road along the sea front leading to the city through the quarter where the merchants and wealthy residents of Balonica live. Every day King George walked along ths road to the headquarters of hs army in the ‘White Tower. He disliked having a guard, and a few days ago insisted on the cancellation of the order for four picked men to attend him. After that tds sole attendant was his equerry, Col. Frankoulis, his constant companion, though two gendarmes followed at a long distance. About 6.16 last evening the King and Col. Frankoulls were walking from the famous White Tower in accordance with @] thetr custom, The King was in a happy mood, and was talking joyfully of the success of the Greeks in the war and the capture of Smlonica and Janina as a ft- ting celebration of his golden jubilee, or fifty years on the throne, Just as he tles of the National Assembly to-day.
