One of the petitioners drew a revolver and flrcd five times at the Prefect, who fell dead. The assassin -was arrested. He was dressed as a peasant, and has not been Identified. He was recently arrested as a political suspect, but escaped from the police station before his examination. n The assassin waited in the anteroom of the Prefecture until the other petitioners had been received, and then, entering the audience-room, he advanced toward Count Shuvaloff at his desk, firing five shots at close range. The bullets passed through the body of the Prefect. Count Shuvaloff owes his death to his custom of freely granting audiences and receiving petitions from all classes. One bullet wounded the Count in the pericardium, another pierced his abdomen, a third struck him in the arm, and the fourth in the shoulder, while the fifth bul let of the assassin struck the leg of a woman who was standing near. Accord ing to the physicians, the bullets were poisoned. The victim speedily lost con sciousness und never spoke afterward. A great crowd gathered in front of the house of Count Shuvaloff, and made a de termined show oT its Indignation and sor row at the assassination of the Prefect, who was very popular.
