A semi-official note has been issued which declares that whosoever be elect ed King of Servla the powers will de mand the punishment of the murderers, as civilized' Europe cannot tolerate that high administrative military positions be occupied by assassins. i MT an ' ho (Journal Special Service.) BELGRADE,. June 13. The details of the assassination ,f King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servla In the dark hours of Thursday morning are now generally known. So many conflicting reports of the manner In which the butchery -was accomplished were cur rent, that until last night no, particular one could be substantiated. , It now can be stated with truth that the royal couple were apprised at the approach of the assassins and that the ' electric lights were turned of! almost sd"--oon,-as" the " party had entered the palace "gate. Had It not been for the traitorous acts of body guards and serv- , ants of the King and Queen It is proba ble that they might have escaped. The report has now been verified that '. at the: moment the revolting officers reached the upper corridors In search of the doomed monarchs the lighting sys tem of the palace wis disarranged and it was then that' candles were lighted and the- search renewed, Watt laid riot. It appears that the plot had long been decided upon and the plans well , laid. . On Wednesday night at 11 o'clock Lieutenant Colonel Mithlch .invited his comrades to meet lit. the Kallmagdeu Garden.'-.-The officers at. the . meeting represented every regiment of the Ser . 1 vlan Army. At ! 1 o'clock, a. m.. the officers.

At the doc of ' the palace a fight ensued iut the guard . was overpowered nd the assassins .en-, tered with the keys and1 the search, for the royal personages began. ; i After, the lights, were turned off it became difficult to find-ways about the passages. Finally, by ': traversing ,; the corridors between-the old and the new palace' the ante-room to the King's appartments was found and here tho servant of'. Queen : Draga was encoun? tered. He showed fight, but was over come and then tojd where the King ajid Queon had fled and where they were In hiding. After imparting this informa tion, which was found true, the servant was killed. Both Bodies Bldoleo. By traversing a long passage way an alcove was found with . doors locked. Within was the royal couple. The doors were battered down and. In tlfelr niehtclothes they .were shot by the young officers. 'The advice of the older officers was to require the. King to ab dicate,- but tho advice was not heeded. Both bodies were riddled with bullets. Within two hours afterwards the bodies were burled secretly. The first report that the dead King and Queen had been thrown from the window Into the court below Is found to be erroneous. It is also stated that ttftey were not infamously burled along with the other victims of the murder. Two brothers of Draga were shot soon after they were taken from their bar racks and three sisters and two cousins of the unfortunate Queen have been banished from the country.
