(Received 10.30 a.m.) MARSEILLES, October 9. King Alexander of Yugoslavia, and M. Barthou, French Foreign Minister, have been assassinated, and General Georges, of Yugoslavia, who was accompanying King Alexander, is not expected to survive his wounds. A number of individuals in the crowd fired at King Alexander during the procession after his landing here. King Alexander, General Georges and M. Barthou were in a motor car when the bullets were fired. The King fell back with blood streaming from his mouth and chest. Several others were wounded, and a woman was shot dead. M. Barthou's left arm was fractured. It was at first believed that the injury was not serious, but later he collapsed and died following an unsuccessful blood transfusion. The crowd is reported to have lynched one assassin, who was Petrus Kalemen, a native of Zagreb.
