ROYAL CRIME FORETOLD.
THE LATE MR, W. T. STEAD AND THE SERVIAN ASSASSINATIONS.
A volume of reminiscences of the late Mr. William T. Stead is to be published shortly in Paris by M. Jean
Finot, who describes Mr. Stead as the “King' of Journalists.” The two writers were close friends for many years, and M- Finot has a rich stoic of anecdotes concerning his lamented colleague •
Referring to Mr. Stead’s spiritualistic experiments, M. Finot relates how on one occasion a medium, in the presence of a number of witnesses, predicted the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia. Mr. Stead was so convinced of the veracity of the prediction that he went to the Servian Minister in London an<) finally induced him to send warning t-o his Sovereign.
The warning was not heeded by the young King, and several months later the terrible Belgrade tragedy was enacted with details absolutely identical with those described by Mr. Stead’s medium.
