DETAILS OF A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
The Debats' account states that although the police lined the route there .were no special precautions taken. •The public were allowed to move freely on the footpaths. The fusilade .commenced at a spot where the road narrowed and the crowd was most compact. The King was shot in the spine and fell 'back on the cushions in a pool of blood. The Crown Prince sitting opposite rose momentarily and then fell, rolling on his father. The Queen uttered a cry and arose, covering the children. The coachman ■urged the horses to a gallop and dash ed to the courtyard arsenal gate. -He then shut the latter. The bodies were then removed to the Neccessidads Palace.
