SUICIDE OF THE KING OF BAVARIA.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. Munich, June 14. Ex-King Louis of Bavaria, who recently became insane and was deposed, committed suicide to-day by throwing himself into the lake at Sfcamberg, a suburb of this city, where he has been under restraint. One of the Court physicians, who was in attendance on the ex-King, in attempting to rescue him was also drowned. Further details regarding the suicide of King Louis show that a violent struggle took place between His Majesty and the doctor before the King succeeded in drowning himself. Prince Otto, brother to the late Louis 11., has been proclaimed King, but as His Majesty’s mind is also deranged, Prince Luitpoid, uncle to King Otto, has been appointed Regent.
