The motor car in which Archduke ■Franz Ferdinand was travelling when he was assassinated at Serejevo in June, 1914, is to be broken up because during the 13 years that have elapsed since the tragedy no fewer than 13 other people have met their death while travelling in this un- j lucky vehicle. Misfortune has attended everyone who has owned this motor car, and the last victim was a Hungarian motor dealer. He purchased the car cheaply with the intention of selling it in Rumania, and, knowing its history, drove it very cautiously. But he, too, met with an accident when the car capsized. He and his companion who was travelling with him were instantly killed.
