Viennn. Nedrljo Gabrlnovics, who
threw a bomb at Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife while they
were proceeding to the Saraycvo town
hall, made a complete confession, ac
cording to dispatches received from
Sarayevo.
In bis confession Gabrlnovics says
that after learning, while at Bel
grade, that Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand was going to Sarayevo he com
municated with Gavlro Pririzlp, who
fired the fatal shots, with tho result
that they resolved to go there also
and kill the Archduke, the Duchess
and their suites and die themselves
for the Fatherland.
To obtain bombs, they applied to
Major Milan Prlbitchevltch, wcretary
of a Tan-Servian Union and foremrly
an officer in the Austrian army, who
had Joined the Servians. Through
him, Gabrlnovics says, bombs and
revolvers were obtained from the
Servian arsenal at Kraguyevatz.
Gabrlnovics undertook to find four
other bombthrowers, and it was
agreed that when the Archduke was
seen approaching each should hold a
bomb in his right hand a bottlo of
poison in his left hand and that he
should drink tho poison after throw
ing the bomb.
Gabrlnovics succeeded in finding
accomplices, one of whom was a Bel
grade student named Glebes. The
conspirators traveled separately to
Sarayevo, where tho bombs were di
vided among them in a confectionery
shop on the morning of the attempt.
Acoordlng to Gabrlnovics, Prinzlp
told him he had given bombs and
poison to three other comrades, whose
numes he did not divulge.
Trlnzlp, who had previously denied
that he had any accomplices, broke
down under examination and ex
claimed: "I now regret my crlmo,
for my comrades deserted me in a
shameful manner. They should have
thrown the bombs, but the cowardly
scoundrels did not Consequently, I
revenge myself on them by betray
ing them."
Grabes has been arrested and ad
mits having received bombs and
poison.
