Franz Joseph, Just Recovering
, From Illness, Hurries to
Dead Heir's Side.
Sarayevo, Bosnia, June 29 Martial
law was proclaimed today "both in the
city and the district of . SarayeW in
- consequence of the assassination here
i yesterday of Archduke FVancis Ferdl
'xi&iidand the Duchcea of Hohentoeis.
Death maxira were taken of the ISvxa
j Archduke and the Ducheaa The bod
I lea of the two victims were then em
ilalme and placed on a califalque in
I the chapel of the palace, where they
' were today surrounded by a magnifi
i cent display of wreaths and other
I floral ertfblems from all parts of the
; country. ; ' ,;
According to the serai-official re-
t port of the tragedy, at the time the"
fatal shots were, fired. Field Marshal
j Oskar Potiorek, governor of Bosnia,
was seated in the Archduke's motor
car. Count Francis Von Harrach was
t -t ci a i rt tr on - tbe f ootbaard of the car
acting as. a. shield to the occupants,' of
urSom he had constituted himself the
special bodyguard after the bomb had
"been thrown a short time before by
' NedeUq Qahrtnovics. . The archduke J
I was Jokine with the Count about his
i precautions when the "reports of sew- ;
! eraJ shots rang out. -
The aim of the assassins was so
jtrue that each of the bullets inflicted
!sl mortal wound.
For am Instant after the attack F"ied
('Marshal Potiorek thought the Arch
duke and the Duchess, seated opposite
him. had again escaped. Neither the
Archduke nor tne oucneas utterea a
sound ; hut a moment afterward the
Wood spurted in great gushes from
the victims' mouths and throats a -rid
it was seen that they had 'been mortal-
ily wounded.
Iieotenant . Colonel Erik - Mortezi,
j who was wounded by the bomb in the
first -". was today pronounced out
j of dancer. The injury sustained 'by
I Count Von Boos-Waldeck was said to
pbe insignificant.
Servian Students Arrested.
Gabrlnovics, it was learned today,
"had. been expelled from Sarayevo- two
fyears ago but recently was permitted
(to return through the intervention of
1 a Socialist member of the Bosnian
'Diet . ;
Some Servian students here, when
Hhey heard the news of the assassina
tion, shouted:
"Thank God! We need not do It
ourselves." , ; ..-'''
They were arrested as . accomplices
of the assassins. ' "
Indications point to the tragedy
,havtng been engineered by persona
possessing more mature organizing
'ability than possessed by the youthful
assassins. It 1a generally thought in
'Austria and Hungary that the plot,
'ters had their headquarters in Bel
grade, the Servian capital. .
Servian hatred of Austrian, which
always has been violent, has, it is
pointed out, recently been fomented
by, the newspapers in Belgrade and
by agitators throughout Servla and
Bosnia who have helped to Inflame
the minds. of the students and to in
duce them to sacrifice their lives in
the belief that they will go down- to
bietory as patriots.
Yesterday's 'crime seems likely to
have a contrary effect to that deired
by its authors for, even before the
bodies of the murdered couple have
been interred, the Austrian authori
ties already are contemplating severe
measures of punishment.
The Servian minister at Vienna told
Archduke Francis Ferdinand of the
peril of his visit to Sarayevo at the
present time and implored him, even
if he insisted on going there himself,
et least to leave the Duchess at home.
Dncfaess Knew of Danger.
When the Duchess of Hohenberg
was informed, however, of the dangw
ous nature of the Journey the Arch
duke was about to take she said her
, place was at her husband's side. When
' the Archduke and the Duchess " ar
rived at Sarayevo on Saturday, some
signs of hostility were ehown by the
fterb portion of the population and,
only Just before the couple passed
through the city, the authorities suc
ceeded In getting rid of a great dis
play of Servian flags which the people
Isad hoisted instead of' flying the Aus
trian colors. The., bitterness of feel
ing, however, was carried! to the ex
1 reme when, at a cession of the Bos
i ton Diet called to express sorrow at
the death of the Archduke, four Ser
vian deputies appeared in light suits
in contrast to the sombre blade of
their fellow deputies. .'
The pians of the assassins contem
plated, it is said, the blowing up of
the royal train when the Archduke and
his wife were leaving Sarayevo in case
the attempt by Gavrio Frinzlp failed.
It was learned today that several
bombs had bae-n found along the Sar
ayevo .Railway over which the Arch
Juke and his wife traveled. . Prinzip's

His Papers
i
Dr. A. O. Jones, having dental of
fices In the Read building. 1094 Mala
street, was on trial before' Judge
Coughlin, in city court, today, on
charges of having violated chapter
184 -of the laws of 1905 and chapter
249 of the laws of 1907. Much in
terest is shown in the hearing on ac
count of the previous history of Dr.
Jones' controversy with the state den
tal board. :
County Health Officer George E.
Hill is appearing for the prosecution,
assisted by , former City Attorney
Thomas M. Cullinan. Attorneys Ja
oob B. Klein, Robert Q. DeForest and
D. J. Brennan appear for the defense.
There are six counts under which the
prosecution is brought, three alleging
the performing of dental surgery, and
three alleging tha he has practiced
as registered dentist under the state
laws. ' ' .
The contention of -the prosecution is
that Dr. Jones is violating the state
statutes in doing otherwise than act
ing as an assistant to a registered
dentists. The evidence, is offered to
show that he has a registration only
as an assistant dentist. ' The prosecu
tion claims that Dr. Jones has both
advertised himself as a dentist and
done work as such.
Attorney Hill produced a number
of advertisements, 1 contained in the
dally press land programs, in which
he contends that Dr. Jones advances
himself as a dentist in full standing
and qualified to practice. .These were
admitted as exhibits in order. One
advertisement was admitted when it
was agreed that no attention should
be paid to the "D. D. S." printe'd af
ter Dr. Jones' name. ,
George H. - Smith, 1617 Fairfield
avenue, having a shoe repairing shop
on Cannon street, was the only wit
ness examined up until adjournment
for lunch this afternoon. . The first
part of the hearing was entirely giv
en up to introduction of documentary
evidence, much of it figuring in the
hearing brought by Dr. Jones in com
mon pleas court. '
Mr. Smith was rather hazy regard
ing dates, but far from such .when
questioned concerning his business
relations with Dr. Jones. Smith said
he visited the Jones offices to have
his teeth given attention. That many
of them' were treated and two pieces
of bridg;er work were put in. He said
that Dr. Jones alone, unless someone
looked over his shoulder to examine
the teeth, handled the job. Ad
mission was made that the teeth did
not satisfy, that he had trduble with
them and visited another dentist. He
professed ignorance as to how Attor
ney Hill learned of his dissatisfaction.
He admitted that he had written to
Dr. Jones and had received a reply
asking that he call at the office. He
said that he did so.

ing many. The state dental commis

WALL STAINS
BIG ISSUE IN

Dr. Weaver's Report Expected
. to Contradict Claims
- - Of Defense.
CORONER HELAN TO
RESUME HIS INQUmY
.Divorcee Not Expected to Take
Stand At Hearing This
Afternoon
Stamford, June S9 -Chief interest
today in the investigation of the my
sterious death early last week, of
Waldo R. Ballou, centered in the re
port which Dr. Bruce S. Weaver, a
pathologist connected with the local
hospital, was" expected to make to
Coroner John J. Phelan, on the result
of the chemical analysis of certain
marks found on the walls of the apart
ments of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, where
Ballou had visited the night of bis
death.
It has been alleged" that the -marks
were ' (bloodstains. The coroner re
sumes his inquiry this afternoon, but
it is not probable Mrs. Angle will take
the stand. She is under bonds pend'
tag the outcome of the Investigation.
Leonard Blondel, father of . Mrs.
Angle, today said he had had a private
analysis made of the wall marks and
was satisfied that they showed the
stains to be in some instances those of
tobacco Juice and in others of oil.
It is understood, however, that the
police have an intimation that the re
port of Dr. Weaver will (be of a nature
such as to controvert - Mr. Blondel's
statement. Former Judge. H. Stanley
Finch, of counsel for Mrs. Angle, said
today he was satisfied that Mrs. Angle
was innocent of any connection with
Ballou'BA death and advanced the
theory that Bayou may have been
waylaid by someone in the hall as he
was leaving Mrs. Angle's apartments.
Judge Finch said Mrs. Anglo had
$500 of her 'father's money in her
rooms that night and this possibly be
coming known had caused an attempt
at theft being made and that the in
truder, meeting Ballou unexpectedly
in the hall had struck him down..
Judge N. C. Downs, counsel for Mrs.
Angle, announced shortly after noon
today that, because of his client's
condition he would not permit her to
testify :bef ore the coroner when that
official resumed his investigation. He
also expressed the belief that Mrs.
Angle would be released, as he said
nothing had been developed to show
that she was connected with Ballou's
death or to controvert, her statement
that he had fallen down stairs. 1
Dr. Weaver today said that, while
he had not completed his examination
of the various stains on wall and. floor
found in Mrs. Angle's apartments, the
analysis had shown that the marks
on the matting under the ironing
board were those of blood. When
Chief of Police Brennan took posses
sion of the flat iron last' week which
has figured in the inquiry, he found
it standing on the ironing board.
Dr. Weaver said: "The stains on tne
vi-ntAV tta i pnnin or hMari4

as having, said that Ballou had told
her. he and Mrs. Angle had quarrel

faithfully fori until consumption took
him from her.
Later, she came in contact with un

"into dissolute, life from which she re
belled and. eventually fled from Chi
cago after giving evidence which aid
ed in the moral cleansing of that city.
Stie fled to this city in October, 1912,
followed by Joe Buonomo on October
22, who, in company with four com
panions, took her in an automobile to
Stratford. Buonomo was proven to
have shot '- her five times while in a
rage. . .
Several trials resulted during which,
nolles were entered in the cases of
those jointy accused of the crime with
him. Though he recently appeared
before the board of pardons and al
leged that he was forced by Black
Hand threats to accuse himself of the
crime which another committed, hi
