Show plot to ill am or EL THE WSS1IS, BY M ANARCHIST, DBCOVEREP Purchase of Uniform of Emperor's Escort Which Would Give Entree to Royal Palace, Gives Clue to Conspiracy Against Nicholas; by Such Means Terrorist Anarchists Gained Approach Ap-proach to Premier Stolypin and Procurator Pavloff. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2. A plot evidently directed against the Emperor, came to light today through orders issued to the secret police to use every effort to identify the purchaser of a uniform of his Majesty's own Cossack escort, which was captured in a recent raid. Detectives have been directed to visit every tailor in St. Petersburg, and the searches can be extended to the provinces. The use of regulation uniforms is a favorite device of the terrorists. It was employed in the attempt against the life of Premier Stolypin and in the assassination of Procurator Pavloff. The Cossack garb is an open sesame to the precincts of the palaces at Tsarskoe-Selo and Peterhof. |
