HISTORIC TAXI-CAB
SINISTER REPUTATION By Cable.- Press Association.- Copyright. PARIS, Friday. A MODEST taxicab is earning for itself a sinister reputation. The limousine in which the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated at Serejevo, it has since been attended by tragic results, despite changes of ownership. Last June its chauffeur, Soulle, was shot by an architect’s clerk, who was recently sentenced to death. Now the same cab has been found abandoned on a lonely roadside with a pool of blood on the floor. It is assumed that the driver, Cadorin, has been killed, and his body thrown in the river.—A. and N.Z.-Sun.
The assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and his wife, at Serajevo on June '2B, 1914, was seized upon by Austria and Germany as an excuse for declaring war on Serbia, and led ultimately to the Great War. The Archduke's murderer was an Austrian subject of Serb nationality.'
