THE BELGRADE SENSATION.
PRISONERS DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
RELATIVES CHARGE THE PREFECT OF POLICE WITH MURDER.
Received October 1, 30.5 p.m. BELGRADE, October 1
An autopsy showed that M. Novakovics and his companion did not commit suicide.
The relatives of the deceased charge the Prefect of Police with murder in ordering the gendarmes to fire on the prisoners.
(A cablegram, published yesterday, stated that M. Novakovics, the editor of an anti-regicide journal in Bel grade, and an anti-regicide officer, both of whom had been long imprisoned on a minor charge without trial, began firing rifles in the gaol in order to arouse the populace. After wounding two gendarmes, the prisoners committed suicide. On learning something of what had happened, workmen and students created street disturbances, wounding several gendarmes and compelling a patrol of troops to use weapons to clear the street. M. Novakovics had been offered his liberty if he would cease attacking the dynasty; but he had refused to agree to these conditions).
