A BLOOD-THIRSTY OFFICER. The entire career of General Pavioff, who was 55 years old. married, and had {wo children, was spent in the judicial department of the army. After serving several years as a military Tudge he wis appointed Judge Advoca of tho War Ministry, and later Procura- tor of the Supreme Military Court. - General Pavloff was delegated by War Minister Rudiger lo answer the interpel- lations the Government in the lower House of Parliament in regard to the Baltic Provinces and in Poland. The Military Procurator juslified these atts wilh such cold-bloodedness and disre- gard of the sentiments of the members that it aroused the indignation of al- most the enlire House, and he was driven from the rostrum with cries of "murderer," "hangman," "assassin." He was not allowed to speak again. The murdered general was a large land- owner. After the dissolution of Parlia- ment he organized the Profective Poli- tical League to combat Radical projects for the expropriation of landed estates. +A: despatch from St. Petersburg says : Lieut.-Gen. ' Vladimir Pavloff, the Mili- lary Procurator, or 'Advocate-General, generally known since the late Parlia- ment as "Hangman" Pavioff, from the epithet constantly applied to him by the Radical deputies, was shot and killed at 19 o'clock on Wednesday morning while walking in the garden of the chief mili- lary court building, near the Moika Canal. The assassin, who, apparently, was disguised as a workman, was cap- tured a a long chase through the crowded city streels, during which he fired about forty shots from two revol- vers which he carried, killing a police- man gnd accidentally wounding a boy. MURDER CAREFULLY PLANNED, The crime showed ovidence of the same careful preparation which was characteristic of the murderers of Gen- eral Alexis Ignatieff and Von der Laun- ila, and was umdoubledly earried.out by tho same organizalion which has sen- tenced Emperor Nicholas and several of the Ministers to death. The assassin, who wore the uniform of a military clerk allached to the court, obtained an entrance to the garden under the pretext of. submitting a report to the Military Procurator. . USED RAPID-FIRE PISTOL. . He approached the unsuspecting Gen- eral within an arm's length, drew a pis- lol and fired the whole load, seven shols, into Pavloff's body. EVery shot was well aimed, and two of them tore a gaping wound in his breast. The Gen- Des to one dollar a thousand eet, ; Twenty-five people were killed on the LC.I. during 1906, .
