After the ceremonies, there was a conference. Franz Ferdinand wanted to send Sophie home and go on with his program. Sophie refused to go. An officer suggested that they go to the Governor's residence. "Do you think Sarajevo is full of assassins?" was General Potiorek's squelcher. Finally the Archduke decided to scrap the program which would have taken him to the town museum and to drive straight back to visit his wounded aide in the hospital. As Franz Ferdinand and Sophie again entered their car (see cut, right), he was informed that Chabrinovitch had been collared...

The passengers did not see wild-eyed young Chabrinovitch take a small bomb from his pocket and knock off its cap against a post. But the chauffeur noticed and stepped on the gas. A small black object hurtled through the air, struck the rear of the car, fell spinning to the street. Then with a roar and a flash the bomb exploded. Several bystanders were injured.
