On his arm was tattooed the motto and device of a Mace donian secret society known as IMRO. The weapon with which the murders were committed was a huge ungainly Mauser automatic pistol of the latest type which sprays 20 shots like a machine gun.

In the past few years the Umo has attempted to murder Poland's Dictator, Marshal Josef Pilsudski; Poland's second President, Jan Wojciechowski; the Minister of Commerce and Industry Eugene Kwiatkowski; has succeeded in murdering a State official, one Sobinski. Last week the Umo added to its reputation by burning a Franciscan convent and 60 farms...
