EX-CZAR’S DEATH
IS NOT CONFIRMED.
London, June 28.—At the Russian
|s embassy it was declared today that
no official confirmation had been re
ceived of the report that the former
Russian emperor had been assassin
ated. If the report is true, the crime
is npt a political one, according to
the embassy officials, but merely an
act of brutality on the part of an an
il gry guard.
I Regarding the unexpected appear
ance in London of Alexander Keren
sky, the former premier of Russia,
the embassy said it knew of his pres
ence here for several days, but chose
to let him take his own time for re
vealing himself.
A dispatch from Berne today said
that the court-marshal at Damstadt,
Germany, has received a telegram
Mgned “Tchitcherin,” announcing that
Nicholas Romanoff, the former Rus
sian emperor, has been assassinated,
rays a dispatch to the Matin, from
j$erne. The assassination took place
between Ekaterinburg and Perm.
( The dispatch from Berne gives
weight to the increasing number of
reports of the assassination of the
former Russian emperor. Damstadt
is the capital of the Grand Duchy of
Hesse and the former Empress Alix
is a sister of the reigning grandduke.
It is not unlikely that the Russian
government through Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin would inform the

Berlin has reported recently that
the former emperor was being re
moved from Ekaterinburg to Mos
cow. Perm is on the northern rail
road route from Ekaterinburg to
Moscow. Ccecho-Slovak troops con
trol the southern route and it is
probable that if the Bolsheviki did
take the former emperor from Ekat;
erinburg they took him by the rail
way running through Perm.
The former Russian empress was
last reported as being in Ekaterin
burg with her husband and daughter.
