So set were the murderers on fulfilling their task that they hacked their victim's body with forty wounds. The complicity of Alexander Karageorgevitch and his son Petar now King was proved. The plot was engineered by means of Alexander's lawyer, Radovanovitch.

Montenegro must be ready or drop out. They argued: "But when the London people hear there is going to be an exhibition they will change their season to suit it." "Now we say this to you." And I hustled them. Petar Plamenatz was the Secretary for Home Affairs. He was to give me facts imports, exports, education, post, telegraph, etc. for an article on Montenegro for the catalogue.

Petar was of opinion that war was inevitable, otherwise all the plans of the Serbs for Great Serbia were ruined. Serbs and Montenegrins must act as brothers.

M. Lobatcheff and Petar Plamenatz, however, gave all their energies to working on this element and keeping it as discontented as possible. Lobatcheff was very friendly to me. Being introduced by the Russians in Cetinje, I was expected to supply and convey information. The politics of the little consular world are funny.

I asked, "What is the Serb army like?" They roared with laughter. "Oni chuvahjuf svinje Gospodjitza!" Prince Petar fired a gun into a Turkish camp across the frontier.

This is a very important period for now for the first time Austria appears on the scene and the long diplomatic struggle with Russia for power in Montenegro begins.

The Austria-Hungarian Government demanded at once to see the document, and all business came to a standstill. Nor was this surprising, for Petar I, Pashitch and the regicide group were notoriously Russia's proteges, and any secret arrangement on their part was likely to be directed against Austria. Austria closed her frontier to Serbian live stock. Serbia was on the bubble.

I went to the Montenegrin Consulate and found Petar Plamenatz almost in tears with a red-hot proclamation of Prince Nikola's in his hands, calling on all Serbs of all countries to unite and denounce the breaking of the Berlin Treaty, and laying great stress on the fact that all his ancestors were buried in the Herzegovina, which was now seized by Austria.

Petar Plamenatz left Scutari to defend the prisoners, and his consular colleagues including Lobatcheff foretold that all would receive heavy sentences, for they had no great opinion of Petar's powers. The trial proved highly sensational.

I wrung the truth from him. He had no clean shirt. It is the only time I ever bought an evening shirt for a gentleman. Petar left after the most strenuous week of his life.
