Capodistrias had been warned from several quarters that his life was in danger, but he had refused to take ' any precautions. Providence, 7 he said, ' watches over the President of Greece. They ' will reverence my white hairs! When, however, he saw the two Mavromichales, he hesitated for an instant, for he knew the customs of the Maina. The hesitation was but momentary, and the next minute he had passed up the steps of the church. The Mavromichales waited till he had passed them; then Constantine fired a pistol, loaded with a double charge, at his head; and, as he staggered and fell, George plunged a dagger into his heart. The two murderers then turned and fled. Capodistrias fell without a cry and without a groan; his servant, Kokonis, caught him with the stump of his arm, and laid him gently on the ground ; then, leaving the body of his master, rushed after the assassins. A shot which he fired at Constantine took effect; but, after a stumble, he managed to continue his flight, though with difficulty. Meanwhile the sound of the scuffle and the pistol shots had disturbed the worshippers in the church, who now poured out, and, with an excited crowd that had collected, joined in the pursuit. Constantine, who had been wounded in the leg, was speedily overtaken,

' ' he cried; better light a candle at the church door! 1 Ho! Is there no palikari here will end me with a pistol-ball? ' He had not to wait long. 2 Meanwhile George had taken refuge in the French consulate, which was speedily surrounded by a howling mob clamouring for his blood. On learning what had happened, the French Resident could not refuse to deliver him up to the proper authorities, especially in view of the threatening attitude of the crowd; and he was presently marched off to Itsh-kale^ under the guard of a strong body of soldiers. He was tried by court-martial, and condemned to be shot. George Mavromichales, handsome, brave, winning, and of an open and generous disposition, had been a general favourite ; and when he was led out to execution, the crowd of spectators were strangely divided between sympathy for himself and hatred of his crime. He showed no trace of fear, and faced his death with a serene courage worthy of a nobler cause. He expressed and felt no regret for a deed which was fully the code of conduct under which he had justified by i The candle is lighted at the church door when anyone dies. 2 Mendelssohn, ii. 272, &c. 24
