Chief of Conspirators in Belgrade Palace Murder
The chief of the assassins was Col Maschin, brother-in-law to the murdered queen, who had quarrelled with his sister-in-law long before her marriage to King Alexander. Formerly in the Serbian army and diplomacy, he led and helped carry out the killings, objecting only to the disposal of bodies as needlessly barbarous. Now minister of public works, his rise follows the regicides’ pay for patriotism. Reg weaving in Persia notes rugs labor, with a 12 by 12 foot rug costing about 3,212 days of work for one man.
