July 1st - Day 4
It was the start of the last month of peace Europe would know for over four and a quarter years, although you would not have know this be reading the papers. In Britain the papers were full of the Henley Regatta.
The reporting of Franz Ferdinand’s assassination continued with “a painful scene” as his children were informed and Herbert Asquith moving in the Commons an address “to express the indignation and deep concern with which this House has learned of the assassination” and “their abhorrence of the crime and profound sympathy with the Imperial and Royal family and with the Governments and peoples of the dual Monarchy”
The proclamation of Martial Law in Sarajevo and district, "which was brought to tranquillity", was made known to the people by a town crier.
There are anti-Serb demonstrations in Vienna. It is revealed that Franz Ferdinand was insured for $12 million, Sophie for $6 million. Princip and Čabrinović will be tried in civilian rather than military courts, meaning that the maximum sentence Čabrinović can receive is 5-10 years for attempted murder, and Princip could get as little as 10 because he’s under-aged (19).
