Seven members of the straggling crowd did no cheering. All seven were native Bosnians, but three of them-young Gavrilo Princip, Trifko Grabezh, Nedelyko Chabrinovitch-had arrived three weeks earlier from Belgrade, sent by the Ujedinjenje Hi smrt (known as the "Black Hand" Society, sworn to reunite Bosnia and Serbia). They had bombs and revolvers to murder the Archduke, and during the three weeks, with the help of a local conspirator, Hitch, they had recruited and armed three Sarajevo youngsters to aid in the attempt...
