French president Paul Doumer (1857-1932) was shot by Russian emigre Paul Gorguloff at a book fair at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild in Paris. Author Claude Farrere wrestled with Gorguloff until police arrived. Doumer died in hospital the following day, the only French president to die of a gunshot wound. Gorguloff was found guilty after the jury rejected the idea that he was insane, and was executed in Paris by guillotine. Front cover of " L Illustre du Petit Journal". [France, 15 May 1932]
