ARMENIAN LEADER SLAIN
london Excited by Development Of
Revolutionaries' Feud.
Sasetel SaGouni. Revolutionary Leader
the Victim-Slayer From America,
Had Lived In New York

London, EnS.-Sagetel Sagouni, Pres
ident of the Armenian refugee society
of London. and a well-known revolu-
tionary leader, was murdered at Nun
head, suburb of London. AS he was
entering the gate of the garden at
tached to his residence man rushed
across the road and fired three pistol
shots at him at close range. Two Of
the bullets took effect.
Sagouni drew q revolver. intending to
defend himself. but before lie could
use it his assailant fired q fourth shot,
which struck the heart, whereupon Sa-
gouni fell dead.
The murderer fled, leaving felt hat
and a revolver. Both of these articles
had marks showing that they had been
purchased in New York.
The crime is believed to be sequel
of differences that have existed among
the Armenian refugees residing in Lon
don for the past four years. These ref
ugees are divided into two factions,
the Hantchagists and the Alfarists.
After their original dispute these fac
tioas became reconciled. but in Octo-
Der, 1902, the Alfarists collected $20,-
900 in the United States and the quar-
rel between the factions was renewed.

lists of appropriating the money to their
own use. AS Il result Of the i'll feeling
engendered by this charge a member
of the Alfarist faction recently stabbed
a Hentchagist OH street at Lausanne,
Switzerland.
Sagouni was sent to Switzerland to
investigate this crime. and while re-
turning to England on Channel pack
ct he met man who answered the de-
scription of the Hentchagist assailant.
In a recent report on this affair Sa-
gouni described this assailant. This
description tallies with that of the man
who shot him.
The Hentchagists take their name
from hentchak, meaning tocsin, the
name given to the newspaper they
publish. The Alfarists get their title
from the prominent Russian revolu-
tionary leader Altar, who Is said to
have his headquarters in New York.
