TWO MORE FALL
 BEFORE SLAYER Armenian Delegates Shot Down
 in London Street ASSASSIN KILLS HIMSELF
Like the Dramatic Murder of Sagouni, the Latest Crimes Are Shrouded In Mystery and Police
 Are at Loss.

London, November A-The dramatic murder of Sagatel sagouni, president of the Armenian revolutionary society in London on the night of October 26 was followed this evening by the assassination of two more delegates to the Armenian convention here. The suicide of the as- sassin, though he has not yet been identi- fled, gives good reason to believe that he also was the slayer of Sagouni.
 The murders were carried out in the most daring manner, more so than was the assassination of Sagouni. They took place in the early afternoon, close to the Armenian headquarters. The two victims were shot down from behind at close range. The murderer fired twice at a third member of the group, but missed him, and then attempted to flee. Seeing that his escape was cut off he drew an- other revolver and shot himself with his left hand It is considered a significant fact that the assassin of Sagoun was also 1eft-handed.
 The names of the murdered Armenians were Agram Grigorian and Sigran Szmi- clan, and their companion who escaped assassination was Reuben Giaborlian.
 Assassin Unknown.
 It Is believed that the identity of the assassin may remain unsolved unless he has been previously in the hands of the police, although the scars on his face may render Identification possible.
 I he costume of the assassin was of curious mixture. A light new overcoat and a new black derby hat gave him re- speetable exterior, but his serve suit was extremely ragged and his shoes were much worn. His shirt was shabby, while his underclothes were new and of fine quality. In his pocket he carried cloth cap apparently that said to have been bought by the slayer of Sagouni on the night of the latters assassination. It was much too large, and its size had been reduced by several rough stitches. It is evident that the plan of the assassin in making his escape had been to discard his overcoat and the derby hat and to wear the cap, which would have given him the appearance of dsreputable street loafer, but his escape being cut off he determined to commit suicide rather than submit to capture.
 Armenians Terrified.
 This series of crimes in a hitherto quiet suburb has brought terror to the Armen- ians. who fear to leave their headquar- ters except under police protection. The police, while believing that the murder of Sagouni and the assassination of the Ar menians today are identical, fearing a continuation of the murderous vendetta, point to the ease with which the assassin escaped them after the killing of Sagouni. It indicates they say, that the murderer was harbored and given another suit of clothing by accomplices.
 A prominent police officer said tonight to the Associated Press:
 I've are utterly in the dark regarding this case. Heretofore we have looked up- on the Armenians as an inoffensive class and have not coupled them with Nihilists or anarchists, with whom we are well acquainted. There is not a man in Scot land Yard who is at all familiar with the Armenians in London. We don't know where to begin the work of unraveling these we'll arranged and successfully car ried out killings"
