APPEARS TO Be A
POLITICAL MURDER
President Of Armenian Revolu.
tlonary Society in Lon
don Is Killed.
MURDER ONE IN A SERIES
The Victim, sasouni, Was Wealthy and
Conservative, and 1t is Be-
lieved Radicals Among His
People Are Guilty.

London, Oct 29-Sagatel Sagouni, the
president of the Armenian revolutions
airy society in London, was murdered in
a suburb at Nunhead late yesterday.
The crime created a sensation as it has
every appearance of q political char
acter and has been preceded by the
assassination of other officials of the
same society on the continent. The
murderer. who was unknown. escaped.
Sagouni, who only returned to Lon
don yesterday after settling up the aft
fairs of an associate in Switzerland,
who was recently assassinated by stab
bling, Was entering his residence when
a man rushed across the road and fired
four shots at Sagouni in quick success
sion; the last bullet entering the region
OF the heart. The murderer, who APP
peared to be foreigner. fled.
The only clues TO the man in posses
sion of the authorities arc felt hat
and silver plated revolver, both made
in New York, which he dropped in his
Hight. The murdered man, who was a
mining engineer became wealthy in the
Caucasus. and devoted his money to
entirely passive and opposed to vio-
lence. and it is thought this attitude in
spired the advanced section of the Ar
menians With a desire for Vengeance
the latter claiming that Sagoun:'s So
ciety devoted funds To charity which
would have been better applied to vio-
lent remedies. Sagoun is said TO have
moved TO England from New York
early in 1902.
Little Political Significance.
Boston, Oct. 27.-The murder of Sag
atel Sagouni, president of the Ar
menian Revolutionary society in Lon
don, is not regarded rs being of great
political significance by the Armenians
in this city, but rather rs the result of
4 bitter feeling which exists between
the two factions within the revolutions
ary party itself
In supporting this it was cited the
recent attempt to assaSsnate an Ar
menian editor, Peter Kuregian, in this
city by members of the revolutionary
party said to hold socialistic views
which kuergian opposed.
At the trial of the case an officer of
the party testified that members of the
socialist wing which had taken an oath
