has lived in Topeka, and who owns a
large garden tract near Oakland. disap-
peared a week ago from his home, and
nothing has been heard from him since.
His relatives do not know whether he
has merely run away from home, or
whether he has dorwned himself in the
river. 1t is said that he has meditated
suicide.
Mr.. Patzell's domestic life has been
rather UNPLEASANT for him. if some re-
ports may be believed 1t is stated that
he quarreled frequently with his wife,
and that his home was made decidedly
uncomfortable for him. His sudden dis
appearance is due to this family in
felicity.
There are number of children in the
family, nearly all of whom have grown
up and married. Mr.. Patzell's sons are
much worried about their father. and
suspect that he became respondent and
threw himself into the river.
Nearly all the grocers and commission
men are well acquainted with Patzell,
as he made his living selling garden
truck raised on his place He was a
man about so years of age.

He KILLED TWO MORE.
Assassin of Sagouni Winds Up
by Committing Suicide.

London, Nov. 5.-The dramatic murder
of Sagatel Sagouni, president of the
Armenian Revolution society in London
on the night of October % has been fol-
lowed by the assassination of two more
delegates to the Armenian convention
here. The suicide of the assassin, though
he has not yet been identified 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 head
quarters at Peckham Rye. The two
victims were shot down from behind at
close range. The murderer fired twice
at third member of the group but
missed him, and then attempted to llee
Seeing that his escape was cut off, he
drew another revolver and shot himself
with his left hand. 1t is considered a
significant fact that the assassin of
Sagouni was also left handed.
The names of the murdered Armeni-
ans were Agram Grigorian and Sigran
Szmician. Their companion, who es-
capped assassination was Reuben Gja-
berlian.
1t is believed the identity of the as.
SasSin may remain unsolved unless he
has been previously in the hands of the
police, when the scars on his face may
render identity easy. A member of the
Armenian revolutionary said last night
to the Associated Press:
THE murderer is undoubtedly an
Armenian but he is not one of our peo-
pie He looks like a man from the in
terror districts" The costume of the
assassin was of a curious mixture. A
new light overcoat and a new black
derby hat gave him a respectable exter-
ior, but his serge suit was extremely
ragged and his shoes were much worEA
His shirt was shabby, while his under
clothing were new and of fine quality.
In his pocket he carried cloth cap
apparently like that said to have been
bought by the slayer of Sagouni on the
night of the latter's assassination. It
was much too large and its size had
been reduced by several rough stitches.
1t is evident that the plan of the assas-
sin 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 a disrepu-
table street 1oafer, but, his escape being
cut Off he determined to commit suicide
rather than to submit to capture. This
series of crimes in hitherto quiet sub
urb has brought terror to the Armeni-
ans who fear to leave their headQuar-
ters except under police protection. The
police while believing the murderer of
Sagouni and the assassin of the Ar
menians are identical, fear continuation
of the murderous vendetta and point
to the ease with which the. assassin es-
capped them after the killing of Sagouni.
Tt indicates, they say, that the murder
er was harbored and given another set
of clothing by accOmplices.
