MURDER PLOT.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 2S.-InSica-
tons of a gigantic international
plot, with branches already trac-
ed from Servia to New York, Chi
cago, Boston and Fresno, Cal,
are fast following the discovery
in a trunk i'm New York of the
body OF Father Kasper Haran,
the Armenian priest. Detectives
here and men connected with
foreign consulates believe the
priest was murdered because he
possessed secrets dangerous to
the plotters. The fact that the
trunk in, which his body was
found came from Chicago led to
inquiry, which showed the same
trunk probably carried the body
of a murdered man TO New York
from suburb here a few weeks
ago. But for the insistence of the
New York woman who held the
trunk for delayed room rent. IL
would have been shipped away
and the murder would have re-
manned unknown except TO the
band of conspirators.
