RESULT OF PLOT?

BY our own Wire. Publishers Press
LONDON May 3O.-With the admis-
sion by Scotland Yard onclals that
they are searching for alleged accom-
plices Of Father Caspar Vartanian. tho
Armenian priest murdered IN New
York, the greatest interest In the case
has been aroused here. The fact that
one suspect is supposed TO be already
under arrest has Increased the interest.
No Information Of their hunt for ac-
completes has been given out by the
Detective Bureau, and the reported ar
rest is not confirmed. but the public
generally believes important develop
ments in the murder hunt win occur
here.
II Is known that Scotland Yard Is in
clined TO view the murder in the light
OF an outgrowth OF an Armenian or
Servian plot. They are familiar with
such conspiracles, often being called
on to run down suspicious characters
wanted for such plots and they think
the New York murder has all the ear
mark Of such an affair.
