The police are now prosecuting vigorous
search for Alexan Arzooan. the real head
Of the reformed" Hunchakists in this
country. He attended a picnic outside Of
Providence. r. l.. on Sunday night. at
which there was a lively bunch Of New
England Hunchakists. Inspector McCaf-
ferty heard of Arzooien and the picnic,
but when his men got to Providence Ar
zooian was not there.
That Arzooian was in Providence on
Sunday night Is a source Of satisfaction
to the police. as it was believed he had left
the country. Inspector McCaferty has
good photograph of Arzooian and he had
copies Of il struck of yesterday and sent
throughout the country. The pictures
show Arzooian as clean cut, smooth shaven,
with square jaw and large eyes. over which
were heavy spectacles.
Fourth Deputy Police Commissioner
Arthur Woods. who has been looking after
the Armenian cases. said last night that
Arzooian was the man he wanted. Com
missioner Woods and Inspector McCanerty
are Of the opinion that when Arzooian is

point out that until Father Martoogessian
was put in the Tombs very little evidence
had been obtained against him.
District Attorney Jerome has given up
hope Of getting a confession from Bedros
Hampartzoomian. the actual murderer Of
Tavshanjan. the rug merchant. A man

him to do the killing got this answer:
"Why should tell? If did and they let
me go free. would he killed by those that
told me TO kill Tavshanjian. Iwould rather
be put to death by the Government than
by my oountrymen."
Inspector McCafferty of the Central Office
said last night that had the District Attor-
ney's Office made an effort 10 have Paul
Sarkisian extradited. Tavshanjian proba-
bly, would never have been murd cred.
Sarkisian was arrested at McCafferty's re-
quest at Marseilles, France. He was
wanted for his part in the murder of Father
CaspaT Nartarian. the Armenian priest
whose body was found in Sarksian's 3 trunk
in Sarkisian's fiat at 333 West Thirty-sev-
enth street.
Il didn't think 80 at the time, but the
recent investigation has shown me that
these three murders were all a part of this
Hunchakist group" said McCafferty last
night. They hung out at the Ararat
restaurant in Twenty seventh street, where
We arrested Father Mart oogessian and
found 40 much Hunchakist literature.
Martoogessian spent much time during
the day in the restaurant in West Fortieth
street, where Sarkisian was a waiter. We
have learned that Father Caspar was in
strIcted by Tavshanjian and other well to do
Armenians to tell the small Armenian busi-
ness men not to submit TO blackmail by
Martoogessian, Arzooian and others am
convinced that it was for this reason he was
murdered. strange feature of the case
is that Just eleven days after Sarkisian's
release Tavshanjian was murdered From
what have learned the Armenian black
mailers here got an idea they could 90
ahead and kill whom they pleased. expect
ing to escape arrest and conviction.
Jelalian, who in said to have pointed
out Tavshanjian for murder. was arraigned
yesterday before Judge Foster in General
SSssions and held in IS. 900 bail as a witness
Cooznijian, the restaurant keeper at 1877
East Twenty eighth street. was also held
in bail as a witness.

up to the fact that he was tool for the
blackmailers. and Boraiian, the twenty
year-old Armenian. were sent to farm
