PRIEST LURED
To HIS DEATH
BY A WOMAN
Police Believe Armenian
Was Killed for Money
and Jewel.

NEW YORK, May 2S-A woman is
said by the police TO have lured to his
death Father Kaspar Vartanian, the
Armenian priest whose body was found
stuffed in a trunk IN West Thirty
seventh street tenement house. Rob
berry is also asserted to have been the
motive for the crime. although many
Armenians cling to the belief that the
priest was the victim of an Armenian
political society.
In tracing the priests movements the
police say they have learned that Var
tanian was with a woman. and that a
man who answers the description of one
OF his suspected slayers was seen near
the ferry, heading for New Jersey. on
Wednesday. Five hours later the trunk
in which the body was found reached
the Ihtrty-seVenth street house.
The police believe the woman was used
to lure the priest to Jersey and that
the murder was committed there. Ar
menian friends Of the priest have de
clarcd that he probably had $1,000 be
sides a valuable jewel, in the silk bag
he carried. This has caused the switch
TO the robbery theory.

worse disorders than those reported
yesterday are said to continue at Wons
Kong and Pakhei. The Triads are
continuing their campaign of assassina-

Riots have occurred at Cheung- Lama
and Tung-Chung, in the Ching-Hoi re-
gion. and the inhabitants have fed by
the thousand to Swatow for safety. The
latter city is oVerrun with refugees from
the disordered districts.
