crime SUSPECT
is CAPTURED
5000 Mile Chase Ends in Appre-
hension Of Armenian Wanted
for Murder.
MAN IS ARRESTED IN ROMANIA
Two officers of Massachusetts, State
Police Leave for Bucharest to
Brinq Vahan Nalbandian Back
to This Country.

Roston. Mass, Feb. 1.-two Of
6cers OF the Massachusetts, state
roliee have left Boston for Buchar-
est Roumanla, to bring back Vahap
Nalbanaian, young American who
has been sought for several months,
charged with the murder Of Minas M.
Monjan In Lynn last summer At
,oc u chase of G,OOO miles Nalbandian
was arrested last week in Rour1ania.
The chase for Nalbaniau began last
fully. after he had been indicted foi
murder by the Essex county grand
Jury The police traced him first TO
New York, thence to England, and
then through Germany. Only by
jumping from one city to another did
the Young Armenian escape arrest
in Germany. on several occasions for
eign officials, acting through instruc-
tons from Lynn, were ready to lay
their hands on him only to ilnd he
had disappeared.
working south through Europe The
police lost trace of him, ana then re-
located him at Alexandria; Egypt.
Through an acquaintance of The Lynn
chief of police, who had been in Alex
andria, the chief got in communica-
ton with a mission priest i'm that city
and persuaded him to keep Lynn in
formed as to Nalhandian's movements.
The priest followed Nalbardan to
Slistra i'm Bulgaria. Here Naibanian
evidently thought himself safe. for the
police learned that he had started a
small clothing store there. The Lynn
police were beginning to despair of
again getting track of the murder sus-
pect when they received a cablegram
stating that he had been arrested,
The Massachusetts authorities lost no
time in getting eStradition papers and
despatchng two officers on the long
journey to bring back Nalbandian to
answer to the charge of murder.
a peculiar feature of the case is
that the evidence against Nalbandian
is almost wholly circumstantial. Nor
jan. the victim of the tragedy, met
his death i'm a Lynn rooming-house in
which both he and Nalbandian lived.
Monjians body was found in a trunk
in his room with a bullet wound in
the heart. Nalbandian was missing.
The police found that Monjian had
had several hundred dollars, which
also disappeared.
AS a result of their first investiga-
tion into the death of Monjian the
police came to the opinion that the
mans death was accidental and that
Nalbandian had sought to hide the
body and then fled through fear The
men were friends. and had been seen
chatting pleasantly shortly before the
tragedy. Nalbandian had a good char
acter in Lynn, but the police subse-
quently learned that he was "A menu
Der of an Armenian secret S. .ety and
they believe that this may lsYe had
something to do with the alleged
murder, If robbery did not furnish the
motive. One OF the mysterious fea-
lures of the case was the fact that
the bullet which killed Monjian has
never been found. 1t was neither in
ms body nor i'm the room.

GRAND JURY BEGINS THE
SWOPE INVESTIGATION

Kansas City, Feb. 14.-The grand
jury today began AN investigation OF
the Swope mystery. The taking of de-
positions in the civil suit brought by
Hyde against John Ct. Paxton for al
legged slander was resumed at the Of
flee of Frank p. Walsh, Hyde's attorn-
ey. Paxton. resuming his story of sick
ness and death in the Swope family.
Swope Fortune is Large.
Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 14.-At an
appraisement of the estate of Thomas
III. Swope to determine how much in
heritance tax must be paid by the heirs
il was learned that the philanthropists $
holdings amounted to more than $S,-
100000. OF this more than $3,OOO,OOO
is taxable. and it will take more than
the amount of the personal property,
which is about $151,0OO, to pay the
minor legacies.
The reason for the appraisement and
the subsequent taxation is due to a
law which provides that when a per-
son dies without direct heirs per
cent of the estate goes to the state
university. The appraisement was
made by ]. ]. Vineyard, j. j. Taylor
and John A. Kurtz.
1t was shown that the share of Mrs.
Hyde, who before her marriage was
Miss Frances Swope. will be about
$4,000. The share OF five other ne
phews and nieces. including Chrisman
Swope. who died soon after Col. Swope,
Lucy Lee Swope. Margaret Swope,
stella Swope and Sarah Swope amount
by the provisions of the will to about
S443. 600 each.
