SALEM. Mass. Feb. l4-After nav.
Ing eluded the police In a chase half
way around the world, only TO be run
to earth at last In little mountain
village of Bulgaria, Vahan Valbandian
was placed on trial here yesterday for
an alleged murder committed In Lynn,
in July, 1909. The victim OF the trag-
edy was Minas ]. Monjian, the friend
and room mate of Valbandia. One
day In July, 1909. Monjian's body was
found in trunk in his room with n
bullet through the heart. He had
been dead for several days when
found Nalbandian was missing The
police allege that Monjian had several
hundred dollars. which had also dis
appeared.
An Indictment for murder was re,
turned against Nalbandia and the hunt
for him began. The police chased him
to England. and then through Ger.
many. Only by jumping from one city
to another and keeping always on
the move did the fugitive escape arrest
In Germany For a time the police
lost trace OF him, and then he was
relocated In Alexandria, Egypt
Through an acquaintance OF the CHIEF
OF police OF Lynn, who had been in
| Alexandria. the Massachusetts, author
tiles got In communication with mis-
sion priest in the Egyptian city and
persuaded him to keep them inform
ed as to Nalbandian's movements.
The priest followed Nalbandian to
SIlistria In Bulgaria. Here NaIbandian
Ievidently thought himself safe, for the
police learned that he had started 8
small clothing store there. The Unit
ed States consul at Bucharest was
communicated with and Nalbandiar
was taken Into custody by the Bull
garian authorities and held to await
extraditlon.
| The evidence OF alleged murder ia
purely circumstantial SO far as Nal
bandian Is concerned. Since his con
finement in Jail here the young Bull
he shot Monjian, but declared It was
purely an accident This theory Ia
substantiated by the fact that the two
men were warm friends, and had been
seen chatting pleasantly together only
a short time before the killing is be
lieyed to have occurred. While Nal
bandian may have concealed the body
after the accidental killing and then
fled through fear. there Is much evi
dence to Indicate that he robbed his
friend. According to the statements
of his acquaintance the Young Bull
garIan was practically penniless before
the shooting. while afterward he evi
IDENTIFY had funds sufficient to take hin
to Europe and to travel over a large
section OF that continent.
