KILLED BY MOBILES
Powerful Confidante of Russian
Ruler Put Out of Way.
by International News service)

by international News SerVice)
London, Jan. As details continue
to come in from Petrtograd about the
violent death of the Russian monk
Rastutin. they weave themselves into
a tale which rivals the most fantastic
piece of fiction. Rastutin, who was
said to be the confessor Of the czar
is now reported to have been slain
by a Russian nobleman to hide a
scandal involving powerful members
of the Russian court. The body wa
found in the NeYa river.
Friday night two young men. both
members of the highest circles OF
Russian nobility. accompanied by an
other whose name is said to be mo-
torious throughout the Russian en-
pire for his intrigues, drove in a linn
CUISINE to a house owned by Prince
Yusuporf About O'Clock on Satur-
day morning, shots were heard in the
garden of the house. Soon afterward
two big motor cars drove up to the
house, one passing into the garden.
The authorities. having ben informed
of the shooting, went to the place and
found blood upon the snow. No body
was found. however.
Rastutin, who regarded himself as
a mystic with divine powers, WELD
ed greater influence at the Russian
court than any other man. He was
feared even by the most powerful no
bles. It has been said that he was
consulted by the car on matters OF
state, and that he was in the highest
councils on the eve of war Twice
before attempts had been made to
assassinate him.
