Russian Prince
Who Helped Stay
Rasputin Coming Here

New York, Nov. a2.-Prince Felix
YoussouDoff of Russia. who is reported
to have been the leader Of a group of
noblemen who slew Gregory Rasputin,
the monk WHO. as a confessor of the
czarina, was said to have eXerted a
considerable influence on the destinies
OF the empire, is to arrive tomorrow
on the Berengaria.
The prince in the days before the
revolution was one of the weathiest
mobiles in Russia. He is 50 years old,
the husband of Irene, daughter of
Grand Duke Alexander Michailovitch
and Grand Duchess Xenia. sister of the
late Car Nicholas, and a member. of
the Sumarokoff- Eston branch OF one of
the Oldest families in Russia.
The Staying of Rasputin was clothed
in mystery thrown around it by men,
hers of .czarist police. Nevertheless
the story quickly spread to the out
side world of how the monk had been
done away with by group of noble
men led by a prince and a former re-
dictionary member of the Duma. A large
motor car drove UP to Rasputin's house
December q. 1916, after nightfall, ac-
cording to the story. Two men accom-
panied the monk into the car which
drove to the Youssoupoff balance on
the bank of the Moika canal.
Shots were heard. Bloodstains were
found on the snow. To inquiries, at
tendants said:
"One of our dogs became mad and
he had to be shot"
The dogs carcass was produced and
police retired discreetly.
But another motor, bearing three
men. one of them appearing strangely
limp and lifeless in his great fur coat,
was seen speeding toward the river
Neva. The third day OF search led
police to a fresh hole in the ice of the
Neva. Later divers brought up Ras-
putins body.
With the advent of the new regime.
Prince Felix took up his residence in
poor hotel in Petrograd under an as
sumed name. Later he fed to London.
where in November four years ago
some of the Russian crown jewels
were stolen from his home.

Looking through her cards she told
him that the book had been G gift.
and that ths only person that had
