ONE OF SEVERAL WHO HAVE BEEN MURDERED. Bitter Fight Between Factions, One for Peace and Other for War, and Latter Resorts to Assassination. LONDON, Oct. 27.—Sngatel Sagount. President of the Armenian Revolution- ary Society in London, has been mur- dered in the suburbs of Nunhead. The crime haa created a sensation, as it has every appearance of being of a political character and has deen pre- ceded by the assassinations of other of- ficlals of branches of the same society on the Continent. Sagouni is said to have moved to Eng- land from New York early in 1902, Followed from New York. Sagount, who only returned to London yesterday after settling up the affairs of an associate in Switzerland who was recently assassinated by stabbing, was entering his residence when a man rushed across the road and fired four shots at him in quick guccession, the last bullet entering the region of the heart. The murderer, who appeared tu be @ foreigner, fled. The only clues to the man in possession of the author- {tles are @ felt hat and a silver-plated revolver, both made in New York. which he dropped In hia flight. Told of Stealings, The murdered mam, who was a mining engineer, became wealthy in the Cat casus and devoted his money to th: Armenian cause, His society was en- trely passive and opposed to violence. and it is thought this attitude inspired the advanced section of the Armentane with the desire for vengeance, the lat- ter claiming that Sagouni’s society de- voted funde to charity which woula have been better applied to violent remedies for the Armenian grievances. It is stated that Sagouni's life had been threatened on account of his par- tlelpation in the exposure by the editor of a Boston newspaper.
