DEAD PASHA TO
BE AVENGED BY
BLOOD BROTHER
f
PARIS, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—Vengeance for the assassina
tion of Essad Pasha, head of the Al
banian delegation here, is being quiet
ly awaited by a “blood brother” of the
Balkan leader, according to a circum
stantial story by a French writer, pub
lished by the Excelsior.
This man, now rich and influential
in France, the story goes, was one
of several poor young men who 30
years ago met Essad Pasha, then
known* as the “Black Dagger of Abdul
Hamid” in Constantinople, when he
crowded into a card game and insisted
upon playing with them. Fearing
Essed Pasha, they protested they were
too poor to play with him, but he in
sisted, emphasizing it by placing his
revolver on the table as a threat.
To meet this, the “blood brother”
put down his dagger, poisoned, he said.
Essed Pasha Pasha showed his sur
prise, then his pleasure.
“Young man,” he exclaimed, “this is
the first time anyone has dared defy
me. Men like you are rare.”
Essad Pasha took his own dagger,
opened a vein in his wrist and also
in that of the young man, each sucked
a few drops of blood from the other
and they became “blood brothers,” ac
cording to Albanian customs, sworn
to avenge each other’s death.
“I am ready,’ ’this “brother” now is
quoted as saying, “to keep my oath,
but I have confidence that French
courts will make it unnecessary for
me to interfere.”
Rustem Aveni, arrested on the spot
for shooting down Essad Pasha as the
latter was entering his automobile in
the downtown district recently, is
awaiting trial. He was a student who
posed as the avenger of Albanian
wrongs.
