Murder of Governor at Dervent and Robber Attack In Asia
An account from Smyrna on April 13 describes the murder of Alun Husseyn Effendi, the new Governor, by robbers near Dervent after his guards deserted. His wife was assaulted while he defended them, and the couple’s luggage was looted. The incident sparks fear of Court action against local officials and prompts militia mobilization as authorities pursue the gang led by Emir Ali.
