reBult tliat Dr, Listemann at last decided to dismiss his retainer. To this end Mr.
Krumpeter, Messrs. Wonckhous' then agent, armed with a letter from the German
Consul intimating his dismissal and enclosing his pay to date, proceeded with the
Consul's authority to the Mirza's house with the intention of arresting him or
seizing certain important documents which he was believed to hold.
Mirza Husein, however, escaped by a back door and took " bast" with a local
Mullah.
Monsieur Constant, the Belgian Provincial Director of Customs, Bushire,
about this time received instructions from Teheran to report to his Administration
concerning the case against Mirza JHusem, and informed my Commercial Adviser,
Mr. Chick, of the purport of a telegraphic report which he had sent towards the
latter part of March, which was to this effect,
"Herr Krumpeter had been deputed by the German Consul to hand Mirza
Husein a letter of dismissal and the salary due to him. The Mirza took to flight,
realising that he had been unmasked and convicted of extensive robberies on the
German Firm."
"Mirza Husein is now spending large sums of money in order to procure false
evidence from the Mullahs.
"Mirza Husein has long since been known to the Customs as an importer of
arms and is at the moment being prosecuted by the Customs for smuggling ten
rifles, and in this connection the Governor of Bushire has informed me that Mirza
Husein had sent him 150
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
as a bribe. He, Mirza Husein, is now haggling
as to the amount of fine which he should be called upon to pay. Mirza Husein,
$s an agitator and a rogue, whose downfall will be welcome by all honest mem
bers of the community."
Charges against Mirza Husein are still pending and, meanwhile, the German
Consul is withholding the rent of the German Consulate premises which belong to
Mirza Husein, in connection with his debt to the German firm.
Lastly, his old friends of the spring of 1909 have since turned against him and
recently got up an extensive round-robin (signed among others by his Nationalist
accomplice Mirza Ali, Kazeruni) in which they accuse him of being Saiyid Murte-
za's instigator and evil genius and demanded that he should be made to disgorge
©r refund the money which he had prompted Saiyid Murteza to plunder from the
Government Customs.
It will be seen that Mirza Husein has been thoroughly discredited; denounced
fey the Local Government; prosecuted by the Customs and the German firm for
dsshonesty and summarily dismissed from his post in the German Consulate.
I submit that we have ample grounds to mention, in our reply to the German
Rejoinder, that since the penning of it they must admit that the Dragoman, upon
whose integrity they relied, has been proved to be a thorough rogue and that they
will appreciate our inability to place reliance on his statements.
