Kerman, and as it appeared that he had a peculiar intimacy with most of the
principal characters of Baluchistan and was in the habit of travelling about
from one to another, not as a mendicant but with horse and rifle, and was
well-qualified to be a political agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , it was considered advisable to make him
move on further afield. He was deported to Basrah in Isovember.

man in October. Prom enquiries it appeared that he had once served in the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company, that he iiad bem for a short time, in 1915, in
the employment of Wassmuss at Behbehan and that he had thence made his way
here via Yezd. As he was a Persian subject and there was nothirg definifc'e
against him and he seemed too stupid to be dangerous, steps w r ere taken to see
that he carried out his professed intention of proceeding on pilgrimage
to Meshed.
It has been found impossible to make headway with the case. It is
. . , universally stated here that the actual
Murderers of Farukhsnan, cousin of the Agna t tt u • p ■,
murderers were Uasnim, son of Ghulam
Hussain, and Saiyid Masballa, son of Saiyid Hassan. Beyond that, there are
varying tales as to the connection of other persons with crime It may he that
the Iftikbar-us-Sadat lent himself to forwarding the plot as believed by Colonel
Ducat, but if this is a fact, it would be absolately impossible to prove it. He was
already a persona grata with the South Persia Rifles when His Majesty's Consul
arrived, and he has made himself useful in various ways. He is not a man
to place faith in, but he is at present strongly and usefully pro-British and
will probably remain so as long as the British are dominant. The late Hono
rary Vice-Consul was, it is believed, inimical to him and to various others with
whom the relations of the Consulate in past years might otherwise perhaps
have been better.
Information has lately been received that the accused Hashim is in impri
