Consulate by H.H.Consul, Bandar Hbas, from Sirjan on the 9th,
where he had hal ted on his way from Kerman to Bandar Abbas
The Officer Commanding, Gendarmerie, Birjaa, who
appears to have been better posted as to Murad’s whereabouts
than Sarhang Hatemi, had apparently offered to lead Sartip
Sha’ri G.O.C.,Kerman, to the bandits’ hide-out, but was merely
laughed at for his pains - Sha’ri’s answer being "Do you think
I came here to catch Murad myself Meanwhile Sha ri s go-
-between contacted Murad, who agreed to pay ‘-'ha ri rials 100,000/
and to leaev the district for a place between Rafsinjan and Yez<| f
if the Military would call off operations. Murad's men are now
'colleoting’ the riels 100,000/- from local landowners and pea- ^
-sants who had already suffered financially by *entertaining* Sha
-'ri and the military. Hatemi is reported to have got away with
a quantity of carpets, household goods and valuables from vil-
-lage headmen, in return for not accusing them of collaborating
with Murad, ^he last act of the comedy has opened with the
arrival of certain mysterious gentlemen from Fars who are nego-
-tiating with Shari’s representatives for the purchase of ammu-
-nition said to have been expended against Murad. The Military
representatives are holding out for rials 140/- per round and
no deal has yet been concluded. This together with spurious
bills for petrol consumed, rations, wear and tear of equipment,
rounds off what must have been a most lucrative expedition.
