On Friday, July 18, 1924, during a religious ceremony, Major Robert Imbrie, American vice–consul at Teheran, was attacked and done to death by a fanatical mob that misunderstood or resented his presence. The outrage was peculiarly atrocious in that the mob after severely wounding Consul Imbrie pursued him into the operating-room of the hospital where he had been taken for relief and there pounded him to death.
