editStage Photo Artist Dies In Auto Crash. John De Mirjian's Car Skids Into Ditch While Going Seventy Mites an Hour. Actress With Him Hurt. Roadster Overturns on Jericho Turnpike. He Had Made Pictures of Celebrities. Special to The New York Times. Syosset, Long Island, September 24, 1928. John De Mirjian, a New York photographer of stage celebrities, with a studio at 1,559 Broadway, was killed early today when his automobile skidded and overturned on the Jericho Turnpike here. In the Peerless roadster in which Mr. De Mirjian was headed toward New York was Mrs. Gloria Christy, an actress, of 58 Central Park West, New York. She was slightly injured and was taken to the Nassau County Hospital at Mineola suffering from shock. James E. Richard of Riverhead, Long Island., and George Cornwell of this town found Mrs. Christy standing near the overturned car, which they lifted from the body of the dead photographer. Lieutenant Carney of the Syosset Precinct of the Nassau County police when he was summoned was told by Mrs. Christy that De Mirjian was driving seventy miles an hour when the machine skidded, struck a ditch and overturned. Mrs. Christy said she had asked De Mirjian to drive more slowly. De Mirjian's body was taken to Stock's Morgue in Hicksville. Coroner Andrew Heberer of that town said he would hold an inquest. The county police said they had not learned where the automobile was coming from. Arto De Mirjian, brother of the dead photographer, with whom he worked in the Broadway studio and who lives at 609 West 169th Street, said yesterday that Mrs. Christy was not related to his brother. The Nassau police were quoted as saying that she was his half-sister. Mr. De Mirjian said his brother and Mrs. Christy had been weekend guests at a house party on Long Island. He could not say where. His brother, he said, had known Mrs. Christy for several years. Another brother is Souren De Mirjian of this city, and two sisters are Mrs. Vartoohi Elvy and Miss Earjoohi De Mirjian of Brooklyn. At 58 Central Park West it was said yesterday that Mrs. Christy would remain at the Nassau County Hospital until today and that she could not be interviewed before then.
