The expedition will inspect sites al ready known and mapped. In cas its members find time toenter new fields however they will seek ruins not heretofore located. The Mexican government has offered to cooperate with the expedition under its policy of aiding legitimate explorers of the ancient pre-Spanish civilizations. The Mayas once spread over many thousand square miles.

Brown was released from the state prison at Walla Walla, several years ago after serving a 10-year term for the murder of his fourth wife, Mrs.

Josie Jackson Brown, formerly of this city. He went to Christianburg and made his home with his son-in-law, William Wadsworth, a storekeeper there. Today the aged felon rested in his grave after a final outburst of malevolence. Wadsworth had been missing money from his cash drawer. He finally caught Brown opening the drawer.

"Well, I caught you this time," Wadsworth exclaimed. The old man slunk off muttering to himself. Wadsworth checked up on his money, and then started to follow the old man. As he stepped from the store and walked toward his home, Brown appeared with a revolver and began shooting at Wadsworth. He failed to score a hit.

Wadsworth went in search of help while Brown retreated into the Wadsworth home. As Wadsworth and some neighbors- came back they saw the house on fire. The men rushed to fight the fire. They found Brown laughing at them from the stairway. He kicked Wadsworth in the face.

Apparently Brown had planned to cremate himself in the house. As the men looked on then, Brown slashed his throat with a razor. With blood streaming down his clothes, the aged man ran toward the kitchen. He opened the rear door and leaped into a 25-foot well. Neighbors pulled Brown out of the well.

He ran away from his rescuers again, eluded them and entered a nearby barn. There he fastened a1 long strap to his neck, tied one to the barn loft and jumped. The strap broke and Brown fell 12 feet and IKE EXPLORERS ON MEXICO TRIP Long Beach, Feb. 5 The steam yacht, Peary, used by Admiral Richard Byrd on an Arctic voyage two i years ago, will carry its owner, M.
