Bodies of Men Missing Since August 2l Ire Brought Home: Messages on
 Wings Told the Story.

San Diego, Oct. 26-It was officially announced here tonight that Lieuts Cecil H. Connolly of San Diego and Frederick B. Warehouse of Weiser, Ida, army aviators, missing since Aug ust 21, were slain in Lower California by two Mexican fishermen
 The announcement was made upon the arrival here of the destroyer Ar ron Ward, bringing the bodies of the two aviators from Bahia, Los Angeles, on the Gulf of Lower California, to their way in a border patrol flight from Yuma, Arid, to SanDiago.
 According to Maj. R. S. Bratton i head of the military party sent from here to recover the bodies, the slayers were from Mexican sloop, their identity is known to the United States and Mexican governments and steps are being taken to capture them
 The destroyer also brought a part of story of the suffering endured by the young aviators, in the form of notes scrawled in part on the wings and fusilage of their DeHaviland air plane. in which Connolly and Water house made their last flight Some of these messages, evidently written when the aviators had almost lost hope of being found, We're of such a tragic nature that Major Bratton ask ed the newspaper reporters to refrain from using them, one of consideration l for the officers families.

Nineteen Days Without Food.

Major Bratton said that the two av- iators had gone 19 days without food, or at least without much to sustain them The fate that drew them from their air path remained with them un- til the very last. Maj. Theodore Mac Auley. in one of his fights to find them, flew within 60 miles of the spot where they stood guarding their plane. Later, on the afternoon of September 6, they were landed from canoe on the shor- es of Los Angeles by the same fisher men who are accused of killing them five days later, and at that time were only r miles from Los Flores silver mine, where they might have received protection and food
 One of their messa ges, scratched on the airplane fusilage with knife or nail. gave details of how the aviatOrs lost their way The message said they remained in the air for four hours and five minutes: that they ran into rain storm and lost their sense of direc- tion When they sighted the Gulf of California, they thought they were fly ing up the coast, instead of southWard along the east coast of the Gulf of California
