STILL GREAT NtYsTERY.

Out of two weeks of hectic investi-
cation by both American and Mexican
officials has come nothing that def
initely disproves the story. of abduc-
tion and escape told by Aimee Semple
MCPHERSON, Los Angeles evangelist,
when she reappeared here on June 23
after an absence of ,6days.
Assertions and counter assertions
all have fallen under the scrunity of
officers throughout the southwest and
have been sifted and re-sifted in an
attempt to clear up the mystery that
assumes a more tangled aspect each
day.
One hint of doubt of the story told
by the pastor of Angelus temple came
from Mayor Ernesto Boubion, who de-
clared after his investigation that he
believed Mrs. Mcpherson was taken
by automobile to a point near Aqua
Prieta on the night of June 22 and
there left to find her way into the
city early the following morning.
Bouboin's assertions, however, We're
scoffed at by the evangelist, although
the Los Angeles county grand jury,
which is investigating the mystery, has
invited him to appear before it..
Another story that is being probed,
was told by Q. f. Pape Of Tucson, who
asserted he saw a woman who re-
sembled Mrs. Mcpherson in the Inter-
national club at Aqua Prieta on the
night of June 20, three days before
her temperance. This story was
counter attacked by the statement
Friday night of tourist, who said his
wife apparently had been the woman
that. came under Papes scrunity on
that night.
Still another bit of information that
has been checked and rechecked came
from Yuma, where it was asserted that
H. d. Hallenbeck, Yuma rancher, and
friend fthe evangelist, had borrowed
a sum of money at the bank on the day
Mrs. Mcpherson disappeared at Ocean
Park beach.

the notice of officials was the identi-

gained their demands.
Hunger and futility of further re-

titude adopted by Warden w. IL
Mackey, supported by Governor Ben

rebellion.
The convicts released the cage in
the mine shaft, which they had tied
down yesterday, and were hoisted UP
in groups of IL. Shortly before they
sent word over the mine telephone
that they weer ready to surrende, a
threat had been made that the mine
would be destroyed Warden Mackey
held firm, however, and warned that
any damage to the mine would result
in prescriptions on charges of destroy
ing state property
w. Gleeson, one of the 1S guards
who had been marooned in the mine
with the prisoners was the first OF
ficer to reach the top. He made a
dash for the kitchen to obtain food.

Earlier today the convicts had tele-
phoned the officials their determine
tion to stay in the mine until their

they said they | would eat several
mules in the mine if necessary.
After bathing, the prisoners were
fed and locked up. Warden Mackey
said he would take no action against
the men tonight but that a thorough
investigation would be conducted next

him from beneath.
When pulled from beneath the car,
Travis was at first thought to be dead
