|-(P)-An attempt to break the
newly established endurance flight

at the start. They hope to remain
in the air 300 hours or more and
promised that if they passed the
3OOth hour they would fly their
plane until it falls to pieces In the

leo as the slayer Of an entire family
in Mexico City, a 22-year-old man

held under orders of General Julio
Hernandez Serrano, commander Of
the Matamoros military garrison.

MatamoroS authorities a secret SER

Is now on his way to the border to
establish the identity Of the suspect.
Carried Jewelry
The man held, on being searched.
was found to be carrying a box of
jewelry. Comparison of the rogueS'
gallery portraits disclosed a striking
likeness, the officers said. A scar on
the left thumb, moleS on the right

man held and the picture Of the flu
gitive slayer.
Giving as his name Rodolfo Es-

detailed guard, by special orders Of
Chief of Police Librado Salinas.
Chief Salinas said the suspect. will
be released at once if he is not the
man wanted.
The crime for which CarraSco Is
sought was committed about two
months ago on Matamoros street in
Mexico City. 1t startled the whole
country by its cold-bloodedness and
completeness. An entire family,
father, mother, and four children
were slain by a man who apparently
had as his motive robbery. Later a
m~aidservant came to the house. to
report for duty. She was murdered.
as was a. male servant later. All
we're killed with a machete. The
slayer then killed the dog, cat, and
parrot in the house.

caped from the Mexico City jail, be-
lieved headed for the United States.
