“It is hoped that the first part
of Andree's diary wills be found
among the books," Horn told the
press. “The book found on An-

The bodies were not iced as they

Other reports quoted him as
saying that only two skeletons and
a few bones of a third body were
found. 1 •
The Morgenbladet said today,
that the Norwegian woman flyer,
Gisken Jakobsen, was the first
person aboard the Brattvaag, the
whaler that brought the remains
of the Andree expedition back to
civilization, when the ship reached
Skjervoey. Dr. Horn told her that,
unfortunately, the bodies were
damaged and disintegrated.
Andree's body was reported to
be almost a skeleton. The skull

ATLANTA, Sept.1.—Hope of
early resumption of work on the
long-delayed Confederate Memor-

revived today by arrival of Gut-
son Borglum, noted sculptor who
conceived the project years ago
and later dropped the work when
sponsors of the project disagreed.
Despite indictments pending
against him here charging mali-
cious mischief in allegedly des-
troying his models when he quit
the job, Borglum arrived Sunday
for a conference with Mayor-
elect James L. Key and J. Law-
rence McCord, leader of “peace

A MARILLO, Sept. 1.—Dis-
A regarding his last re-
quest, relatives planned to
conduct funeral services to-
day for A. D. Payne, prom-
inent attorney who killed
himself with a blast of ni-
troglycerine to atone for
murdering his wife with a
dynamite bomb.
Payne had requested in
last notes, written in jail,
that he be buried beside
his wife at Llano Cemetery,
here. Mrs. Payne's relatives
refused to allow his, burial
there, so his body was to be
taken to the family plot of
his brother, Sidney, at Tu-
lia. Texas.
It was believed Payne's
three children, La Dell. 13;
A. D. Jr., 11, and Bobbie
Joe, 9, might attend the fu-
neral. They had forgiven
him for killing their mother
and visited him in his cell:
Friday night only a few
hours before he blew him-
self to pieces.
