Brown made his decision Sun day night before he left for Chi cago. With the statement issued here yesterday, he said he would have no more to say about the case Chessman was convicted in 1948 on 17 counts of kidnaping, robbery and attempted rape.

But the mystery that surrounded his life continued in death. His associates charge he was the victim of a Mosco - w-directed mur der plot. Police say he seems to have committed suicide, but are completely in the dark as to the motive. The body of 50-year-old Bandera was found Thursday noon in the staircase hall of his secluded Mu nich home, one of the many hide outs from which he directed an estimated million nationalist Ukrainians. Initially, he was believed to have died in a fall, but doctors performing the autopsy found traces of poison in his stomach. A policeman said the fact he swallowed poison pointed to a suicide. He said he doubted any assassin would dare force a man to take poison in a crowded apartment house. Georgi Lennik, Bandera's depu ty at the exile newspaper "The Road to Freedom," told a report er: "We are convinced he was killed by the Bolsheviks. Bandera would have gladly died on the battlefield but never thought of suicide. But the question remains: How was he made to take the poison?"
