MEXICAN "RELICS."
A challenge to prove a charge that jewels reported to have been found in the ruins at, Monte Alban by Antonio Caso are false has been accepted by Kainon Mcna, a lawyer.
From the beginning of the exhibition of tho jewels at Mexico City by Senor Caso, who is also a lawyer, Senor Mena repeatedly asserted that the finds were faked. Voluminous correspondence between tho two at last resulted in the acceptance by Senor Mena of a demand that he and a group of experts meet and examine the jewels and then prove or retract their assertions.
Sonar Menu's imiin argument is said to be that the settings are soldered, and therefore arc recent fabrications. The experts at Monte Alhan insist they are thousands of years old.
