Members to end cult
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — Papers to
“wind up and dissolve” the Peoples
Temple were filed in Superior
Court Monday by the four surviving
directors of the church.
The directors said they were tak
ing the action because “in light of
the tragedies that occurred in Jones
town, Guyana, it is practically and
morally impossible for the corpora
tion to continue its existence.”
They said they would devote all of
the temple’s assets to “recompense
the families of the victims of the
events in Guyana,” and to pay
claims against the church. They also
set aside $1 million for burial ex
penses for the 917 church members
who died at the Jonestown settle
ment in Guyana.

NEW YORK — Sealed arrest warrants have been issued to the FBI
for people believed responsible in the Guyana slaying of Rep. Leo]
Ryan, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
In a report from San Francisco, the Times, quoting federal law
enforcement sources, said less than a dozen warrants had been is
sued, all for Peoples Temple members.
The California congressman and three American journalists were
shot to death Nov. 18 at an airstrip near the cult’s settlement in
Jonestown, Guyana, apparently because they planned to take several
disenchanted cult members back to the United States with them
Ryan had gone to Guyana to investigate charges the Rev. Jim Jones
was holding some of his followers against their will.
Hours after Ryan’s death, Jones and more than 900 Peoples Tem
ple members committed suicide.
One cult member, Larry Layton, already is being held by
Guyanese authorities on murder charges in Ryan’s death. ?
The Times said the FBI has not determined the whereabouts of the
other suspects and quoted one source as saying at least some of them
were "presumed to be dead.”
The warrants were issued in New York because the survivors of the
mass suicide have been returning to the United States on (lights
coming to Kennedy International Airport.
The Times said FBI agents carrying arrest warrants were meeting
the returning cult members but the newspaper said the agency would
say publicly only that it was seeking four fugitives who had (led to
Guyana some time ago and who had no known direct connection with
the cult.
