A search for mu /sup +/ yields e/sup +/ + e/sup -/ + e/sup +/ was conducted usin g counter techniques. The number of mesons stopped was 10/sup 9/; when multiplied by the efficiency for detectlng a threeelectron decay, the number became 1.7 x 10/sup 7/. Five events were seen and are probably due to the decay mode mu /sup +/ yields e/sup +/ + e/sup -/ + e/sup +/ + nu + nu -bar. Even assuming them to be due to mu /sup +/ yields e/sup +/ + e/sup -/ + e/sup +/, an upper limit of 5 x 10/sup -7/ is set for the branching ratio of this mode. (auth)
