After soaring into public ree-1 .ignition by his plucky flight froii. * 1 Paris across the English Channel to ji.ondon, with a pessenger, Moisant's i fearlessness and resourcefulness | were exhibited frequently. Finding ! himself without a machine, he purchased one from a friend for $10.uoo and within ten minutes, starting i on his winning flight from Belmont j Park, N". Y., around the statue of I Liberty, winning a prize of $10,000. Saturday a sudden puff of wind i I caught him within 500 feet of the | earth, turned his machine over and i ^ a broken neck terminated his career. ^ iiovticy's Ikxly PnwUol to Pirn's. Arch Hoxsey, after a year of uni. ( v ft rm success with the Wright aeroJ .( . planes, had gained a name for daring and competence in the air. Only i* within the week he had set a new world's altitude record of 11,474, I and then to show his contempt for the eurth, had sailed majectically j more than 4,000 feet above Mount 'y Wilson. To-day he ran afoul of ; fj the same kind of boiling, treacher- : n our wind when some 500 feet from 1 \ the earth, and a minute later a hor- j rified crowd, aroused from its shock, was ruBhing madly to where j h tn broken mass of humanity lay be-j (ncath a torn bit of canvas and some ] * broken spars. ' Both met death in almost the i j. same manner. Each machine was r headed for the earth and suddenly seemed to stop, hover in the air. ; then "turn over on to its nose," j and dive headlong to the earth?| K* and to destruction. Fell Headlong T.irough the Air. SMoisant's aeroijKune was a Bier- j iot monoplane, awl in addition to i the heavy engine in front of the , main planes he had* fastened a 1"* tank holding 3 5 gallons of gasoline. ! Aviation experts believe a sudden puff of wind stopped his machine dead in the air and the heavy j weight ahead drugged tlie light gk ) framework behind it, flipping the , ' ! then useless elevator,. From bis po- j ^ j sitlou partly back* of the main |) t planes, Moisaut was flipped >ut, ^ \ elpar of the machine, and struck ; D I the ground on his head, breaking j > his neck.

As in the morning's ^ tiagedy, the rear elevator, render- j " j ed useless when the monientum n j' was gone, flipped around, helpless j, | to aid the fated machine. lioxsey i vainly endeavored* to right his craft i A / oy warping the main planes and by ; u ^ I use of the rudder. Vain attempts, t A,l these, for before sufficiet moment- j t tm was gained the frail structure n j-J wac crumpled upon the earth, the _ jffl heavy engine being torn loose. . Only a few farmers and aids saw a Moisant hurled to hisd eath, but j 11 Hoxsey's end came before the hor- j r JQf rifled gase of thousands who had j il come out in the pleasant afternoon v u> watch the hlrdinen darting here j < SM and there through the air. ?

He was a oiivict. 111 a period of five years te had been il lowed to leave the ell only two times, except for the ew minutes of each day in which ic was tui ned into the narrow, vailed alley at the rear for "exerise." His cell was 8 by 12 feet in limensions?the size of the average rave lot. In this room he Had K>en forced to eat, sleep and work:ili3 meals were passed to him hrough the grated door. The niaerials for his daily task were handid to him in the same manner. He r.ade cigars. I believe. In the evening the product of his toil was takin from him in a similar fashion, rhree times each day a rude tray was passed through the bars with his prison fare. On Sundays the iipsir nit surtiwm of Hip chanel ser vie r floated to him down the cor |idor, for he was not even allowed to leave his cell for worship. A.1 the back of his cell was a small in i losed yard, perhaps 10 b\ 12 feel In size.

This man, like that other figurt at the Eastern State Penitentiary, ii a convict, he has stolen and iiai been sent to prison for theft. Tin first man was a burglar and goi away with something less than $10t worth of spoons and cheap jewelry The second man was a bank presi dent and got away with something more than $100,oou in cold cast and gilt-edged bonds. The first man would have been penniless had be lived to leave the cell. The second man, it is said, has hidden enough of his plunder to insure him a life of luxury after his sentence.
