Girl Jumps From High Aeroplane Valley Stream, N. Y., Nov. 12.? .VlisR Ruth Rockwell, 18 years old, of Philadelphia, committed suicide by leaping 2,000 feet from an airplane which she hired at the Curtiss airport yesterday. She explained her act in a note which was found in her purse in the cabin of the plane. The note read: "Most people end their lives because something sad has happened to them. 1 end mine because it seems not only futile but wrong to go on existing. I blame no one and feel I have no enemies. I will probably be considered insane as any one taking his life is supposed to be slightly insane. "I would like to send my regards to Miss Sheers in Drew seminary at Carmel, N. Y. My check for $175 in the suitcase in the closet ut home may help pay my burial expenses: I am very happy now. "I am wondering if the newspapers will decide to devote any space to me. I am wondering if I will And time to think of the past as I whirl through space as it is said that a drowning man does when struggling in the water. "I long for harmony. Maybe yet I will ilnd it, maybe sweet music? "If I find any sort of life or corre-| sponding time after death, I will tryto communicate with my immediate relatives at 9 o'clock some evening for a while. "During my life time, I think my one fault was deception. I have lied .repeatedly about small things but unfortunately I forget what these small things were. I have no guilty conscience whatsoever, I feel" Mias Rockwell went to the airport from the home of her brother, Donald Rockwell, in Yonkers, N. Y? with whojn she has been living' recently. In the operations office of the Curtigs-Wright Flying service she told William B. White, traffic manager, that she wanted to fly high. | "I asked her how high," he said, | "and she only replied, 'real high.' 1 "I asked her if 20,000 feet would he high enough and she answered in the | affirmative. I told her that the charge ^ for such a flight would be high. " 'Well', sfie said, 'I just wanted to gt^for a $5 flight, that is all I have.' " ! Boot#, the p1l0fc who was assigned to fly the small cabin monoplane placed at the girl's disposal, in a statement told how she questioned him regarding the operation of the doors before they took off and said he as1 sured her that the doors operated as ( ordinary doors. He said she also asked whether he would lose his head if anything unusual occurred in the air, to which he shook his head negatively. "I took off in a large circle and made altitude," said Booth, "when at about 1,500 feet I looked back and | saw that the passenger had her eyes tightly closed. Thinking that possibly she was frightened by a first flight, 1 again tried to speak to her and reassure her that everything was all 1 ight. As I turned the secoind time she opened her eyes and asked for our altitude. I said we were about 1,500 feet. She then indicated that i she wished to go higher, so. I continued a gentle climb, turning back over the Curtiss airport from the north. "At about 2,000 feet I felt the ship rise as if caused by rough air. That surprised me as' the air was smooth. It then occurred to me that when a door is opened the ship will rise slightly and veer. I then looked back to see the open door, caught a glimpse of the passenger falling through space about 20 or 30 feet away." Booth led airport officials to the Spot where the body was found about a mile north of the airport. Miss Rockwell graduated from Drew seminary last June. She was the daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Dean W. Rockwell, of Philadelphia. Her brother said his sister had often spoken of suicide. lie said she was fond of reading and hod done some writing.
