Crushed to Death at Feet of Ad- I
t
miring Thousands. f
At Bournemouth, Eng., the first H
flying tournament of the year was (
hmnirht to ? trauic clo86 Tuesday v
morning 'by the dramatic death of *
aviator, the Hon. Charles S. Rons,
third son of Lord Llangattock.
In the presence of a great company
of spectators, a majority of whom 41
"were ladies and children and many l
personal friends of the young avi- (
ator, the Wright biplane on which
lie was flying fell suddenly with ter- 1
rific speed froiii a height of 100 k
feet. It struck the ground close (
to the crowded grandstand, smashed '
into a tangled mass and before the
doctors and their assistants could
reach the spot Rolls was dead.
The event in which Rolls was competing
was for a prize for the aviator
alighting nearest a given mark.
The goal was directly in front of the
.grand stand where the spectators
were massed. He had risen to a
good height and then shut off his
motor and was gliding in a broad
circle to the mark.
"Without warning the tail piece r
of the biplaiie snapped off. The ma- '
chine gave a sudden lurch and the
framework crumpled up in the air.
"When it struck the groud it was
smashed to splinters. The doctors
found that Rolls iiad sustained a
fractured skull. The wreck of the
machine and twisted stays surrounded
the body so that there was difficulty
in extricating him.
Imediately after the result of
Roll's acident was known the com- 1
mlttee announced that flying wouiu
be suspended for the day.
Capt. The Hon. Charles Stewart 1
Rolls was thirty three years old and
was one of the most popular young
all around Knglish sportsman. His 1
death will he a great blow to aristocratic
sporting enthusiasts, with all
of wdioin he wus a great favorite.
At ballooning, motoring and later ir. I
the held of .aviation he had distinguished
hirpself by his utter fearlessness
and was satisfied with nothing
short of record breaking in
whatever line of sport he took to.
Undoubtedly his crowning feat
was his round trip across the chan- <i
nel between Dover and Calais in \
his Wright biplane 011 June 2 last.
Two Frenchmen, Louis Bleriot and (
<V)unt de Lesseps, already had cross- f
ed the channel and Hubert Latham
had almost succeeded. Channel
flying was at a discount in Kngland ,
because it was considered an old t
story and because national pride
had suffered from the monopoly of
it by Frenchmen, when Rolls electriled
the entire kingdom by doubling
the accomplishments of his j
predecessors. The distance between
Dover and Calais is 21 miles and
when Rolls did the round trip of ,
42 miles In 90 minutes without
stopping his performance was mar- (
velous both for distance and time.
In his vouth Rolls was one of the

every self propelled vehicle on the
public roads must be proceeded by a
nuui carrying a red flag to warn
pedestrians. In 1900 .he won tiie
gold medal in the thousand miles
automobile race. He was the representative
of Greut Britain in the
Gordan Bennett race in 1905 ad several
times made world's records for
speed. As a balloonist Rolls had
more than 150 ascensions and had
crossed the channel several times in
^ balloons?.
Another Aeronaut l>ead.
Daniel Klnet, the Belgian aeronaut,
who fell when the rudder of
his aeroplane broke last Sunday at
Gand, Belgium, died Friday. Kinet
held the world's record for an aeroplane
flight with a passenger. On
May 15 he remained in the air with
a companion for two hours and fifty-one
minutes. *

Ellison's first outbreak was at the

were in progress. He entered the

shouted th.it he was preparing #o

BODY REVEALS MURDER
CASK IS STRIKINGLY SIMILAR TO
CHARLTON TltAGKDY.
Detectives Not Suspicious I'ntil the
Disappearance of Dr. Ct'ippeit, the
Woman's Husband.
A dispatch from I?ndon says
Scotland Yard is engaged with the
murder of an American woman and
Thursday cabled the police of the
United States requesting the arrest
of the woman's husband, l)r. Hawley
Harvey Crippen, also an American,
who is believed to have sailed
from New York on Saturday last.
The case is strikingly similar to
that of the Charlton murder at Lake 1
Como, Italy. Hoth women were actresses
who left their American
homes to meet death by violence in
i foreign land and in each instance
the police pursued the American
husband to the shores of his native
land.
On Saturday noon last Dr. Crippen
disappeared and since then the
police have not been able to locate
him. Thursday a search was made
of the Crippen home by police and
the battered body of a woman was
found buried in the cellar. It had
been placed in quicklime and was
burned beyond recognition, but the
(hiding of the body together witn
other discoveries had left no doubt
in the minds of the authorities that
the murdered woman was Mrs. Crippen.

SERIOUS CHARGE
Well Known A simile Mas Accessory to
C McGhee Murder.
DENIES WHOLE STORY
?
J. II. Allison, Slayer of F. M. Mo
(iluH', Makes Confession in Which )
Ho Implicates Fort or Webb.? (
Says Webb ami "Wonutit in the 1
Case" Had Formed Conspiracy.
A dispatch from A&hville, N. C..
says the killing a few days ago
Floyd Al. AlcGhee, the patrol wagon (
driver, by J. It. Allison took a sennational
turn Friday afternoon when
Porter Webb, a member of the linn
of W. A. Wepb & Son, liverymen,
and one of the best known youi g .
men of the town, was arrested by
Deputy Mitchell on a warrant charging
him with aiding anl abetting in
ing him with aiding and abetting n '
T.he arrest of Webb was the result
of a confession made to Deputy
Sheriff Williams, Deputy Sheriff Mitchell
and Sheriff Hunter by Allison.
Sheriff Hunter said that Allison
called his deputies and binis-i'*. U
the jail and told a story that left
nothing for the s-heriff to do hut issue
a warrant for Webb. According
to Sheriff Hunter, the slayer of
Floyd McGhee, now in jail waiting
the action of the grand jury, declared
that Porter Webb told him
(Allison) that McGhee and the "woman
in Hie case" had formed a conspiracy
to kill Allison anl said that
Webb advised Allison to take his
gun and kill McGhee.
That was on the day of the homicide.
Allison replied to what Webb ,
said, according to his confession to
the Sheriff that he did not a iv > v
pistol and Webb said he would send
for one; that he had a gun. He
stated that he did send to the niar>
who had it and that the man replied
it was at his room. Then, according
to the confession, Porter Webb
sent a negro stable boy to the room
and brought it to Webb. The pistol.
Allison said, was given over to
him and Webb said: "Go kill the
rascal and I'll stand hv you." ,
Allison said t.hat he took the pistol
and did >*0 and kill Floyd Ale- ,
Ghee. Allison told the officers that '
he had sent for Porter Webb to come ]
and sec him; that he had waited (
days and that Webb had not been ,
near him. Allison said to Sheriff
Hunter that he did not t.hink under |
the circumstances-?rather the alleged
circumstances?that he should
bear the whole thing and that he had ,
decided to tell "everything."
The arrest of Porter Webb 011 so
serious a charge came as a shock
to the many friends of that young ,
man. Webb, after his arrest, was
taken to the oflice of Magistrate \Y\
K. Gudyer, where bond in the sum
of $2,000 was required, pending a
preliminary hearing. Webb, when
seen by a newspaper man at the magistrate's
court, had this and only
this to say about the charge:
"The Lord knows I did not know
anything about it. I did not have
the least idea about if. If 1 had
known he (Allison) was going to
do anything like that I would have
helped to prevent it." *

over an hour and rain fell in veritable

home of J. S. Stowe, in Woodland

one was injured, nor the house
burned. *

THIKD TO ASSASSINATE HIM.
\ liiiiigley Fttimer Shot and Seriously
Wounded.
Hen Hankinson, a prominent white
farmer, living a few miles from
Langley, was shot by some party, as
yet unknown, and probably fatally
wounded Saturday, while on his way
homo from Langley, where he had
been on business. Complete mystery
surrounds the shooting, which occurred
on a secluded road, hedged in
by a very thick growth of hushes on
either side; the spot of the alleged
attack being at a dip in t.he road between
two hills and about 250 yards
from the nearest house. The spot
where the shooting took place is a
mile and a half from Mr. Ilankln>on's
home. Mr. llankiuson says he
was riding along the road near the
Koch Hill colored churo.h, close to
the residence of A. P. Franklin, and
a man with a dark moustache came
from behing a bush and tired twice
at him. The unknown assassin missed
-his aim the first shot, hut the second
one pierced Mr. Kankinson's left
breast just above the heart and went
through the back of the buggy seat,
falling to the ground close by. The
physician who examined Mr Hankinson
said that had it not b? it for
the muscular contraction of th? -h art
the bullet would have hit a vital
organ causing death.
