BELIEVE WOMAN
FIRED SHOT THAT
KILLED DR.. RUST|N
Police Doubt Physicians Dying
Statement That Man Was
"a. His Slayer.
Especial to the Evening start

OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 3.-BelieVing
that 1t was no man who shot ana
killed DIR. Frederick T.. Rustin, the
noted surgeon and former Yale ath-
lete. the police today are seeking a
Young woman who is said to be well
known to Mrs. Rustin. The
man said before he died that a man
had shot him.
DR.. Rustin. who was captain of the
Yale baseball team of 1895 and a ia
nous football player. was just about
to enter his home at 3 o'clock in the
morning when a hidden assassin shot
him in the stomach. Mrs. Rustin,
who heard the shot, ran downstairs
and found her husband in a chair. All
ne could say was: "A man shot me.
Two hours later he died,
Miss Leona Burnley, who a lived in
the Loyal Hotel. was taken to the
Office of the chief Of police, where she
admitted having been with Rustin until
n late hour at night. She also said tina
she had accompanied him TO within two
blocks of his hcme after midnight.
On these admissions she was detained
by the police. Friends of the Rustin
family say the Burnley woman has
been the cause Ct domestic trouble in
the Rustin family. and h inquest is
expected to bring out some sensational
developments. No revolve" vas found
near the spot where the tragedy oc-
Cured, and there is much other evil
dence to disprove a suicide theory.
This is the third tragedy in the Rus
tin family within Il few years. Several
years ago wilkins Rustn, a brother,
died from injuries received while being
initiated into a secret fraternity In
Yale. Captain Charles B. Rustin,
father of the physician. persisted on a
trail in Alaska three years ago.
Rustin was one of the most popular
men in society in this city, n had
risen steadily in his profession since he
came here soon after he was graduated
from Yale. AS far as the case has been
investigated, it has not been developed
that he had an enemy, and the police
frankly confess they are mystified.

plunge from his burning balloon to
death.
Jones gained his greatest fame while
making ascensions at Palisades Park,
New Jersey. The airship which caught
fire n dropped with him vas christ
ened THE Boomerang at that resort.
Thousands of New Jersey and New
York persons saw Jones rise from the
park on the Hudson's banks, circle over
land and water and then return to his
starting point. He always had his
"dirigible' under perfect control.
Wife FIRST to Reach Him. :
Twenty-Five thousand spectators as
sembled on the Central Maine fair
grounds saw Jones enter the little car,
his immense gas bag carried and start
on his fatal flight.
After his fall Mrs. Jones and their
child We're almost the first to reach his
side. He died an hour after the ac-
cident, his wife being at the side of his
hospital cot.
Waving his hand to the thousands of
people and bidding his smiling wife
and baby good-by, he tilted she gas bag
and was off.
When the. aeronaut reached a height
of more than 800 feet the spectators
were amazed to see small tongues OF
flame issuing from under the gas bag
in front of the motor. At this time
the balloon had passed beyond the fair
grounds. Many persons In the great
crowd endeavored to apprise Jones of
his danger, but several minutes elapsed
before he noticed the fire. Then he
grasped the rip cord. and by letting
out gas, ~endeavored to reach the earth.
Rolls Over and over.
The machine had descended but a
short distance when a sudden burst of
flame enveloped the gas bag, the
framework Immediately separating
from it.
Jones was seen to crouch in the
framework to get as far as possible
away from the flames, and then, rolling
over and over in the air, the monster
mechanism plunged to the ground and
fell, with Jones pinned underneath 1t.
Mrs. Jones. who had made flights

and it probably will never be known.
AS she saw the big bag burst into
flames she seemed wild with fear, but,
refusing the assistance of those stand
ing by, she rushed over the fields as
the wind carried the burning machine
across country.
His Spine Broken.
When the spectators reached Jones
he was lying under the machine, about
a quarter of a, mile from the fair
grounds. The gas bag, which fell near
by. was completely destroyed.
The surgeons who were in the crowd
found that Jones had no chance to
survive. as he was injured internally
and his spine was broken. Coroner
Reddington will hold an autopsy on
Friday.
Jones had trouble with his balloon
Tuesday on account of cold weather
Monday night, which caused a number
of leaks through the contraction of the
gas bag. The leaks were repaired and
the balloon inflated, but the wind was
so high that Jones considered it Ian
gerous t. ascend. 1t is thought that
the bag leaked again yesterday and
that a spark from the motor caused the
disaster.
