FALLS FROM BALLOON;
CRASHES INTO A HOTEL
Aviator Probably VIII Die as Reault
OF Fight With Treacherous
Cnrrenfa

Atlantic City. August 14.-After n
perilous drop OF 1900 feet with
double parachute. Charles Bennett of
Newark. lad of twenty. plunged
through the skylight OF a. hotel last
night and fell TO the tables below
while the guests were at dinner.
he was picked UP senseless, with his
skull broken and his body limp with
cuts and bruises. He still lives. bnt
the doctors at the City Hospital have
no nope of saving him.
Before this tragic finish Bennett had
raised the fears of thousands of spec-
tators who watched him in his exciting
inanoeuVres in the air. 1t was a bad
gay LOT such an exhibition. but the
crowd was out to see it, and the boy
went up rather than disappoint.

Alilion-Dollar Pier, careened under tho
wayward gusts that were playing over
mead In all directions. The further IL

II. At the height of about one-third
OF a mile Bennett disengaged himself
from that instant ne seemed in deadly
peril.
First Parachute Fails.
The first parachute would not open,
and he shot plumb earthward. Spec
tators turned away thir heads, ex-
peeting a clear fail. When nearly all
were despatring. a shout s.SaaIed thar
he had contrived to open the umbrella
and check his plunge. He had already
fallen several hundred feet.
HAIR way to earth he loosened tho
second parachute. Like the other. a.
refused to open. The crowd of on
lockers was again thrilled. knowing
That life was at stake on the boys
ability to manage his himsy and un-
ruly buoys.
The capricious air currents wera
then tossing him at will, but over
with swift motion downward. He
was within 500 feet of earth when the
second parachute became really SER
viceable to him.
Game Fight In Win.
Just as the crowd had begun to
breathe easier the air currents masscd
themselves against him and hurled
him swiftly and hopelessly towards
the spires OF the big hotels
There were cries among the specta-
tors that he would be pitched down
upon their heads, and many fled to
cover.
AS he swung around the towers he
sprang away. moving his body like
contortionist. The wind had the para
chutes at its mercy but the boy who
chung to them kept hts head. When
at last there seemed chance that
his nerve and skill might save him.
fresh gust from above caught him
unprepared and threw him directly on
top OF the Marlborough's glass roof.
He struck with a force that must
have benumbed him, for the blow
could be heard 100 yards away His
body crashed through and fell al
nest lifeless among the dinner guests.
