REPORT OF AV|ATORS
ON DEATH OF MO|SANT
THEY ARE SURE NOBODY WAS TO
BLAME.
The True Cause Can Never Be Made
Known.

New York. Jan. S.-Four of the in
ternational aviators who we're with
Moisant at New Orleans when he fell
to his death. have sent to the Asso-
ated Press signed statement of their
findings on the examination of the ma
chine. made on the spot Immediately
after he fell. Rene Simon, Rene Bar
rier. Garros and Audemars all declare
that the evidence shows that Moisant
had shut off the power. that every stay
and control was intact. and that no.
body will ever know why his wonder
full and admired airmanship' met de-
feat.
But one thing they are emphatic in
that Moisant's mechanic. Gerspach and
Ferlet. had taken every precaution and
that his death was in no way due to
any omission of theirs.
Albert Fileux's statement published
here. that Moisant's Bleriot has been too
often repaired and that it was over
weighted with gasoline when he went
up for the Michelin prize they deny as
an unfounded imputation of neglect
F'ileux was the mechanic who made the
Paris to London flight with Moisant.
and in a letter to a New York news
paper man. received here tonight, Gar
ros writes for his fellow-aviators. sup
plementing the statement TO the Assoc
ciated Press in part as follows: a
charge that carelessness caused the
death of Moisant is a professional dis
honor for these boys. who are known
in France as among the best nen who
ever worked on aviation fields. What
was printed about them made them

talked to us about il.
we carefully examined the wrecked
Bleriot a few minutes after the acct
dent and hereby certify that all the
of the machine were absolute

Moisant had stopped it himself. He
was obviously trying to land in little

II was a heart breaking blow that
was laid on the family Of john Mundall
-yesterday-the loss of their 2-year- old
baby and every worldly possession
when their home burned. The loss of
the child is harder to bear for the rea-
son that it had just been saved from
the flames
The Mundalls lived on the Wilson
crossing road about a quarter o. mile
from the Tempe road. The father was
away from home and the mother was
engaged at something outside the house
nearby She heard the screams of
the children and saw smoke and
flames issuing from the house. She
ran in and brought out the three chill
dren. all small. and seeing that they
were safe, she hurried back into the
house. which was rapidly becoming

of their already few belongings.

rapidly gaining flames drove the moth

baby was missing. She tried to make
her way back into the roaring house
again, but the fire licked about her
and her clothing was quickly in flames.
BY this time the near neighbors had
arrived and the mother was saved,
though badly burned. 1t was too late
to attempt the rescue of the child and
all that was brought from the burning
house was cot which stood near one
of the doors.
