NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 81
Flying for the Michelin prize OF $4,-
900 offered in France for the longest
distance flight in circle, John b.
Moisant, native OF Chicago and for
mer soldier OF fortune In Central
America. was killed today, when his
aeroplane fell upon him at Harahan.
ten miles from this city.
Moisant left here at o'clock for
the flight and had proceeded only q
few miles when his machine became
unmanageable. He was about 100
feet above the ground when the
plane dashed 10 earth, crushing out
his life.
The injured man was started fer
this city, but died minute or two
after being taken from beneath the
wreckage
Moisant's flight from Paris to Lon
don across the English Channel, with
his mechanician and kitten as pas
senger, brought him his fame as an
aviator. He had taken up flying on
" few days before, having gone 10
France from Nicaragua, where he had
been a soldier OF fortune
Moisant was member OF the
American team at the international
| aeroplane meet on Long Island and
won the prize OF $4,000 for a race
from the Belmont aviation field to the
Statute of Liberty and return, defeat
ing Claude Grahame-White, the Eng
lishman, who won the race for the
James Gordon Bennett cup
After the meet, Mosant accepted
an offer of $4,000 a year to become
member of team OF aviators and
started on an exhibition tour of the
country. His feats at Memphis and
otner cities were easily the features
of the meetings.
Moisant was unmarried and about
26 years old.
Special grounds had been laid out
at Harahan to enable Moisant 10 make
try for the Michelin long distance
flight trophy. Carrying a big tank of
gasoline in his 50-horsepower Bleriot
monoplane, he reached Harahan in
safety. He landed almost immediate
ly and re-ascended, prepared to fly un
I'll late this afternoon, then to com
plete a spectacular record by a return
flight TO the aviation field here.
The aviator circled the field three
or four times at an elevation of per
haps 200 feet
Suddenly something went wrong
with the machine. II bucked and
pitched downward, Moisant mean
time was fighting valiantly to regain
It's balance. AT a height OF perhaps
100 feet the strap which held Moisant
in his seat broke and the winner OF
the Statue OF Liberty flight was pre-
cipitated from his machine.
He fell like lead, understanding the
machine to the ground. Mortified
spectators rushed to the wounded
man and picked him up. He was still
breathing He was hurried to fiat
car and a special train started back
10 the city. Before its arrival here.
Mcisant died without regaining con-
seriousness.
How the accident occurred will
never be known as the machine was
completely wrecked.
