Dead when Witnesses

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 21-J. chauncey
Redding OF Melrose and Philip Bulman
of Maiden were killed today by the
fall Of biplane in which they were
making an experimental fight.
Redding, who was manager Of the
Saugus Aviation school. was the OPP
orator Of the machine and Bnln,an was
his mechanician. They had risen from
the aviation field and were soaring
over the marshes nearby when the
wing framework appeared to collapse
and the machine dropped.
Charles Upham whose house IL near
the marsh was one Of the few witnesses
was flying at an altitude Of between 500
and 1000 feet. The aviators had made
two dips and had just come up from
the second maneuver when one Of the
wings crumpled and the machine shot
head first for the ground. Cpham made
his way as speedily as he could eseer the
marsh which was very soft from the rs-
cent rains and found both men driven
deep into the mud feet first He was
unable to pull them out unaided and
had to wait for help to come to dig them
out 1t Is believed tina. both men were
killed instantly by the drop. They ell
ther jumped or were thrown clear Of
the wreckage which plunged into the
n1ire within few feet of them.
Redding was only q years old. At one
time he was employed at county fairs
holding the guy ropes Of balloons and
releasing the gas bag at the proper mo-
ment. His chance for advancement came
one day when the parachute jumper did
not appear. Redding volunteered to take
his place and made the jump success
fully. From parachute jumping Redding
took up the study of aviation in earnest
and made his first flight three years
ago.
The biplane, it was learned tonight,
had been recently repaired after
humping into tree on one Of the ex-
hibition flights at a country fair.
Before climbing into his seat today
Bulman wrote his mother that he was
going to take up something else for
living and that this would be his last
fight.

Miss Cavell sentenced yesterday
and executed at o'clock this morning
despite our best efforts continued until

This morning Mr. Gahan, an Eng
lish clergyman, told me that he had
seen Miss Cavell in her cell yesterday
night at 10 o'clock and that he had
given her holy communion and had
found her admirably strong and calm.
Il asked Mr.. Gahan whether she had
made any remarks about anything con-
corning the legal side Of her case, and
whether the confession which she
made before trial and in court was, in
his opinion, perfectly free and sincere
Mr.. Gahan said she told him she was
perfectly well and knew what she had
done: that, according to the law. Of
course, she was guilty, and admitted
her guilt, but that she was happy to
die for her country"
