bdA ton, Olipt June lH.--1leltenan m John A. Macready veteran army flier, last night added the most thrilling state | to the story of his aerial ex- ,a as flown across the continent A'' Y. He has ascended to a height ol n,o.e than 24O00 feet and come down stiif as an automaton from the intense cold.
 Last night he crawlcd out on the wing of his airpane, the motor of which had gone dead, jumped and pulled the ripCord of his parachute. and started down through 1,S0O feet i Of blackness. He landed without a scratch. The story of the flight and the jump. as told by Macready today sounded like the most imaginative of fiction.
 One Of th" strangcst features came after he landed When his plane came down in crash it was immediately enHeloped in flames. Crowds congrc gated and stood anNiously helpless to make move 10 eXtricate the aviator who, they felt sure, was trapped in the flaming wreckage,
 Macready suddenly walked into their midst, He had landed a short distance away and had seen the plane crash as he glidcd through the air.
 He was returning from a night air. ways flight from Columbus when the motor Of his plane, a De Haviland, stopped. After he had determined his ship was dead, he said his first thought was to land 1T possible where no lives would be endangered.
 So he headed for the outskirts Of Dayton, finding his position by means of the city lights.
 Then l prepared to jump" he said. My altimeter showed l was between 500 and S,4o0 feet from the ground. l loosend my safety belt and threw one log over the side Of the ship, keeping one hand on the control stick.
 Finally I crawlcd out on the wing and attempted 10 nose the shin np so l could leave without any danger of having the parachute catch. ] had 10 work fast.
 "I let go of the plane and lei the wind blow me free. l decided to count two before l pulled the riprord of the parachute, so as not 10 foul the plane.
 ''l don't know iu what position I was in when left the ship. whether was upside down or not But heard the parachute open with d snap and ! knew 1 would land safely some place"
 Edward A. wuichet Of the Dayton chamber Of commerce, walking down below in the summer darkness. was startled 10 hear a voice from the sky say Hello below" Hey down there" Macready had decided to call out to preclude. if possible. injury in landing.
 '1 kept carrying on conversation with those below until I felt q slight bump. They told me later had landed on the edge of a 100 foot cliff. Not scratch or even good bump"
 Air officials here believe Macreadv is lhe fire person ever to make a night parachute leap.
