AIR FALL KILLS
BANKER; BLAME
PASSENGER

ATLANTIC CITY, ". j., Oct.
19.-George king. 81, pilot Of the
sightseeing plane which crashed
here last evening, declared today
to authorities investigating the
tragedy that a frenzied passenger
had caused the accident by seizing
the control as he was bringing the
ship to the ground. Eight persons
were injured, one mortally.
King, who is in the Atlantic
City Hospital with broken leg,
said that the passenger lost his
head, believing that the plane was
making a too rapid descent. The
passenger climbed into the cockpit
and jammed the foot control, freez-
ing the rudder and preventing King
from righting the ship, the pilot
said. He said he did not know the
passengers name.
Dies Two Hours Later
w. Octave Chanute. Denver
banker, died of a FEATURED skull and
a compound fracture of the right
leg two hours after the all.metal
Junkers plane, a sister ship Of the
transatlantic plane Bremen, went
into a tail spin and made nose
dive from an elevation of $500
feet into the marshes just outside
the city.
Chanute was IS years old. He
was a member Of the firm of Bos-
worth, Chanute and Loughrie, of
Denver and was interested finan-
cialIy in-aviation. With several of
the other passengers, he was
delegate to the convention here of
A.. % nj
ton.
Two bankers were injured criti-
cally. They are Pliny Jewell, 81,
former president Of the Investment
Bankers Association and member
of the firm of Coffin and Burr,
Boston, Mass, whose skull was frac-
tured, and Thomas w. Dysart, %.
of the firm OF knight, Dysart and
Gamble, st. Louis, Mo. Dysart
was a member of the syndicate that
backed Col. Charles Lindbergh's
flight to Paris. He suffered a
broken left wrist, fractured rib
and internal injuries.
Hope was held for Dysart's re.
covery, but physicians feared that
Jewell was dying.

That she met 'squealer's fate"

man during a bank robbery in Kan
sas City.
That she was murdered by a
friend or relative of some girl who

parties'' held in her apartment
The fact that Mrs. Bonello's death
was violent leads police to believe
that she may have been murdered

Ronello, or murdered her in some
more quiet manner, they think.
Investigation of the slain wom-
ans past has revealed that her

claimed as his wife, tried to pass
the marked money they were
arrested. The child was returned

tors. This pair was sentenced to

the distracted parents Of the 13-
month-old baby. He confessed
that he murdered the baby. Pas

Through all the years of Amer
ica's criminal history not one man
or woman-has been topped, =
which is prison jargon for changed,
for participation in a kidnapping.
There have been many cases in
which kidnap victims have been
murdered, but the most society has
ever been able to do has been to
sentence the perpetrators to long
"stretches'' in penitentiaries.
Ross and Cudal1y
From the days of the Charley
Ross abduction, on July /, 1874,
until Hickman, kidnapers have APP
narently borne charmed lives. The
alleged abductors of Charley were
shot in an attempted burglary on
a Long Island home, but both dled
before telling the whereabouts VI
their victim. :,
To this day the mystery OF
Charley Ross is as deep as the DAY
he disappeared.
The next case to attract world
wide attention was the KIDNAPPING
of Edward C"Eddie'O Cudahy. IT,
son of the packing house million
aire. His abduction was accom-
pIished on the night of December
IL 1900 at the Omaha home of the
Cudahy family.
Young Cudahy was taken by Pat
Grove. already a notorious char'
acter; he had served IS months IN
Joliet and was wanted for jail
| breaking. highway and train rob
berries and a host of other offenses'
Freed Near Home
He was held in a house in South
Omaha by Jimmy and Mary Cal
laghan. brother and sister, white
Grove made the arrangements Tor
payment of $4,000 ransom. The
money was paid by the elder
Cudahy in IS, SO and $40 gold
pieces. Young Cudahy was driven
through the streets of Omaha ana
released near his home.
Grove swindled his alleged con
federates by splitting only $5,OoU
of the ransom money with them
He disappeared and the next day
the woman saw how she had been
tricked and decided to go to the
police. Her brother, however. had
no desire to break into JAIL and
talked her out Of the idea.
CEOW6 WAS a 1uSII1"0 A4OAAA JUS
tice for nearly five years, being
"collared" in Butte, Mont, on Octo'
Der 2, 1905, by M. P. McInerney'
then a Butte city detective.
During the five years he was So
badly wanted, Grove had partlcl'
pated in the Boer War, in South
Africa, in the ranks of the Beers.
He returned to this country and
participated in So gun fights with
detectives and other peace officers.
He carried three bullets as memen-
toes of the engagements.
Upon his arrest in Butte for the
Cudahy kidnapping 1t was found that
the State of Nebraska had no law
under which Grove could be tried
for the abduction. He was returned
to Omaha, however, to answer for
the shooting of Detective Albert H.
Jackson. Grove went free of all
charges he faced in the Nebraska
city.
On March 10, 1909, a man and
woman kidnapped eight.year-old Billy
Whitla near his home in Sharon,
Pa. A large ransom was demanded
and $4,000 of It paid in marked
bills. When James III. Boyle and
