BODY OF MISSING Filler IS
FOUNDONCHEATMOUNTAN
Lieut.. E. H. BObbitt, Wedged In
Cockpit of Plane, Is Burned Be-
yOnd Recognition
CRASHED INTO TREE

Wedged in the cockpit of his
wrecked plane, the body of Lieut.. E.
H. Bobbitt, missing army pilot, was
found yesterday on one Of the high
est peaks of the Cheat Mountains.
A farmer and trapper came upon
the wreckage while tramping through
the hills in search of the aviator, who
disappeared Christmas Day while en-
route from Selfridge Field, Mich, to
his home at Hot Springs, Va.
The body of the dead man was
charred almost beyond recognition;
the plane, with a broken wing, was
badly burned. The machine had APP
parently struck tree on POOLS Knob
and crashed, bottom down, in the
bushes. The peak where Bobbitt met
his death rises almost 1000 feet.
Three miles south of the peak Bob
bitt would have found a clearing on
which he could have landed, the only
clearing in that part of the noun
tains.
Found in Dense Woods
M. S. Simmons, SO, farmer, and Carl
Refer, 40, trapper, found the wreck
age. They notified Sergt. Arnold
Moore, of the West Virginia State
police, who left with squad of men
to bring the body to Elkins.
Returning to the village of Valley
Head after making their discovery,
Simmons and Refer blazed a trail
Indian fashion, back through the hills,
cutting into trees with an axe and bat
tering down underbrush to guide the
troopers.
The spot where Bobbitt croshed is
in one of the widest sections of West
Virginia.
Reports of having seen the plane
flying over Garrett county on Christ
mas Day led to the belief that he may
have crashed in Garrett county and
caused an investigation to be set on
foot by the War Department in the
vicinity of Red House.
