The pupils of his pale eyes

At the moment Lucky Cava-

house and there were bullet
holes in the walls from the
Civil War days. And little
peep-holes in the walls where in
the days of Indian fighting
they used to look out to see if
any redmen were about. Oh,
it was a lovely place and we
will never forget it. Nor cease

We have a new favorite town

From his aerial position Po-

incomplete view into the inte

He could see into Lucky'S living
room, and beyond it a door lead

Poletzki had been waiting an
hour. Always when he was
wrought up like this, the palms

Student Leaps From Wreck

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SAN BENITO, Tex, February "a
An airplane spiraled to the ground its
pilot dead; from the rear cockpit a
man leaped, ran q few yards, turned a
pistol on himself and fired into his
| temple.
With these asserted facts, related to
| officers and investigators by witnesses,
authorities today continued their probe
of the deaths of Lehman Nelson, 33.
pilot, and Erin Mccall, 90, student
flyer, late yesterday.
An examination by police and physi-
clans showed Nelson had been shot IN
the back of the head. Mccall was dead
when those who witnessed the planes
erratic landing reached him.
Craft Acts Strangely.
Nelson and Mccall took of from the
Harlingen Flying Field about 5 pm.
They landed at San Benito's Airport 80
minutes later. but took of almost i'm
mediately. Mccall appeared to be at
the controls practicing landings. A
short time after the take-of the ship
was noticed to be performing strangely.
Then it landed in rough field and
nosed over.
George Witzel, a farmer, testified at
dIl llQueSI lc saw 4<SloOii 1Cdu ildAS
ing over the side of the cockpit five
minutes before the ship landed. The
plane was flying low at the time and he
said he could see a red smear on the
fuselage, which he thought was paint.
Afterward he learned the smear was
blood.
Another witness, Buford Eubanks,
was attracted by the ships peculiar
flight and climbed windmill in order
to watch 1t better. It came down about
a quarter of mile from his farm and
he was among the first to reach it. He
also said he saw Nelson's head droop-
ing over the cockpit.
Weapon Is Found.
Oficers said they found a pistol near
McCall's body and that it had been
fred three times. Witnesses told only
of hearing q shot while the plane was
