Plane Crash Near Gold Sand
School Is Fatal To Four
Continued from Page One.)

noon and word of the affair spread
rapidly. Many Henderson people were
attracted to the scene and to Louis
burg, where the bodies had been
taken.
The body of Mrs. Danley was
brought to the Pittman & Lancaster
funeral home here to be prepared for
burial and await instructions for ship
ment.
The bodies of the three men were
prepared for burial in the White Fun
eral Company undertaking parlors at
Louisburg, with r. A. Blaylock of this
city and his son, Dorman Blaylock,
of Warrenton, in charge of the en-
balming.
After passing over Louisburg a few
minutes before, when it was said to
have sounded as if motor trouble was
developing, the large four-place Waco
| monoplane crashed in the yard of the
! farm home of William Leonard, a
short distance from Gold Sand high
school, some ten miles north of Louis
burg.
| Besides Mrs. Caroline Danley, who
! was from either Miami or jackson
vile, Fla, and who boarded the plane
! at Jacksonville, the three men who
! were occupants of the machine were
c. H. Betz, 223O Manchester Road;
Daniel L. Breen, honorary member of

and Arthur T. Conn, owner of the ship
of Al North High street, all of Akron
1 Ohio. Their bodies lay in a Louisburg
| inorgue awaiting the arrival of re
/ latives from Akron to give instruc-
| tions for shipment. Mrs. Danley's
body was here awaiting final word
from her mother in Charleston, w
Va, for shipment, which was to be
made tonight.
The cause of the crash said to be
the worst in aviation history in NORTH
Carolina, had not been definitely de
termined. There were conflicting re
ports. One said the pilot, dropping
| under a low ceiling to find his way
sheared off both wings of his plane
when he struck trees. Another wa.
that one wing broke and fell from
the plane before any trees were
struck Tt was also said that receipt
ed bill in the pocket of one of the
men showed that $58 had been spent
for the repair of that wing before
the plane left Miami, Fla, at $50 a
| m. Sunday, bound for Akron, Ohio.
Two of the men either jumped OF
fell from the plane just before i
| crashed Their bodies skidded along
| the ground in the yard of the Leonard
farm home and wrapped around {
tree, a portion of the skull of one O.
them being hurled with such forc'
that it went through window pane
in the house. The pilot and the wo
man were found crushed to death il

feet apart.
