Accident Happened Shortly After
Leaving Bellefonte.
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND.
Nothing to Indicate the Cause of
the Tragic Occurrence.
Lieut. Charles Lamborn, one of the
best pilots in the airplane mail serv-
ice between New York and Chicago,
was so badly injured in a fall of his
plane last Saturday morning that he
died within an hour without regaining
consciousness, and therefore without
an opportunity to tell the cause of the
accident, which happened at Dix Run,
in the foothills of the Alleghenies
only a few minutes after he left Belle-
flight to Cleveland, Ohio.

plane was over three hours late on
Saturday morning, Lieut. Anglin not
reaching Bellefonte until about 10:20. '
' The mail, about three hundred pounds
of it, was quickly transferred to plane
No. 82, which has always been regard-
ed one of the best in the service, pilot
Lamborn crawled into the seat and ad-
justing his safety straps the mechan-
ician set the propellers and with a
r the big DeHaviland rose grace-
lv in the teeth of the wind and
fter circiing the field until he had at-
tained an altitude estimated at four
thousand feet pilot Lamborn flew al-
most direct! west. Once he disap-
peared above some low-flying clouds
cloudbank and could be seen flying a
hind the Muncy mountain. This was
about 10:30 o’clock.
About ten minutes later the first
word of the mishap came to Bellefonte
in a telephone call to Dv. Sebring
from Mrs. Harriet Ingfam, of Dix
Run, who asked him to come there as
quickly as possible as the aviator had
fallen and was badly hurt.

ation officials also dispatched two men

the accident.
found pilot Lamborn stretched out on
the grass, unconscious and a hasty
examination showed that he was past

wards that the aviation truck appear-
! ed upon the scene and as nothing else
: could be done pilot Lamborn was lift-
} ‘2dnesday night of last week and | ed into the truck and after making
| his position as comfortable as possi-
ble the mail was taken from the cock-
pit of the plane, loaded on the truck
and a start made for Bellefonte. But
. Lamborn never reached here alive, | miliar land marks and establish his
as he passed away when the truck
was in the neighborhood of Union-
On reaching Bellefonte the
: body was taken to the home of Hard
' P. Harris, on Howard street, where
| weeks. A more careful examination
showed that his left leg was badly
| shattered, there being one fracture
between the ankle and knee and three
| distinct fractures between the knee
‘and thigh. His right shoulder blade
was also fractured and he had a deep
. bruise on his right breast as well as
two or more cuts on his face where
he had evidently been thrown against
i the instruments on the control panel.
: But it was evidently internal injuries
: that caused his death.
{ Pilot Lamborn had probably attain-
"ed an altitude of six thousand feet |
. when he sailed over Bald Eagle valley
and close inquiry among the people
living near where he fell elicited the
! fact that they heard the roar of his
| motor before they saw the machine,
but they were not positive whether
| the machine was above the clouds or
not at that time. But they agree on
i the fact that the machine circled the
spot where it later fell two, if not
three times descending all the time.
George Stine, the first man to reach
the machine after it fell, expressed
his belief that the machine did not
seem much over one hundred feet high
when it appeared to turn sharply at
an angle to the way it had been going
and dive to the ground—not a straight
nose dive but at an angle of probably
sixty degrees. Mr. Stine is not posi-
tive whether the motor was running
when he firat sav: the plane or not,
we boys aver that they heard a
report and shortly afterwards
the motor stopped and it was then the
. rnachine was seen to volplane down-
wards in a circle.
Mr. Stine’s statement that the ma-
chine turned at a sharp angle before
it fell is borne out in the fact that
only one propeller was broken. And
the fact that the marks on the ground
show that the machine did nct move
‘ five feet from where it struck would
indicate that it fell at a pretty sharp
angle, especially as it was nosed down
grade. And the fact that the impact
crushed the machine, wings and all,
as if it had been an eggshell, would
also indicate that the fall had been
from a probably greater height than
one hundred feet.
As stated above Mr. Stine was the
first man to reach the plane after #
{ fell and he found pilot Lamborn se-
curely strapped in and with his head
lying forward against the instruments
on the control panel. He at once saw
i that his condition was critical and a
boy was sent to the home of Mrs.
| Harriet Ingram to have her summon

a doctor and notify the aviation field
of the accident. In the meantime oth-
' ers had gathered around the fallen
| plane and work was begun on taking
the injured pilot from the machine,
but in order to do so it was found nec-
essary to break away a portion of the
fuselage before he could be released.
The spot where the plane fell is on
the land of Jesse Irvin, on the south
side of a small basin about three
quarters of a mile to the left of the
Dix Run road. The ground was cov-
ered with grass but the clearing is
not very large and it is hardly likely
pilot Lamborn was attempting to
light there when there were large,
level fields not a third of a mile away.
One of two things might have hap-
pened. His machine may have devel-
oped motor trouble or some other part
broken that he was unable to control
it and guide it where he wanted to go,
or he may have become sick or faint
and unable to control the plane be-
cause of that. On Thursday after-
| noon he drove an extra plane to Cleve-
| land, Ohio, and Friday morning he
| returned to Bellefonte sitting on 250
| pounds of mail in the cockpit of a ma-
| chine driven by pilot Ellis. They
| stopped at DuBois almost an hour |
| that day on account of the clouds and
low visibility and when they finally
marked that he would never make
another trip like that. But he was
around as usual Friday afternoon and
| Saturday morning and made no com-
plaint about feeling ill or anything.
And the machine had been thoroughly
tested and was considered in prime
condition. Under such circumstances
it is impossible to tell the cause of the
unfortunate accident.
As to what was the actual cause of
the accident no one will ever know
and while one guess may be as good
as another most of the aviators are of
! the opinion that Lamborn, finding
| himself above cloud or fog banks,
| was anxious to get down to an alti-
|
| tude at which he could recognize fa-
|
i
| location and take course therefrom.
| Discovering a hole, as they call a rift
| in the clouds, he shot through it in a
| nose dive only to find himself at such
| a low altitude and so near the earth
i Lamborn had lived the past several | that he could not flatten out and es-
cape the crash that resulted in his
death. The fact that both switches
were on and that he was strapped in
his seat when found would give color
| to this theory, for it would indicate
| that he was in full flight when the
| end came and that he had not antici-
|
| pated an emergency or forced land-
ing.
| Another theory advanced is that he
| was looking for a landing place and
le . . *
{in trying for the small clearing in
which he struck his ship carriage
| caught in the bordering tree tops and
nosed him over. This could scarcely
‘be the case, for the ship apparently
| had not turned over and was wrecked
lin such a position as to indicate that
{it had struck the ground at an angle
the line of projection of which would
| have cleared any of the nearby trees.
| Another theory based on the pre-
| sumption that Lamborn, himself, had
been suddenly stricken with illness
finds a number of believers among
his friends here. It is scarcely tena-
| ble for the reason that people in the
vicinity in which he fell heard him
| circling above the clouds and distinct-
i ly heard him cut his motor several
| times. This would give color to the
first theory for he would probably
have been doing just that while cir-
cling to shoot through a “hole.”
The writer watched him leave Belle-
fonte; followed him until he became
a tiny speck in the sky which then
was white, without a black cloud or a
i trace of fog in the direction in which
he was flying. He was at an altitude
much higher than the one he usually
attained in leaving Bellefonte and was
slightly west of his usual course.
Judged from the time we lost sight of
the ship and the report of the mishap
there couldn’ have been more than
twenty minutes elapsed time between
our last glimpse of him and the acci-
dent.
As soon as the mail was brought
back to Bellefonte it was put in
another plane and pilot Knight took
it through to Cleveland. The same
afternoon the wrecked plane was tak-
en apart and hauled to Bellefonte.
Pilot Charles Lamborn was born at
Sacramento, Neb., on January 10th,
1883, hence was past thirty-six years
of age. Just when he took up flying
is not definitely known, but during
the late war he held the rank of cap-
tain and was engaged in training fly-
ers on various fields in this country.
At the close of the war he was placed
on the reserve list with the rank of

KILLED IN FALL.
Superior Court Affirms Verdict in
Gray Case.
The Superior court of Pennsylva-
nia last Friday handed down a deci-
sion in the appeal of Irvin G. Gray
and two sons, Clyde Gray and George
Gray, from the verdict of the lower
court and request that a new trial
be granted them, in which the judg-
. ment of the lower court was affirmed
"and the appeal dismissed at the cost
of the defendants.
Readers of the “Watchman” will
! recall the fact that the Grays were
| convicted in three cases at the De-
cember term of court, 1918, on the
charge of stealing and butchering cat-
tle and Irvin G. Gray was sentenced
‘to serve not less than two years nor
more than two and a half in the pen-
itentiary in each case, while the sons
were each sentenced to serve not less
than two and a half nor more than
three years in each case.
An appeal was at once taken to the
Superior court for an arrest of judg-
ment and new trial. The case was
argued before the Superior court sit-
ting in Pittsburgh on May 6th, 1919,
and now comes along the decision
after 1aore than two months. The
next step in this already celebrated
case is unknown at this time. No ac-
tion can be taken by the lower court
until the records in the case are re-
ceived back from the Superior court
and that may be some days yet. The
defendants.’ of course, have still the
right of appeal to the Supreme court.
Centre County Woman Murdered by
Husband.
A few minutes after two o’clock on
Saturday afternoon John Waldron, of
Altoona. drank a small bottle of car-
bolic acid and then shot his wife in
the head, she dying almost instantly.
Waldron died shortly afterwards.
Marital infelicity is assigned as the
cause of the man’s rash act.
Mrs. Waldron was a daughter of
Charles M. Brandt, of Clarence, this
county, although she was born in the
State of Washington in October,
1897, hence was less than twenty-two
vears of age. She was married to
Vialdron at Greensburg two and a
half years ago. Prior to her marriage
she was a hotel waitress. Surviving
I her are her parents, her father living
at Clarence and her mother in the
State of Washington; one brother at
Clarence and two sisters in Altoona.
The woman was buried in the Rose
Hill cemetery, Altoona, on Tuesday
afternoon.
Waldron was forty-two years old
and a native of Connecticut, although
he had lived at Altoona a number of
years and had been employed at No.
3 engine house. He had been mar-
ried twice, his first wife dying six
years ago. His remains were buried
in Calvary cemetery on Wednesday.
Refusing to Fight Forest Fires Cost
Six Men $19.60 Each.
It cost six men of Penn township
just $19.60 each for refusing to re-
spond to the call of a fire warden to
assist in putting out forest fires. The
men in question are Russell Auman,
Frank Auman, Calvin Confer, Frank
Dinges, Brade Steiger and John Stei-
ger. Two months or more ago a fire
broke out on the mountains near Co-
burn and among the men summoned
to help fight it by fire warden George
H. Wirt were the above-mentioned.
All the others responded but these
men refused. Mr. Wirt later brought
action against the six men under the
forest fire protection act. The men
came into court yesterday morning
and plead guilty to the charge, and
after explaining to them the law re-
{ quiring them to fight fires when asked
to do so, the court sentenced each one
to pay a fine of one dollar and costs
of prosecution, which amounted in
each case to $19.60. The men all set-
tled promptly.
