HOW MOISSANTMET HIS DEATH
American Aviator Thrown from His
Car at New Orleans.
HE FALLS ONE HUNDRED FEET
Mark I an Tama Head how. said

Vlt Martin. I Badly
Wrecked.
NEW ORLEANS. tee. SI. John B. Mols
ant. daring American aviator, confident
of adding to hi many laurel of the air
the Mlchelen cup record for 1910, fell to hi
death at :J6 thl morning while making a
preliminary flight.
While preparing to make a landing cn a
special field selected for the Mlchelen cup
trial twelve miles west of New Orleans
and along the bank of the Mlnslsslppl river,
Molssant was thrown from a Wertot mono
plane and landed on his head thirty-si
feet from wher the machine struca the
ground. His neck was broken, producing
death within ten seconds, according to the
coroner.
A moment after Molsaant struck the
earth, falling In high weed to the tight
of the field, some workmen picked him up.
A special train of flat car wa standing
near the scene of the accident and the
body was placed aboard and brought to the
city.
Wind anae of Accident.
Wind, apparently, was the cauoe of the
accident. Molssant, guided by the white
flaKS which lined the course, rounded the
circle twice in an effort to find a landing
place. The third time around the wind,
which was blowing about fifteen miles
across the course, drove the machine to
ward the earth. Molsxant in trying to get
back over the grounds swerved suddenly
to the left and then attempted hi famous
right circle, considered so dangerous that
there Is but one other man who ever at
tempted it.
At this Instant the wind caught the ma
chine. It tipped, pointed Its nose directly
at the ground and came down like a flash,
while Molssant was hurled forth and feU
heid first.
Molasant was In Recne Barrier's fifty
horsepower Blerlot monoplane, u machine
which he had used but two or three times.
At the front of the machine, almost
directly beneath the engine, was strapped
a thlrty-flve-pallon brass gasoline tank,
built especially for the Michelin cup trial.
Flight from llty.
Molssant ascended at the City Park avia
tion field at 9:35 a. ni. and flew acrois
the city and along the banks of the Missis
sippi river to the special four-mile course.
He appeared tc have perfect control of the
machine and probably no one will ever be
able to explain just what caused the ac
cident, lie had Inclined his monoplane
toward the earth for a landing before It
took the fatal plunge. It fell like a plum
met and burled the propellers in the soft
esrth.
Molaant had a sister, married, living in
San Francisco; two sisters wer with him
here. Marlda and Lulu. One brother, Al
fred J., was the president of the Interna
tional Aviators' association. He was not
present when the accident occurrred.
Molnaant also has two brothers in Salvador
in the banking business.
Bod? Will He Taken to t hlcnao. '
No arrangement ha been made as to the
disposition of the body, but It probably Will
be shipped to Chicago. '
The report that Molssant. who had en
deared himself to thousands of New Or
leans citizen-, had met a srriou accident,
spread rapidly, and when the special bear
ing his body arrived at the Union station,
there was a vast crowd surrounding the
train shed. An ambulance and aeveral sur
geons were In waiting, and as the train
drew In aeveral men leaped to the plat
form and, running to the ambulance, told
the surgeons that Molasant whs uncon-
sc'ous. but still alive. The first surgeon,
however, who reached the tlatcar saw
that the aviator waa dead.

NEW YORK, LfC 31 John B. Mobsant,
who was lulled In New Orleans, won the
heart of every lover of the daring sport
when on October 30 he flew from Belmont
park around the statue of liberty .and back
to the aviation field, 'thereby wresting from
the Englishman, Claude Grahame-White.
one of the most highly prized of the tro
phies offend for aerial feats.
Interest In the young man became so In
tense locally at that time that the news of
the fatal accident caused an unusual shock
In this city. Expreesions of grief followed
an announcement of the new In the local
headquartei of the Aero Club of America.
Molssant was born In Chicago In 1873 and
lived there until he was l'J years old. He
thin started for the Pacific coast, drifted
down to Central America, became a soldier
of fortune and trader and waa driven from
Ban Salvador when the general under
whom he waa fighting met defeat.
Moipsant at that time was wealthy, but
hi property was confiscated by the gov
ernment. Soon afterward he went to Kpain
and later appeared In Paris when the
Wright brother wer there exhibiting their
machine.
Many Darin Esplolta.
From the start hi career as an aviator
was marked with daring exploits. He first
came Into the World's prominence so re
cently a August last, when he started on
a flight from Pari to London with a paa-
senger, Albert Kileaux. He successfully
crossed the English channel, being the first
aviator to accomplish this feat with a
passenger. .
Moiaant arrived in New York on October
m last, and was one of the most interesting
figures in th avlition meet In Belmont
park. He had a narrow escape from death
last Tuesday in New Orleans. After being
blown five mile from his course by a
forty miles an hour wind, he glided down
from an altitude of nearly 9.nnu feet and
tiarely escaped a rough lauding in a clump
of trees. .

he had set a new world's altitude record

a broken viass of humanity lay beneath
a torn bit of rsnvss and some broken
spar.
Meet Death In Kim Manner.
- Roth met death In almont the snme man
ner. Earh machine was headed for the
earth and suddenly seemed to stop, hover,
then "turn over onto Its nose" snd- dive
headlong to the earth-and to dlatructlon.
Molssant's aeroplsne waa a Blerlot mono
plane and In addition to the heavy engine
In front of the main planes, he had fas
tened a tank holding thirty-five gallons
of gasoline. Aviation experts believe a
sudden puff of wind stopped his machine
In th air and the heavy weight ahead
dragged the light framework behind It,
flipping the then useleaa elevator toward
the senlth In derision.
From- his position partly back of the
marti planes. Molstant was flipped o'U,
clear of the machine and struck the ground
breaking his neck. He died on a flat car
on which ho was being ruahed to New
Orleans.
Hoxsey, likewise, was returning from a
Journey Into the clouds. He was within
800 feet of th earth and cheers were going
up to meet him, when hi machine, like
wise, seemed to stop still, shudder and
whirl over and over to the ground. A
In the morning's trsgedy the rear eleva
tor, rendered useless when the momentum
was gone, flopped around useless.
Hox.ey'a Effort. I'aeleaa.
Hoxsey vainly endeavored to right his
craft by warping th main planes and by
the use of the rudder. Vain attempt they
were, for before sufficient momentum was
gained, the structure crumpled upon the
earth, the heavy engine being torn looe.
Only a few farm hand saw Molssant hur
tle to his death, but Hoxsey' end came
before the horrified gaze of thousands
who had come out during the pleasant
afternoon to watch the birdmen darting
here and there through the air, shaming
the birds themselves. In a few moment
an announcer, sadly lifting his megaphone,
dragged out the discouraging new to the
still hoping; crowd: "Arch Hoxsey has
been killed. There will be no more flying
today."
Mrs. C. M. Hoxsey of Pasadena. Cal.,
missed by a mere accident seeing her son
meet his death. She hsd arranged to at
tend the tournament and to take her first
aeroplane ride with her son. Borne eMail
of importance in her household kept her
at home and word of the accident was
taken to her by Roy Knabenschue and
Thomas Jackson of the Wright Exhibi
tion company.
Prevlooa Forecasts.
Forecasts of a fatal accident were made
in both instances. A fifteen-mile wind
with gusty Intervals caused hangar at
tendants to shake their heads at Molssant,
but he laughed at them and sailed up for
a try at the long distance sustained lflgnt
and the Michelin cup with It attendant
$t,0f prize. Death was the victor In the
long contest It ha fought with the tar
ing Chicagoan.
When Walter Brooklna and Hoxaey, s-ho,
with Parmelee, alone were left of the
Wright exhibiting teams, wheeled their
machine out, warnings were offered by
half a acore of other flyer, each of whom
bor a record for daring In the air.
"If too full of hole up there today,"
they' all agreed. "If Jut like a Swiss
cheese, better stay on the ground."
Hoxsey, amlllng a he had done on a day
In a similar wind when ha had con un into
the flue to a new world record for height,
again took the air. Ilia barograph still
running when the crowds reached the heap
of humanity and canvas and broken sticks,
ahowed the fatal drop started when the
aviator had come down to within 563 foet
of the ground.
Hoxsey met with one of hi flrt acci
dents during hi visit to Lincoln the first
week In September, while he was maklnn
an exhibition flight for the state fair
crowda. He fell on a speed barn and his
machine waa wrecked. It was not lona
after this that he first came Into the
limelight by taking Colonel Roosevelt for
a flight at St. Loul.
Detail of lloxaey'a Fall.
LOS ANGELES, Dec, 31. Arch Hoxsey
had been the star performer at the big meet
that began here last Saturday. Day after
day he took out his machine and ascended
to Invisible heights. In fact there has
not been a day when the airman had not
gone beyond the range of human vision,
disappearing behind fleecy cloud or
swinging In ever widening circle until he
crossed the mountains or hung over the
sea. His prolotiged absence from the field
day .after day gave rise to the salutation
of one friend to another on the ground:
"Haa anybody her aeen Hoxsey?"
No one felt fear for him however, as he
always came back, returning toward earth
In a spectacular and terrifying seifes of
spiral dtps until he would land directly
In front of the grandstand. He wa the
favorite of the crowds and waa always
greeted with applause when he rams out
and with a wave of his hand started on
hi altitude trial.
Held Altltnd Record.
On Monday last Hoxsey brok the world's
altitude record, ascending 11.474 feet, al
most 1,000 feet greater than the previou
record. This feat wa hie upreme record
and when he returned to th field after
nearly three hour absence he was carried
before the grandstand on th shoulder of
his admirer.
But Hoxsey wa not atisfied with thl
record. Ever sine Monday he had as
cended dally for another try for altitude.
11 found th conditions favorable, but
tould never reach Monday' height. On
Tuesday he made .0 feet, Wednesday
8.500, Thursday lO.OOu, when he crosaed
4,700 feet above the summit of Mount Wll
on, aom twenty-five mile from the avia
tion field, and yesterday, 10.67ft.
When hi came down, Hubert Latham,
the French aviator, had Juat ea.ayed a
flight In his bird-like Antoinette. He cam
down rapidly but cautiously when he saw
Hoxsey fall. He landed within a few feet
of the spot. where the Wright biplane fell.
Leaping out of his machine the Jtttie
Frenchman wa among th first to reacn
the wreckage and lift the dead aviator out.
Body Badly Mangled.
It was found that Hoxsey's body waa
terribly mangled and broken. Ills Jeft Jaw
had been fractured, his goggles had been
shattered and the fragments of gtaas driven
Into his eyes and all of th rib of hi right
aide had been crushed. A broken strut,
one of the wooden stanchions between tho
upper and lower planes, had been driven
through his body under the lowest rib.
' one leg was bent almost double below
I the knte and the other wa broken In tvo
or three place.
' Hoxsey's barograph Instrument were b
! aolutcly uninjured. They were running aa
if nothing had happened when tha Judges
lohk charge of them. The charts ahowed
that Hoxsey fell a dletance of Mi feet. Ho
had been up 7.142 feet and had begun the
fatal glide, while at au altitude of 6.07 J
feet.
-iham said he was watching Hoxsey
when h entered the vortex of the counter
current that caused hi fall.
"It wa the same 'bole In th air,' that
caused me to alight." ald lb Frenchman.
"From the action of Hoxsey machine,
the conflicting currents were wsrrlng l.T'X)
or 1.800 feet up. When Hoxaey started his
laat glide one current caught the rlKht
end of his planes and lifted the machine
up and turned It over.
"At best In thee spiral glides an avia
tor has but a dangerously narrow margin
of air bank to support him. Hoxsey seemed
to slip out of the bsnk entirely and he fell
like a brick. In my opinion the fall wits
due entirely to th treacherous air cur
rent. "I never saw such bad meterlologtcal ron
dltlona In my life as prevailed today. Hox
sey' machine was Intact until It struck
the ground."
rrw Manifested.
After the announcement that there would
be no more flight today hundreds of spec
tators, both men and women, remained In
the grandstand.
Members of the aviation committee were
stunned by the tragic accident.
Within a few minutes after Hoxsey's
body had been borne to th field hospital,
the American flag flying over his hangar
was lowered to half-mast and the curtains
were drawn before the entrance.
James Radley, the English aviator,
sprang on the roof of his own hangar next
door and climbing the flagpole likewise
half-masted his St. George' cross.
All the flying machines standing on the
field were drawn Into their shelters, cur
tains wer drawn and the member of the
camps withdrew Into their own quarters
and sst about with bowed heads In their
hands. Many of them wept and were un
able to apeak.
Aviator Charles K, WHIard, who had pre
dicted an accident Just a moment before
the tragedy, burst Into tears.
Glenn Curtiss, habitually taciturn, gave
Just one laconlo order: "Tear down the
bunting; lower all the flags," he Instructed
his mechanics, and all the gay trimmings
disappeared speedily from the Curtiss
hangar.
All the amateurs who had been experi
menting with Tying machines made Imme
diate preparations to quit the flying game.
Two tenta were removed within a few min
utes after Hoxsey's crash to earth.
