ENGLISH AIRMAN'S DEATH.
FORCED TO GO UP IN HEAVY WEATHER. LONDON, March 7. At the inquest on Geoffrey England, who was killed while monoplaning at Stonehenge on Wednesday, the evidence showed that the Bristol Company sent orders that four monoplanes intended for the Roumanian' Government must be tested before Thursday whether the weather was good, bad or indifferent. England refused to fly on Sunday, although a Roumanian Prinoe. now visiting England, personally requested him to do so. England wrote to his mother on Monday "They don't care if our necks are broken so long as the Prince is satisfied." A verdict of accidental death was returned.
