AEROPLANE CRASH.
SOLITARY SFECTATOR. BODIES BURNT BEYOND RECOGNITION. [By Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Tuesday, 7.30 p.m.) PARIS, May 14. An aeroplane crash occurred at Monsures. Only one spectator saw the machine. It was flying apparently all right, then suddenly it became a mass of flames. It seemed to stagger and reel, then fell headlong to earth. Six bodies, burned beyond recognition, were found underneath the wreckage. The fa.Qt that there was no survivor and that the log book was burned has delayed the discovery of the identity of the killed. Their names are believed to be Mrs. Juanita Bates, of Brooklanrls, Surrey. Messrs. Laurence Schwab, of New York, Knaman, A. Finn. Pirott. manager of the French Air Union, the owners of the machine, Lemien, the pilot, and Jobert, the mechanic.
