COLONEL LINDBERGH
MEETS WITH SLIGHT MISHAP. PLANE OVERTURNS. (Per Press Association —-Copyright). Received this day, 12.30 p.m. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 27. Colonel Lindbergh, when returning to Valbuena flying field from a flight over the neighbouring volcano peaks with his fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow, crashed in landing and after a thirty feet run the aeroplane overturned. Neither of the occupants suffered injury, except that Lindbergh received a slightly bruised wrist. He told the horror-stricken onlookers, “I have nothing to say.” He then explained that he landed in an adjacent field where he dropped one wheel as he took off. He then proceeded to Valbuena where the machine tipped over when he was trying to land on one wheel. He added that it was not an accident, but a “mishap.” He and Miss Morrow picket them selves up and went to their automobile and departed for Mexico City. Colonel Lindbergh was pale and worried and his fiancee appeared very nervous, but neither wished to talk.
