UNFAMILIAR PLANE BELIEVED CAUSE OF REDFIELD TRAGEDY Mack Miller, Local Aviator, Will Be Returned Wednesday for Burial Unfamiliarity with the plane he was flying and the failure to “gun” the motor sufficiently to complete a near-vertical bank are believed to have caused the tragic crash near the lives of Mack Miller, young Bis- marck aviator, and his passenger, Miss Sally Pearson of Los Angeles. Miller and Miss Pearson met death when their .craft plunged to .the ground as they were flying low over the farm home of their aunt, Mrs. A. H. Bruell, about one-half mile north of Redfield. were on their way from Bis- ‘YO visit" at" thie Brtel farm’ home when the crash occurred. From. there Miss Pearson planned to go to California to resume her studies. Was Circling, Farm According to witnesses, Miller had already flown over Redfield and had returned to the farm, which he circled to let the Bruells know that he had arrived. As near as could be ascer- tained, Miller put the plane into a vertical bank from which he could not right it. The plane plummeted to the ground from a height of about 40 or 50 feet. The wings were torn off by two trees! and the machine crashed into a bank near the farm buildings, killing the two occupants instantly. Mr, and Mrs. C. A. Miller, 310 First, UL. ROAD SAFETY DRIVE W.

He adopted it as a joke from a radio program and immediately his friends seized upon it and labelled him “Kingfish Long.” Long never did like the title and at one time was heard to remark: “Kingfish, hell. I’m no fish. I’m gonna get me a title with something like lion and tiger in it.” But he never succeeded in es- caping the title “Kingfish.” be is me rela- be ad. vestigate who it was who instigated his attempted murder.” The senator had just stepped from the house chamber after pushing to- ward completion a number of special session acts aimed at the federal ad- ministration, and toward consolidat- ing his already almost unbelievable personal control of the state’s affairs. Felled By 60 Bullets Dr. Weiss, a 30-year old eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, pressed a gun into the senator's stomach and fired. His arm was deflected before he could fire a second shot and Long’s bodyguardsmen, state highway po- licemen, killed him on the spot with @ fusillade of nearly 60 bullets. Dr. ‘Weiss was buried Monday. The leutenants of the Louisiana dictator were stunned momentarily high first but were believed ready to attempt to carry on the powerful regime he es- tablished. On the other hand, Long’s political opponents were expected to make a {strong fight against this effort and to try to gain control themselves.
