THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1929, TWO SEARCH PLANES BELIEVED REPRESENTATI PLANE DIVES, CARRYING FOUR MEN T0 DEATH Massachusetts Representa- tive, William K. Kay- nor, Among Victims PILOT, THREE OTHERS DEAD IN PLANE CRASH poUR MOUNTAIN FARMERS ACQUITTED e | IN ALLEGED STRANGE MURDER CASE; | , SLAIN MAN APPEARS, AIDS DEFENSE: Investigation Immediately Started as to Real Cause, Disaster WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Repre- centative Willlam K. Kaynor, Re- publican of Massachusetts, and four others were killed in a crash of an army plane of Bolling Field today. The plane started on a proposed flight nor's home and had reached an al- titude of about 400 feet when it crashed. Inquiry was immediately launched to determine the cause of the acci- dent, one of the most serious in the history of Bolling Field. The others killed included Rep- ntative Kaynor's private secre- , Stanley B. Love; Capt. Harry A. Dinger, pilot of the craft which was an army transpert plane; Charles Kunzler, private, and a civ- dal Named MeGOll Field officials closed sources of information pending an inquiry. Weather conditions were perfect for the flight, hardly a cloud beinz | in the sky when the plane ascend- ed. The cause of the' accident is therefore attributed to other than atmospheric conditions. Representative Kaynor was serv- ing his first term in Congress and was only recently placed on the House Military Committee. Charges Against Lieut. Northcott Are Made Public NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 20.—"“Scan- charged against H. W. Northcutt, formerly Lieut. of Norfolk Navy Yard, now held in confinement at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. A Navy courtmartial m will sit in investigation of his case, it was learned here today. Lieutenant Northcutt disappeared from his post of duty at the Navy Yard here early in October. For several days he was thought to have been the victim of foul play, but 11 days later he was found in Vancouver, B. C., allegedly in com- pany with a young woman said to have been a nurse in a New York hospital. Local authorities understand the Navy Department will not file any charge of embezzlement against Lieutenant Northcutt in connection | with his alleged use of funds be- longing to the extension department of the University of Virginia, by reason of the fact that the univer- sity has been paid all monies col- lected by Lieuteant Northcutt. - e Miss Wilhelmine Larsen, teach- er in the Chilkoot school, was a passenger on the Fornance to spend the holidays in Juneau.
