[the plane was in mid-air, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928. AIR WAIL FLIR KILLED IN CRASH Body Found in Burned Wreck- age of Plane Polk, Pa., Oct, 19.—(—The burn. ed plane and cremated body of Air Mail Pilot William C. Hopson was found three miles southwest of here early today by searchers who sought out the plane after having received reports of flares having been drop- ped early yesterday. Hopson was flying the ‘mail route between New York and Cleveland. He was due to arrive in the Ohio city at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Yesterday residents of this town re- ported that at 2 a. m. they saw the plane traveling westward and that a bright light burst from the ship as it passed peyond a hill. The light ‘was believed to be a flare, Hopson was out of the dangerous Pennsylvania mountajn region when he crashed. He passed over Clarion, about 30 miles east of here, almost on scheduled time. Hopson's body was found in a small patch of woods. A guard was placed about the fallen plane and its pilot. No attempt was made to re- move Hopson's body from the debris unti ‘officials of the air mail had in- | spected the wreckage. While yesterday's report of a light bursting from the ship was taken to indicate that Hopson had dropped a flare in an attempt to find & suitable landing place, it is be- tieved an explosion occurred while PLAINVILLE NEWS (Continued From Page 9) .

Hickm received and read three other com- forting letters from relatives « uring the morning. There was a telegram from Rev. Edward Brady, in Rochester, N. Y., who was one of Hickman's fi “t spiritual advisers after he entered san Quentin. Indifferent to Fate Apparently Indifferent to the’ fate awaiting him, Hickman, awoke this morning after a short but :ound sleeep .and chatted with guards about his career of crime. The condemned youth reviewed his crime career from the' first time he held up a drug clerk to the kid- naping and murder of 12 year old Marian Parker in Los Angeles. “This was the -most atrocious crime in hitory.” he said. At 8:30 3. m. he had not had his breakfast, although he said that he would ‘“eat something it they brought it.” Guards said that he made no inquiries about the time of day. He waited anxiously, however, for the arrival of a priest. Rev. William A. Fleming, his spiritual adviser, set § to 8 o'clock for administering the final consola- tions of the Roman Catholic church which faith he recently embraced. The priest paid Hickman a three hour visit last night. | Writes to Cell Mate | Hickman demonstrated his atti- | tude in a note written to Russell | St. Clair Beitzel, of Los Angele: now under death sentence for mur- der. Beitzel was Hickman's cell mate for a time before the latter was | moved to the death cell. The note said: “I'm very comfortable here, Rus: I'm not a bit frightened either. To- morrow I'm going to walk up like man. Say good-bye to my friends for me and tell them I'll see them soon.” Hickman transformed the death cell into a room of flowers and music yesterday. He asked Warden James Holohan for the phonograph which is passed around among the prisoners in “condemned row,” and for flowers. A big bunch of red petunias was gathered for him from the prison garden. The youth spent nearly half an | hour arranging the bouquet, alternately played the Phonogr: and wrote letters. | He received a final letter from his | mother, Mrs. Eva M.

Mrs. Hickman wrote words of com- fort and expressed her regret at not | being able 10 bid him farewell. The youth read the letter several times.” Review of Case The Kkidnapping and killing of little Marian Parker in Los Angeles last December constituted probably the most diabolical and sensation: crime in recent California history. It aroused the nation because of its brutality, lack of motive and utter- ly strange joy the Killer took in basking in publicity following dis- | closure of the slaying. | Apparently untroubled by a con- science, the murdered, William Ed- | ward Hickman of Kansas City, ap- proached death with only a perfunc- | tory expression of sorrow that he had taken the lite, then flrndishly‘l hacked to pieces the body of a girl he did not even know. Many alicnists who examined Hickman failed to agree on the com- plex of the 21 year old murderer, as there seemed no standard in upon which to base an accurate conception of the killer. Apparently with no other motive than to commit such a glaring crime that he would go down in criminal annals as a master-minded criminal, Hickman climaxed a brief life of petty crime with the fiendish mur- Ger. Kidnapped Dec. 15 He obtained possession of the girl | last December 15 by calling at her school and tclling a teacher that her father, Perry M. Parker, an officer in the First National bank at Los Angeles, was injured and wished his davghter to return home. He said he was an employe in the bank. As Marian had a twin sister in the same school, the teacher asked him which girl was wanted. “The young- est one,” he replied. The teacher, thinking the pleasant-faced youth wanted the smaller of the girls, ask- ed if it was Marian he meant, and he said it was. Hickman later said he drove the girl to his apartment, and told her she had been kidnapped. He said she thought it was great fun, and seemed thrilled. That night he took the girl to a neighborhood show. Meanwhile he said, he had decided to hold her for ransom and directed a letter to her father asking $1500, signing it “The Fox". which pseudo- nym he used in subscquent ransom letters. The next night, Hickman said it came to him to kill the girl, al- though he didn't want to as he rather liked her, and she seemed to enjoy the kidnaping experience. The murder was committed in Hickman's apartment. He said he choked her with a towel.

Oct. 19 UP—Appointment of Stanley (Bucky) Harris as mane ager of the Detroit American League baseball team, was ane | nounced today by Frank J. Navin, president of the local club. " Harris, who led the Washington American I.cague team to two pennants and & world’s championship title, succeeds George Moriarty, whose resignation was announced this week. The length of the Harris contract and ws tinancial terms were withheld, Part of the negotiations that bring Harris to Detroit involved the transe ter of Jackie Warner, Detroit ine ficlder, to the Washington club. Har. i ris said he would be in uniform daily Lut would play on the Tiger team only in emergencies. Harris' sclection to succeed Mori- arty was forecast almost with the close of the major league season this year, when he came to Detroft for a conference with President Navin, | At that time neither Navin nor Har. ris would discuss the conference. The rumors of Harris' selection were given added weight with an. | nouncement 1hat Walter Johnson would take over the reins at Wash. ington, followed shortly afterward hy Moriarty's resignation. Criticism of Moriarty's manages ment of the Tigers began early in | the present season, his second as {leader of the teams of which several rs ago he was third baseman. In is resignation Moriarty blamed | "unfavorable circumstances” for the poor showing of the Tigers. He did ‘nm attempt to explain what he Imeant by the phrase, but added that Ihis experience had taught him to ;wwcem the reverses of baseball with |{the same spirit that accompanies success.” The Detroit team finished fourth and sixth in the league standing un- der Moriarty's leadership in 1927 |and 1925, Renier, Pickhardt & Dunn Mg — BABY WEEK — Come to look over our large stocks of babywear, nursery letulm?u PHONE 1409 Vants and Carter-Bands, Shirts, Drawers and Night gowns.
