EIGHT DIE AS : PLANE CRASHES I Six Passengers, Two Pilots Are Killed In , Crash St. Louis, Aug. 6.— (U.R)— Flvt ’ minutes after a new, latest model transport plane left Lambert-St. Louis field last night, it crashed, killing six passengers' and two pilots. Early today a searchinK party came upon the wreckage and made the first report of the tragedy. Every occupant of the plane died. It crashed a few minutes after it lost radio contact with the airport, smashing down on a farm 16 miles north of St. Louis and three miles north of the field. Weather conditions, while not ideal, were good. Airport and airline officials could give no reason for the disaster. The bodies were taken to a funeral parlor at Clayton. Coming in from New Orleans on schedule, the plane took off for ( Chicago and lost contact with the i local airport. It was determined that the crash occurred not later than five minutes after the plane departed. There was some official curiosity regarding delay in reporting the accident. It occurred before midnight but word of it did not reach the coroner's office of St. Louis county until 2:30 a. m. Airline officials said the accident was reported as soon as information reached the airport. The dead: W. S. Bartlett, Chicago. D. R. McDavitt. Chicago. Georgy Grashaber. Oak Bark. 111. C. B. Wright, Hinsdale. 111. A. R. Holt. 24. Boston, Mass. Vernon Omlie. Memphis. Tenn. Carl Zier. Chicago, pilot. Russell Mossman. New Orleans, co-pilot. ) The plane was a new 10-passeng-er Lockheed-Electra, described as the most modern of transport , ships. It was regularly scheduled between New Orleans and Memphis. and left New Orleans yesterday at 5:30 p. nt. It was scheduled to arrive in Chicago at 12:55 a. m. today. Airline officials placed a squad of guards around the plane, preventing photographers from taking pictures. The scene of the accident was in the rolling hills adjacent to the Missouri river. It is a sparsely settled agricultural oistrict. The plane did not burn. Apparently it crashed nose down into a piece of pasture land. Carleton Putnam, president of the airline company, said the crash occurred shortly after 10 p. m. He said the airport lost radio contact with the plane about five minutes after it took off. “The operator called the plane repeatedly.” he said, “and when it did not respond we called the Chicago airport and told them the plane was missing." Finally a searching party organized, made up mostly of ground workers, mechanics and office men. They were deployed over an area of several acres and advanced on foot in the general direction the plane followed. "After searching several hours we found the wreck," Putnam said. ; “The plane was not badly damaged. All occupants were dead. It was impossible to ascertain the cause of the accident.” George Behlmann. owned the farm where the plane crashed. He ! told the United Press that he was I in bed when he heard the plane overhead. “The motor sounded very loud Penny Dance K. of P.
