‘Tomboy’ Blonde Learns to Fly in Record Time

Charlotte Hodgkinson

V,)) SF.A Rerrice OUEENS VILLAGE, N. Y., Sept. 4.—Charlotte Hodgkinson, the ‘tomboy of Queens Village,’’ has been up to something again. This time she has been up in an airplane—by herself —and after only two hours and twenty-seven minutes of instruction! But though aviation experts may be amazed by her feat, the acquaintances of pretty 19-year-old Charlotte aren’t. It’s just another of their blond neighbor girl's “capers.” They just knew she’d “do something nobody else would try.” And it really w r as “something” when Charlotte made a solo flight at Curtiss airport, Long Island, after having had only 147 minutes of teaching. An army officer, who flew alone after three hours and twenty minutes of instruction, set a record that stood for years. Furthermore, Miss Hodgkinson was actually at the controls of the plane, with an instructor beside her, after but fifty-seven minutes of Instruction.

Sheaffer that she did not have a legal representative. “I have not obtained the services of an attorney, your honor,” she said. “I am at the mercy of the court. I am without funds and the first mortgage has been foreclosed on my property. I throw myself on the mercy of your honor’s court.” John Raferty, attorney, appeared before Sheaffer and said he had heard Mrs. Leggerwood had consulted eighteen lawyers, but had retained none of them. Raferty said a note had been left at the law office of Charles Schlosser, who was out of the city, asking that he represent her. He has not bee ndetained formally, Raferty told the court. “You will get an attorney or I will name one for you and you will stand trial next Wednesday morning,” Sheaffer told the alleged proprietor of the Oriental Nook. The raid was made Aug. 20 by Sergeant Edwin Kruse. A quantity of liquor was found in the place and several persons were imbibing when the raid was staged, officers said.
