Seven Killed As Bomber Crashes
UNIONTOWN, Ala., Dec. 24.— 1 UP 1—Something extraordinary occurred aboard the army bomber which crashed in flames last night, after an explosion heard 20 miles away, killing sever men. The bodies of all were horribly segmented and the segments were scattered over an area of 15 acres. The largest piece of the plane which could be found was 0 tiny segment of its tail bearing the single vvetd, “Army.” Army officers supervising the task of gathering the pieces of human bodies and fragments of airplane from the black mud of the rain-soak-ed prairie country, were sure of only one thing that it hadn’t been an ordinary airplane accident. There quite apparently had been a terrific explosion aboard the ship just before it crashed. They received a suggestion of sabotage in silence. An army board of inquiry will go into that
late.'.
Early today, only the fragments of j four bodies nail been gathered and these fragments could not be abscribed to one identity. The pieces making up the three more bodies still | were to be found. The crew of the ship was as fol-

The plane was a B-18 twin-motor-od Douglas bomber, identical to the bomber which crashed during a rain storm near LaGrange, Ga, Nov. 18, killing eight soldiers. It was raining hard when the plane crashed last night. It flew low over Uniontown scon after 6 p. m. (7 p. m. EDT> suggesting that the pilot was not sureof his way. Soon after it had passed over, there was a terrific explosion which, Uniontown resident said, was accompanied by a burst of flames and rattled the windows of houses for miles around. The explosion was heard by residents as fari, as 20 miles away. The plane apparently cettled to the ground in many pieces. The pieces fell over the rich, black soil of this farming country, which, because of heavy rains, was a thick, sticky gumbo. The condition of the dirt roads made the task of reaching the wreckage difficult and slowed the work of salvage. Note books and the other personal papers of the victims were found scattered about. The plane was en route to Mitchel Field, N. C., from its base at Hamilton Field, Cal., and the flight was said to have been an unofficial one. It wan said that the piano was nof carrying bombs, thus eliminating
