Airways Liner In Mystery Accident

ALL THREE OCCUPANTS KILLED

Cologne, March 18. The four-engined Imperial Airways liner Jupiter from Croydon bound for Cologne was found wrecked and burnt near a hunt- ing lodge in the hilly Berkelm district of Wurtemberg. All the three occupants of the liner were found dead. They were Capt. Holmes, the pilot, Mr. Langham, wireless operator, and Mr. Charles Wooley Dod, European general manager of Imperial Air- Ways.

She was due here at 2.30 a.m., but when she failed to arrive anxiety for her safety began to increase, culminating in a wide search of the country east of Brussels by Belgian, British and German planes-Reuter.
