Funk Doing Well Late last night the.

hospital and his physician stated that he was resting easily, and that his condition was better than was expected. Yesterday afternoon a jury was and inspected the body of Garrett at Johnson's undertaking parlors to which location it had been removed. Judge Harry Smith conducted the inquiry in the county court room, and the story told by was as recounted above. -R. A.

Plumbley stated that he was watching the flight of the aircraft very closely from a short distance away, and-his impression was that the machine started to turn and then seemed to stand still in the air, turning pn the left side and plunging to the ground. An explosion followed, a big cloud of black smoke rising, and when he arrived at the plane it was lust a mass of flame. -Funk, Garrelt's companion, said when witness reached him, that they had made too sharp a turn and that was all he could say. Norman B. Conway, one of the first on the scone, gave evidence and spoke of the hopelessness of trying to reach the doomed aviator, who was dead when lite others got' there.
