Two Instantly Killed When Plane Crashes At Souther Field
Two young aviation men, Carroll Clark and J W Morris, were killed when a Curtiss DNJ plane crashed near Souther Field after a practice spin. Morris, the instructor, was piloting during an apparent ocean roll and the craft entered a tail spin at about 200 feet. The wreck exploded on impact, killing both instantly. Clark was found in the front seat and Morris in the rear. The plane belonged to Welbur Smith, and Morris had flown it from Montezuma earlier that day.
