Schmidt is shown to the left below. In the center and to the right below are two pictures of Nelson taken at Cleveland, O., a week ago by Cyril Niquette, Two Rivers. The pictures were developed and printed this morning and were never seen by Nelson. Photo of the wrecked plane is by the Herald-Times photographer. Edward Nelson, Pilot, And Orley Schmidt Are Victims Two persons were killed and two others seriously injured early last night when a cabin plane piloted by Edward J. Nelson, Manitowoc aviator and businessman, fell into an oat field on the Henry Klackner farm on the Town Line road just north of the Municipal Airport. The dead: Nelson, 53, of 709 St. Clair street, instantly killed. Suffered a basal skull fracture, severe lacerations of the face and forehead, internal injuries and broken ankles. Orley Schmidt, 17, of 1809 Belmont street, former high school athlete and student pilot, died a few minutes after the crash of a brain concussion. His left arm was broken at the shoulder. The injured: Eugene Schmatz, 19, Branch in a grave condition at the Holy Family hospital suffering from a brain concussion, a broken neck, and leg fractures. Emil Opichka, 18, Newton, at the hospital suffering from a broken nose and fractured right ankle. Opichka, who regained consciousness at the hospital this morning, told physicians that he recalled nothing after climbing into the rear seat of the plane shortly before Nelson took off from the airport. Physicians said the shock of the fall would result in Opichka's loss of memory for 24 or 36 hours. Up 100 feet The plane crashed as Nelson had attained a height of about 100 feet after taking off from the airport, where he had been taking up passengers. Art Donohue, managing the airport in the absence of Elmer Leighton, said today Nelson, who held a transport pilot's license, was turning ten per cent of the money over to the airport management. Witnesses said the motor of the ship died and the plane went into a spin and crashed. The accident occurred few minutes before 8 o'clock. Police received a call at 8 o'clock sharp. Scores of people saw the ship fall and hundreds converged on the Klackner farm as authorities rushed city and county ambulances to the scene. Opichka and Schmatz were taken to the hospital at once. Dr. Norman C. Erdman, who had flown with Nelson during the afternoon, arrived a few minutes after the accident and pronounced Nelson dead. Schmidt was still living when the doctor arrived but died a few moment later without regaining consciousness. A coroner's jury was impanelled today by Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, and District Attorney Patrick Dewane. Members are George Pankratz, Mrs. Jess Dempski, Oscar Belinski, David Dwyer, George Martin, Ed Leschke and Walter Gebrinsky. The jury viewed the bodies and was adjourned to await the outcome of the Opichka and Schmatz' injuries. Says Motor "Died" A local pilot who declined to be quoted said Nelson's motor died shortly after the take-off as the ship was turning to the right. The ship, he said, was rising steeply. When the motor died on the turn the plane nosed down. The motor picked up momentarily but stopped and the ship went into a spin, with the tail turning around with the nose of the ship an axis. It was the spin that many eye-witnesses took for a side-slip. Among the first to reach the wrecked plane were Tony Panosh, Menasha avenue; Officer William McConnell, who was on his front porch watching the plane; Fred Brue and Robert Meyer of the airport; Robert Holschbach and Henry Klackner, on whose farm the accident occurred. Nelson, according to McConnell, was in the pilot's seat and Schmidt was beside him. Opichka and Schmatz were in the rear, pushed under the front seats. The bodies were taken from the plane and placed on the ground. The fusilage was torn away so that the passengers could be extricated. Calls Police Station As McConnell saw the plane fall he rushed into his home and called Lieut. Aaron Peterson at the police station. A moment later, Lt. Peterson received a call from Adolph Marquardt, 1115 South 15th street, that a plane had fallen and four people we injured. Peterson dispatched the city ambulance with Officers Elmer Scherer and William Diegel and called the county ambulance, which was sent from the sheriffs office. "I was watching the plane as it climbed up over the trees," McConnell said. "As it was banking, I heard the motors die. Then the ship slid sideways to its left and I heard a loud "swoosh" as it hit the field." Holschbach, who also saw the plane fall, claimed he heard the motors turn over just a second before the plane hit the ground. Nelson, a licensed transport pilot, was a World war veteran and had been flying for about 12 years. Last September he purchased the Fairchild ship for $7,000. Tells of Crash Norman Kleman, student flyer at the airport, an eye-witness, said: "Taking off to the east, the motor suddenly went dead at about 100 feet. The pilot apparently attempted to circle northward in an attempt to bring his plane around to the landing on the field. However, the plane lost speed and altitude rapidly and crashed." Roy Lamach and Francis Kelley, both of Cato, narrowly missed making the fatal flight. They had purchased tickets and were ready to get into the plane when Opichka and Schamtz pushed in ahead of them. Angry at having to wait until the next flight, Kelley and Lamach watched the plane take off. A moment later they saw it crash into the oat field. They rushed to the scene and helped remove the victims from the plane. Perry Hodgden, investigator of the Air Safety Board of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, Chicago and Burleigh Putman, Jr., inspector of the Wisconsin district for the Civil Aeronautics Authority arrived here early this morning to investigate the crash. They would not reveal their finds because of board regulations but sent reports to Washington immediately. Within a few moment after the crash hundreds of people arrived at the Klackner farm and traffic jammed along the townline road. Scores ran across fields, knocking down Klackner's stand of oats, cutting and breaking fences, to reach the plane. They tore souvenir strips from the fuselage and took pieces of the broken motor. Police and sheriff's men had difficulty getting ambulances through the crowd. Scene of Crash Nelson's plane crashed within 400 feet of the spot where a plane piloted by Melvin Thompson, 41, Kohler flyer, fell August 12, 1929, in a field on the Henry Klackner farm. His passenger, Ruth Williams, 21, of Chicago, a cabaret entertainer, was killed. Thompson, seriously injured, recovered after spending several weeks in the hospital. Thompson was using a ship owned by the late Frank Shoblaska, airport manager, and had taken off from the airport late in the afternoon with Miss Williams. The plane fell from a height of 1,500 feet. Klackner, who was an eye-witness to this crash today pointed to the spot in his field where the city's first airplane tragedy occurred 10 years ago, almost a stone's throw from where the Nelson ship came down last night. Relatives of Nelson had difficulty last night locating his brother, George, who left Saturday on the Yacht Manowis for a week's cruise. He was finally located in Manistique, Mich. Joined Grocery Firm Edward J. Nelson was born in this city in 1886, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius C. Nelson. He attended the northside grade schools and the northside high school. Soon after leaving school he entered the employ of Thomas Higgins, head of the Manitowoc and Northern Traction company. He operated one of the street cars on the local line. In 1906 he entered the Plumb and Nelson company, wholesale grocers, founded by the Nelson and Plumb families. From a position as shipping clerk he advanced to positions of trust with the firm. At the time of his death he was vice- president and secretary, and also division manager for the Clover Farm Stores, an organization of retail establishments serviced by the parent firm. While still a young man Mr. Nelson took the Manitowoc agency for the Indian motorcycle and engaged in dirt track racing in the state. He established records on mile and half mile tracks all over the middle west. When the Untied States entered the World war he joined the service and was assigned to duty with units at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich. Traveled By Air Mr. Nelson took an interest in flying and for nearly 15 years has operated his own planes. He first secured a pilot's license, later was granted a permit to carry passengers and lastly passed strict requirements giving him a transport pilot's license. He was known as one of the most careful plane pilots in the state and never did any "stunting" with his ship. He made numerous cross- country flights to Cleveland, New York and annually attended the automobile races at Indianapolis, making the trip always by air. His newest plane, a Fairchild four-passenger model was acquired only a few months ago. His fraternal affiliations included membership in the Lions club of which he served as first president and was one of the organizers, the Elks, the Manitowoc Chapter of the Izaak Walton league, the Drews post of the American Legion and the Manitowoc Gun club. He never married and made his home with his mother, Mrs. Carrie Nelson at 709 St. Clair street.

Matravers, of Stevens Point, Wis. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the Frazier mortuary chapel. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body may be viewed after two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Orley Schmidt, other victim of the crash, was a high school athlete and had letters in three sports at Lincoln high school the past three years, and was graduated last June. He resided with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schmidt at 1809 Belmont street. He was born in Reedsville in 1921 and 10 years ago accompanied his parents to this city. He attended Wilson junior high school and entered Lincoln high school as a sophomore. He was an end on the football team, a center and guard on the basketball team and a middle distance runner on the track team.
