OMAHA, Neb., May 18 (UP) —
Charles H. (Speed) Holman, 32,
famous avjator, chose certain death
rather than imperil the lives of
spectators at the Omaha Air Races,
pilots who witnessed his fatal
plunge agreed today.
Holman died as spectacularly as
he had lived when his plane struck
the ground at a speed of nearly
300 miles an hour before the eyes
of 20,000 persons packed in the
grandstands at the air races.
It was his desire to give that
crowd a greater thrill than any
they had seen during the after-
noon’s program that caused his
death.
Holman put his plane through
Outside loops and barrel rolls while
the crowd gasped. It was an ex-
hibition of stunt flying such as
seldom had. been seen in the mid-
dle west.
As Holman flew, Joseph Boud-
win( inspector of aeronautics for
the Department of , Commerce and
officials of the local air meet anx-
iously awaited on the ground for
him to land.
Had he done so safely, his li-
cense tvould have been taken away
from him, it was learned, because
in furnishing the crowds its big
thrill Holman was endangering
spectators’ lives as well as his
own.
Suddenly Holman shot his plane
toward the ground. He was fly-
ing upside down and the craft was
traveling at terrific speed.
Holman apparently had misjudg-
ed his distance from the ground.
Tho craft swung down to within
10 or 15 feOr of the fround.
It would have taken a tremen-
dous effort for Holman to right

it would have hurtled over a low
fence and into the grandstand.
The ship wavered not a foot
for its direct path, as Holman, still
flying upside down, tried desper-
ately Yor altitude. .
His ship was 50 feet from the
fence when it plowed into the
ground and was splintered into
hundreds of pieces. When the
speedometer was found the indi-
cator was “frozen” at 258 miles
an hour.
A moment after the crash, the
airport announcer asked over the
lound speaker that spectators keep
their seat. The high school band
struck up a lively tune.
Tex Rankin, stunt aviator from
Portland, Ore., took the air and
began a series of rolls and twists
that drew the eyes of the crowd
from the mass of wreckage in
front of them in which lay the
body of Holman.
As Holman’s body was lifted in-
to an ambulance, the announcer
began calling off the entries for
another race on the day’s program,
and the pilots swung their planes
into position.
“Speed wouldn’t have wanted
the show stopped on his account,”
officials explained.
The theory that Holman’s safety
belt was broken was discounted
today, although some pilots who
stood on the field close to the ac-
cident insisted he was hanging too
far out of the cockpit to have
complete control of his ship.
The fact that he was an unusually
large man, 6 feet 4 inches tall,
may have accounted for this be-
lief.
The body of Holman will be sent
tonight to his home in Minneapo-
lis for burial.

CHICAGO, May 18 (UP) -Re-
ports that gangs in at least three
cities were hunting John “Jake
the Barber” Facto: to kidnap or
kill him spurred police of two
continents on today in their search
for the former hair-cutter whom Ushcd himself,
they accused of taking millions
of dollars through sale of fraudu-
lent oil and mining stocks.
Federal and city detectives who
raided Factor’s 14-room apart-
ment only a few minutes after he
was reported to have left it admit-
ted they believed he might sur-
render and face swinndling
charges in England rather than
take the chance of being killed by
Jack “Legs” Diamond of New
York or kidnaped by a midwest-
tern gang.
Police said they believed that
Diamond and Factor, once frlehds,
had been playing a’ deadly game
of hide and seek for months and
trying to toy each other with-bul-
lets because Factor refused to di-
vide with Diamond the millions he
made In England after fleeing to
that country with a forged pass-
port furnished him by the New
York gangster.
The officers pointed out that
shortly after Diamond went to
Europe Just year, presumably in
search of Factor, he was shot five
times. Three weeks ago Diamond
was shot again and almost killed.
It was known that after Factor
was indicted in Florida on charges
of selling approximately $1,000,-
000 worth of “Ocean Land” he se-
cured the aid of Diamond in fleeing
to Europe. Officers understood
there was' an agreement that in
England the smooth talking ex-
barber was to operate a huge
swindle and divide the profits with
Diamond. They say he was so
Successful he snubbed Diamond
and that the feud developed.
Coupled with this were reports’
that gangs Iri New York, St. Louis a
and Chicago had been hunting Fac-
tor for weeks to kidnap hta.
knowing he had made millions in
Europe and could pay huge ran-
som, yet could not appeal to police
for protection because the police
wanted him also.
The possibility that Factor
might surrender was seen in ad-
vances made by his attorney, Ar-
thur L. Schwarts, totzthe English
and American detectives seeking
him here under complaint sworn
out by Godfrey Haggard, British
Consul to Chicago. This complaint
charged that Factor, with the aid
of Harry Green and others, sold
more than $2,000,000 worth of
worthless stock in England, pro-
moting the sales through, a finan-
cial weekly paper which he pub-
