MURPHYSBORO, 111., Aug. 12.—
Paul Montgomery, local aviator, was
arrested here today by Sheriff Wil-
liam Flanigan for investigation in
connection with the airplane bombing
of mining properties in the vicinity

statement other than to deny he had
flown in the vicinity of Providence
yesterday or that he had any connec-
tion with the air raid. Immediately
