17 PERSONS KILLED IN CRASH OF AIRLINER.
Cheshire, Conn. (AP) -- Seventeen persons, including a baby flying for a reunion with its serviceman father, perished yesterday in a wrecked Miami-to-Boston Eastern Airlines plane which burst into flames in mid-air and crashed into heavy brush land.
The body of the baby, child of MRS. CHARLOTTE STURMAN, and a serviceman, apparently just returned from overseas, was the last to be removed from the crumpled remains of the plane which figured in Connecticut's worst air disaster. MRS. STURMAN was among the victims.
So furious were the flames that it was hours before the air liner which served as a pyre for the Boston-bound travelers cooled sufficiently to allow rescuers to remove the bodies. Until that sad task had been completed, officials had been in doubt about the exact number of dead.
