Merely Brunch of Discipline.
An air cadet in England recently
swooped down toward a country road
while practicing diving and struck a
carriage In which two convalescent
officers were driving.
Both officers
were killed. When the cadet eras put
oc trial the defense set up the idea
that there had been no such culpable
negligence as would Justify a verdict
of manslaughter, although the pilot had
committed a breach of discipline In
flying low over the road. The cadet
was acquitted.
