Probable cause
The pilot's failure to verify that the landing gear was down and locked prior to landing resulting in the airplane being landed with the landing gear retracted.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated he was planning to approach and land on runway 35 at Madison County Airport, when he was informed of the winds by FAA, Jackson Approach Control. He then decided to land on runway 17. This placed him higher on the approach. He lowered the wing flaps and landing gear and approached at a steeper angle and higher than normal speed. The landing gear warning horn sounded as the propellers contacted the runway during the landing flare and touchdown. He believes that when he attempted to lower the landing gear, he placed the handle in the neutral position instead of the down position.
