Cochran Called up to Limerick

| special to The News,
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2o.-The
indictments against Henry S. Coch-
ran, who abstracted over one hun.
dred thousand dollars from the gold
bullion vaults Of the United States
mint in this city some months ago,
were returned III the district court
today and his trial will proceed
forthwith. When the case was
brought before Commissioner Bell
some time ago, Cochran waived
preliminary examination and was
hound over in $7,50o bail to the
district court, AWAITING the action Of
the grand jury. The aged embez
zler has retained James NJ. Beck to
defend him, and the latter will base
his case on a plea of insanity, and
ii is generally thought that the
court aud jary will be int fenced
by this argument, as the peculiar
methods employed by Cochran,
and his fanciful arrangement of tun-
nels and secret stairways in his
home could hardly have originated
ia sound mind The vault from
which the bullion was taken, while
securely covered with steel and
masonry on the outside, was snbdi-
vided in a very himsy way, and
some of the interior compartments
which were deliberately sealed with
red ribbon and wax could easily be
entered without disturbing the seal.
The compartment raided by Coch
ran was enclosed with galvanized
iron railing which did not reach
within six inches of the floor, while
the top was covered with light
pine boards. 1t was by fishing
bars out underr cath the railing
with a wire hoop, and by removing
boards from the top that the theft
was accomplished Over hundred
thousand dollars of the stolen
property was found hidden in a
ventilator shaft not fifty feet from
its original resting place. 1t is
thought that if Cochran were not of
unsound mind he would have taken
more pains to cover up his tracks
instead of busying himself in the
construction of tunnels and secret
panels, which smlrk more of
French novel than of the methods
of nineteenth century embezz en-
