ACHIEVEMENT OF ARTIST BENJAMIN WEST

The exhibit comprises twenty-eight se- lections. paintings and drawings, accord ing to Albert Rosenthal, secretary of the committee in charge, presents a full view of Vests power and versatility.
 From painting portraits in Philadel- phia for mere subsistence. to become the painter to the king of England, standing with Reynolds and Lawrence in his profession, one of the founders of the Royal Academy and it's second pres ident succeeding Reynolds. seems a bit of romance rather than a statement ef fact" Mr. Rosenthal said. But such are the facts
 West was born in the Quaker commit nity of Springfield, now Swarthmore, Pa., October 10, 1738.
 He began his career as an artist at seven, with pencil drawing of his sis ter's baby, inspired when he saw the in- fant smile in it's sleep. At eighteen he set up in Philadelphia as a portrait painter moving on two years later to New York and again, two years later, to Italy, where he worked for three years.
 Next he invaded London, with se- ries of historic and religious paintings appearing as one Of the leaders Of the revolt against the current imitation of classic art. King George III quickly be- came interested in West and took him under his special patronage. appointing him in 1772 historic painter to the king. He was one of four artists who are sented to King George the plan fore d royal academy; was one of it's founders and, at the death of Sir Joshua Key nolds became it's second president.
 When he died, in March 1920, he was even sepulture in St. PauFs as an aca-
 to7,o po.ary historian, was borne by a no- J!emen, ambassadors and academicians, and sixty coaches brought up the splen- did procession
 The onward sweep of art soon rele- gated his works to the background rank ing them as formal, tame and wanting that wanting that freedom of nature and that life which genius alone can breathe on the canvas"
 | But the recently developed interest in | early American art increased the atten- | ton given his work and American artists and collectors at least. are coming more and more to the conviction that contem- porary judgment which ranked him with { the old masters was justified l His better known historical and relig- i ious paintings include The Death of 1 Wolfe Christ Healing the Sick, Peter 1 Rejecting His Master and Death on the Pale Horse.
 The Art Alliance exhibition will con
 tinue until January 2.

WITNESSES TELL OF FUNERAL OF MAN CHARGED WITH DE-
 FRAUDING FIRM.

Aspermount, Texas. March 23-Wit- nesses today rehearsed the death and burial of Byrd Jackson Cochrain of the "empty grave" case on trial here Cochrain is charged with defrauding an insurance company of Dallas out of 5000 He was reported to have died and been buried in March, 1919, soon after which his wife, now dead, col lected his insurance.
 When it was learned a year later that Cochrain was alive, the Stonewall County Grand Jury ordered the body exhumed When the grave was open ed, it was found to contain an empty box. Last October Cochrain was ar rested.
 Interest in the trial centered on the testimony of two witnesses, who quot ed conversations with COchrain pre- vious to the funeral regarding Coch- rains trouble in New Mexico, where, while arresting cattle rustlers, two men were shot. One of the witnesses said that Cochrain told him he was afraid to return to New Mexico for trial and that he alleged maltreatmen while in the Socorro county jail.
 Another witness said that he saw the coffin at the Cochrain home before the burial and that Mrs Cochrain had ask ed that it be not opened at the grave. He said that Hoggett, eodefendant, refused to let him see the body in the coffin.' The witness, Ed McMahon, said that he saw the coffin lowered into the

grave and that when there was some doubt about Cochrain's death in the collection of insurance, he asked that the body be exhumed, but that Mrs. COchrain was unwilling.
 Hoggett, another witness, said he agreed to dig up the body If the insu- rance could not be otherwise collected, but that Mrs. COchrain objected stren- uously and she would rather not have the insurance if the grave had to be opened
 On opening the grave last October, R. J. King, county judge of Stonewall county, said that the box, but no coffin, was found. The lid of the box was not screwed down, he said Other wit nesses told how screws were put in the coffin box.
 A neighb0r of COchrain said that af- ter the funeral he went to the Coch- rain home to deliver some papers and found man there whom he believed to be COchrain. He spoke to him, he said, and the man replied and walked into an adjoining room.-Gazette.
