"CORPSE" IN FAKE BURIAL
is SENT TO PENITENTIARY
Texas Rancher Denied Attempt to
Rob Several Insurance
Companies.
By the Associated Press. -

By the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, March 10
Byrd c. Cochran, once wealthy
rancher and now said to be penniless,
Is on his way to the Texas peniten-
tiary to serve a two-year sentence for
swindling. in connection with the As
permont empty grave" case.
Cochrain's fake burial was discov-
cred a year and a half after it was
supposed he was in his grave. He
still maintains his innocence of any
attempt to swindle the life insurance
companies. insisting this was an
afterthought of his accomplices.
Cochran maintained that the OBJ
ject of his fake interment was to
avoid being taken back to New Mexico
to face a murder charge, which. he
says, was trumped up. He said he
feared he would be slain by his enc
mics If he went to New Mexico, and
If he did not go his friends would for
felt $4,000 bail.
Although the mechanics of the
burial" were never fully explained,
at the time of the trial, a year ago,
1t was charged that Cochran was
drugged before he was laid OUT and
a weight was substituted for the body
just before the burial. At the request
of the wife the coffin was not opened
at the grave, and the hoax was not
discovered until the death of his wife,
when the grave was opened and the
fraud detected.

CaImar Residence Has Bad Fire

The home of Tom Winger, in the
northwest part of Calmar was visited
by bad fire Wednesday afternoon,
and for while it was doubtful
whether the flames could be checked
before the structure was entirely de-
stroyed. The fire had gained consic-
cradle headway before it was discov-
cred by neighbors, and the alarm
turned in. Occupants OF the hous.
were not aware of the fact that the
house was on fire until informed by
neighbors. When the fire depart
nnent arrived the south roof was all
ab'aze and one room in the upper
floor all Attire. Two lines of hose
were strung Immediately and after
a short while it became apparent
that the fire could be got under con-
troll. The roof of the main wing
is practically destroyed, and one
room gut.ed out by the flames. The
entire building was more or less
damaged from the water which was
necessary to check the flames. A
large portion of the household FUN
iture was removed from the house
before water was thrown on fire.
