DOUBLE CHARGE
FILED AGAINST
DESERT RAT
nv United Press Leased Wire

FRESNO, May 1s-Charged with
attempted murder and the malicious
use of explosives. Charles A. Kochn,
s. wear old "dcscrt rat, - will be
arraigncd 5lfore To;;cc Judge
Crichton today and a date set for
his preliminary hearing.
Kochn was arrested early vcster-
day when patrolmon found a length
of fuse and a stick of dynamite in
his parked automobile.
\ few hours later Superior Judge
Campbell +. Beaumont, opening the
front door of his residence, almost
stumbled over Il deadly internal
machine. The fuse had been extn-
guishcd when its heat melted a
small patch of tar on the porch
floor. Only for this fortunate cir
cumstancC. experts said, the bomb
would have exploded with probable
disastrous effects.
Police recalled that Kochn when
taken into custody had been run
ming from an alley near the Beau
mont home. He was confronted by
the judge, who identified him as de-
fendant in a civil suit tried in Kern
county short time ago. Authori-
ties believed koehn was actuatcd
in his alleged planting of the bomb
by a desire for vengeance for a
fancied wrong.
Koehn, a grizzled old prospector,
and miner from the Mojavc desert,
denied the felony charges against
him which, upon conviction, would
mean life imprisonment. He ex-
plains the presence of the fuse and
dynamite in his automobile by say
ing he recently had been operating
clay mine where explosives were
needed. The lights on his ear had
been going off. he told police, and
claims at the time of his arrest he
