Up to 5 Years
Given in Forgery
Of Money Orders

terday at District Court to
serve a prison term Of from 20
months to 5 years for forgery
and other charges involving
money orders.

passing them and causing them
to be transported in interstate
commerce.
Sentence was imposed by
Judge Alexander Holtzoff. At
toEney Sidney A. Cohen, who
represented Coppedge, said he
will appeal the conviction.
More than a year ago, Cop
pedge was convicted on the
same charges by a jury which
also found him guilty of house
breaking and theft. The earlier
conviction, however, was set
aside by the United States
Court of Appeals on grounds
that several jurors had read
newspaper articles about the
case during the trial.
At the new trial, the jury
acquitted Coppedge of the
houSebreaking and theft
charges.
Judge Holtzoff ordered the
newly imposed sentence to run
consecutively to the sentence
