Two plead innocent of 'Cooper' hoax

Two Kitsap County men charged with carrying out a $30,000 "D. B. Cooper" hoax pleaded innocent yesterday in federal court here. They are scheduled for trial No- vember 27.

William J. Lewis, 33, Sea- beck, and Donald S. Murphy, 49, Bremerton, were charged with a plot in which Murphy impersonated Cooper, the only parachuting airline hi- jacker not yet caught.

They are accused of ob- taining $30,000 from Karl Fleming, a former News- week-magazine editor, after Murphy, posing as Cooper, submitted to a filmed and tape-recorded interview.

A man using the name D. B. Cooper hijacked an airlin- er last Thanksgiving Eve and parachuted from the plane with $200,000 ransom.
