Pair Charged In Hoax Out on Bail
Two men, charged with conspiracy to defraud in connection with the selling of what was represented as "D. B. Cooper's" personal account of his $200,000 sky- jacking in November, were released on bail yesterday. Bail for William John Lewis, 32, Seabeck, Kitsap County, was set by the U.S. magistrate at $50,000; for Donald Sylvester Murphy, 49, Bremerton, $8,000.
They are accused of re- ceiving $30,000 cash from Karl Payne Fleming, Los Angeles, for what Fleming said he was told was a per- sonal interview with Coop- er on a Puget Sound beach in King County.
A man identified only as "D. B. Cooper" is believed to have parachuted over Clark County from a North- west Airlines plane Nov. 24. With him he had $200,000 that the airline had given him on his de- mand before the plane left Seattle.
The complaint against Lewis and Murphy says that the latter impersonat- ed Cooper in the interview with Fleming and that Lewis arranged for the in- terview.
In the interview, the complaint says, Fleming represented a Los Angeles publishing firm, from which he said he got the $30,000.
Although Cooper is being sought for questioning in connection with the sky- jacking, there is no warrant for his arrest and he has not been indicted, unless secretly.
