Inventor
and Revolutionary Victor Ochoa: Ochoa Fakes His Own Death |
||
Ochoa, who is now the president
of the International Airship Company, of Paterson, N. J.
, was believed to have died in an asylum in Newark, in
1895, following his release from Kings county
prison, in Brooklyn, in which he had spent a two and half
year sentence for having violated the United States
neutrality laws in attempting to smuggle arms across the
Rio Grande to his army, then operating in Chihuahua. He says he gave out the news himself that he had died because the Mexican government had a standing offer of fifty thousand dollars for him as long as Porfirio Diaz was in the presidential chair. |
