The little tailor shop stands at the corner of East Depot and College streets In the sleepy little town where Johnson, who was born in Raleigh, N. C, emligrated at the age of eigh- teen. Having served his apprentice- ship to a tailor, Johnson opened his first shop in Greeneville. After a year he was married to Miss Eliza McCardell, to whose lot it fell to teach her young husband to write and undertake other educational pre- liminaries, as Johnson knew only his letters when he became head of his own house. having never attended school a day in his life. Johnson's political career began as Texan Faces Jury Under Charge of Having Swindled Insurance Company Out of $10,000. ASPERMONT, Tex., March 23—B.J. Cochrain, fer whose supposed death two years ago his wife, now dead, collected 610,000 insurance. faced a Jury here to charge of swindling. Cochrain was reported to have died March 9, 1919, coffin box, sup- posed to have contained a casket with his body, was burfed. and J "1 812 14th St., 4 Doors North of H St. alderman of Greeneville. He then served as mayor, was elected to the lower house of the legislature, then state senator, afterward to Congress, became Governor of Tennessee, Serv- Ing two terms; United States senator, military governor of Tennessee, was elected as Vice President of the United States and became President upon the death of Lincoln. His final political office was that of United States 8enator from Tennessee. Johnson, while Governor of Tennes- see, once resumed his vocational fm- plements. He had formed a_strong friendship in the Tennessee legisia- ture for W. W. Pepper of Springfield, a stanch whig and once a black- smith. Despite their political creeds the of Johnson and Pepper were ex- tremely cordial. Pepper became judge of the seventh judicial district in 1854 and after a visit to Johnson, then governor, set about making a present to his friend, fashioning a shovel, which he sent with a nete explaining it was intended as a memento of a friendship that was preef against all political differences. Johnson, to show his appreciation of the token, ook up his scissors and needle and made a handsome beaver cloth coat which he pressed and sent to Pepper. It was a splendid piece ot workmanship, probably the last of that kind of work Johnsen ever did, and exists to this day, the property $16,000 life insurance was paid Mrs. | Cochrain. A year later the Stonme- | wall county grand jury, taking cogni- zance of reports that Cochraim had been seen alive, ordered the grave opened. The box was empty. Cochrain_was found living on sheep ranch near Sterling City, with his five children, last October. Ac- cording to officers who arrested him, the man claimed he was drugged and kidnaped by A Mexican at the | time of his supposed death and held | a prisoner in Mexico for seven months.
