I of five years in each case, were im
posed by Federal Judge William B.

Virgil T. Bolin, charged by indict
ment witlj havng fraudulently ob
tained more than $60,000 thru use
of the mails in promotion of an oil
scheme changed an original plea of
not guilty to one of guilty and was ;

him with mail fraud in connection j
with a scheme to sell royalties on
oil lands in west Texas. The indict- |
ment charged that at the time
mails were used to perpetate the !
scheme he had no royalties to
sell.
The letters were alleged to have
promised to assign purchasers of
royalties to a definite parcel of a j
tract on the Wardlfiw ranch.
