Was There Foul Play?
The friends of John C. Gohrman, the Oak
land politician who so mySterlously dropped
out OF sight on November IA, are not satisfied
that lie has simply left town." They think
now that he has been fOully dealt with because
they have learned that he had at least $1,000
with him when he disappeared.
IL was thought for a time that Gohrman had
gone to Los Angeles with George Mothersole,
0nt The latter has been heard from and says he
knows nothing OF GOhrman's whereabouts and
had not seen him since about election time.
Gorhams lodge friends have now begun an
investigation, and Thursday SOM of them went
TO San Francisco to see the body picked I'D i'm
1 he body was so badly decomposed that it
could not b. identified. Another trip was made
late yesterday with piece OF cloth of the same
goods as the suit worn by GOhrman when last

He owes her S165 for back allmony, and
Mrs Stegeman No. recently had him up be-
fore Judge Henshaw because he did not pay
it, Stegeman yesterday appeared in court and
told a woful tale about his inability To get the
money.
He said that it was no easy thing to support
one family, but when divorced wife falls back
upon one 1t Is simply impossible to support
either. He could not get an advance on his
employers, so he borrowed $50 from his attor-
ney, f. Nj. Morgan, and that was ali he could
pay on account He maze such a good show
ing that Judge Henshaw, instead of sending
him 10 jail, as was threatened, gave MIN an ex-
tension of ten days. during which respite he
must raise the money wanted by his ex-wife.
