GOHL'S STRANGE HOPE
Convicted Murderer Looks to Session
Of Grand Jury to Vet Prove
His Innocence

TACOMA, June 14.-Still protesting
his innocence. William Gohl, sentenc.
ed to life Imprisonment for the mur.
der of Charles Harberg, said in an
interview in the county jail today that
his case would be reopened before the
grand jury in Aberdeen soon after the
first of next month and that he ex-
pected this jury to declare him a free
man.
Gohl intimated that J. Klingenberg,
who confessed to numbering Had
berg with Gohl, would tell the truth
before the grand jury and that his
story would not be like that told on
the witness stand. The prisoner is
on his way to Walla Walla to begin
serving sentence. His wife, who has
remained true to him from the time
of his arrest, will go to Walla Walla
as soon as possible to be near her
husband. Gohl expects to complete
a law course during the next year if
he is not discharged before the end
of that time.

DELEGATES Named
REPUBLICAN COUNTY Committee
Meets YESTERDAY.
Twentv-Seven Delegates Are Named
to Attend State Convention at
Tacoma. POindexter Is Ignored in
Resolutions. Congressman from
ChehaliS County Favored.

The Republican County Central
committee met in this city yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of naming
~ delegates to the state convention
which will nominate candidates for
supreme judges, at Tacoma, on Aug
ust 3. The meeting was called to or
der by E. H. Story, of Montesano,
chairman, and six Aberdeen and one
HOquiam vacancy were filled.
A platform was adopted that was
notable for ignoring county matters
utterly-a topic one would consider
gathering. Instead, a set of resolu-
and state affairs that may prove en-
barrassing in the state convention.
Briefly, the resolutions affirms al
legiance to the republican party
without saying which branch-en-
dorses President Taft, Secretary Bal
linger, Governor Hay and all other
custodians of state pie. 1t favored the
opening of the Quiniault reservation;
the elimination of all agricultural
lands from the forest reserves, and
the repeal of the law taking supreme
court judges from the provisions of
the primary law.
The threatened attempt to read all
insurgents out of the party failed to
materialize, the standpatters being
obliged to be content with the en-
dorsement of the state delegation in
congress with the solitary exception
Of PoindeXter. They favored the ele-
vation of Judge Irwin to the supreme
bench, and the election of con-
gressman from Chehalis county.

convention We're named:

There never lived champion who did

where he was deemed master Of them all.
