Abel who has been retained to de-
fend William Gohl. the alleged Aber-

Iaas or barrow had been retained
in the case. The truth of the report,
however. is generally credited here, the
belief being that negotiations with the
attorneys are being carried on in San
Francisco.
Abel announced today that he would
ask change of venue for GohI from
this county but otherwise would not
outline the plan of his clients de-

One OF the incidents of the day was
the receipt of an anonymous letter
signed Jack by the Daily World,
threatening to blow the newspaper
