CLEAR KOHLER
IN WISCONSIN
CUSTER TRIAL
Jurors Find Governor Is Not
Guilty in Corrupt Prac-
tees Case.

BIZ United Prcss
SHEBOYGAN, Wis, May 16.-
The triumph Of Vindication was
Governor Walter j. Kohler's today
in consequence of a jury's verdict
finding him not guilty of alleged vio-
lations of the Wisconsin corrupt
practices act.
His trial, in which his removal
from Office was sought on charges
of excessive campaign expenditures
in the 1928 primary election, was
brought to an end Thursday night
when he was acquitted. The jury's
deliberations lasted only an hour
and a half and the verdict was
unanimous on one ballot.
Ask for New Trial
The states special prosecutors
met the defeat by turning today
TO the task of preparing a motion
for a new trial of the custer suit,
Judgment on which will be made
final by Judge Gustav Gehrz within
the next several days, when ne de-
cides whether the jury's verdict is
TO be upheld or overruled.
An appeal is to be taken to the
state supreme court, it was an
nounced, in event the verdict is sus-
tanned.
The historic trial, the first attempt
of it's kind in the United States 10
remove a Governor from Office other
than by impeachment, was started
nearly a month ago. 1t was oaseo
on a complaint brought by La Fol-
lette progressive Republicans.
Testimony Limited
When it opened its case, the state
endeavored to show that almost
$1,000 had been spent on Kohlers
campaign.
Court rulings later compelled the
prosecution to confine its evidence
to only those expenditures it might
prove were made directly by the
Governor or his authorized agents
MY expenditures were well within
the $4,000 limit prescribed by law,
said the Governor.

WOOD DECLARES
CAR DESIRABLE
IN BOXING GAME

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 5. U.P)-
There is considerable gambling in
connection with boxing bouts in
California, but not more SO than
at other sporting events, James
Woods, member of the state ath-
letic commission declared when he
appeared before the governors
committee which is investigating
boxing conditions in this state.
Woods also admitted that there
had been friction on the commits
sion, particularly between William
Hanlon of Sacramento and Charles
Traung of San Francisco.
The only logical cure for the de
plorable condition" into which box
ing has fallen, is to appoint chief
boxing inspector with powers of a
czar to oversee the fight game.
Woods declared He recommended
particularly for the post George
Blake, Lieut.. Jack Kennedy or
Lieut.. Duke Kenworthy, referees on
the Pacific coast.
The committee continued its in
vestigation into boxing conditions
