20-Year Term
NEWPORT. Ore. I - Richard

a maximum of 20 years for trying
to kill his business partner.
The sentence was ' imposed
Thursday by Circuit Judge Fred
McHcnry, who could have made it
a life sentence, ine judge sam nc
passed by the life term because
of Thomson's past record and his
character references.
But he said he felt he could give
no less than 20 years for the crime.
The state said Thomson slugged
his business partner, James Men
ler, 31, over the head with a piece
of pipe, then sent Meuler over a
bluff in an automobile last Septem
ber. The automobile dropped onto
rocks at the ocean edge, but Meu
ler was thrown free before that,
and lived.
Thomson was after $20,000 on

the submerged locomotive. The

on the train, was found there.
Still missing is the body of the
fireman, Earl F. Sutton, 53, Wish

Gasoline Blaze
LEBANON Four big tanks
containing 72,000 gallons of raw
gasoline and fuel oils at the As
sociated Oil company plant on
Hansard avenue were threatened
Thursday morning when sparks
from a pump ignited gasoline
being loaded into tank trucks.
Lebanon firemen stopped the
roaring gas-fed flames before any
tank exploded. One was less than
10 feet from the conflagration.
The fire quickly engulfed the
valve control building' on the
loading dock and spread rapid
ly to three gas pumps stored
nearby, badly damaging them.
Three employees at the plant,
Bruce Parton, Neil Olson and
George Wagner, had driven the
gas trucks from the scene and
cleared the area before firemen
arrived.
Appeal Filed for

HOOD RIVER W Donald
Dwaine Imlah, 19, will not get his
wish to die in the state gas cham
ber at the state prison in Salem
next Tuesday.
Over his objections, his attorneys
Thursday filed an appeal of his
murder conviction. That delays the
execution, and the State Supreme
Court is not expected to act on the
appeal lor some time.
Imlah, who confessed the slay
ing of farmer Bruce Houck near
here last July, and then told the
court he would do it again if given
the chance, said he did not want
to have to sit around waiting for
his execution. He said he wanted
to get it over with quick.
He told interviewers at the prison
Wednesday also that he would ra
ther die than have his sentence
commuted to life imprisonment.
But one day before the deadline
for appeal, attorney John N. Mohr
filed the appeal in Circuit Court
here.
