e DEATH IS PROTESTED Mass Meeting in Seattle Takes Resolution to Com mute Sentence. Seattle. Wallace C. (Bob) Gaines may or may not be guilty of the murder of his daughter Sylvia, but he should not hang, decreed a riotous mass meeting of 200 persons in the Seattle Armory. . , ' . , . A resolution to this effect was taken by a crowd which - gathered after the Roosevelt Post of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars had disband ed a meeting called by its command er, Capt. Charles Brown. The meet ing was unauthorized by the organ ization, members of the post said. Members of the James M. Eagleson Post likewise- refused to assume re sponsibility for the gathering, which decided to ask Governor Hartley to commute the death sentence, over the violent protest of Clark R. Belknap, of the American Legion. Belknap tried repeatedly to present his argu ment against commuting sentence but was persistently interrupted by Wil liam A. Gaines, the slayer's brother, and by Capt. Brown and others in the crowd. : " Fine Livestock For Walla 'Walla Fair Have your tubes Vulcanized at Athena Service Station C. B. MOORE, Prop. Walla Walla.
