UNITED Press Seryice)

LOS ANGELES, April 17.-Mayor
F. T.. Woodman, of Los Angeles, went
on trial before Superior Judge Frank
R. Willis today on acharge of agree
ing to accept a $4,000 bribe from

The charge was brought in grand
jury indictment returned a month
ago as the first big sensation in an
investigation of alleged municipal
graft, started by District Attorney
Thos. Lee Woolwine.
George Brown and George Hender-
son, the two negro politicians, were
indicted at the same time, accused
of offering the bribe.

Captain John D. Fredericks, once Re-
publican candidate for governor of
California and "a noted attorney, is
appearing. District Attorney Wool
wine, who succeeded Fredericks as
public prosecutor, personally repre-
sents the state. Between Fredericks
and Woolwine a bitter fued seems to
have broken which, coupled with the
vigorous charges of "pre-election
frame-up" which Woodlands friends
are making, is expected to be the
groundwork of astormy trial.
In the indictment against Mayor
Woodman the grand jury charges
that George Brown and George Hen
derson, through Horace Karr, news
paper political writer, promised to
pay Mayor Woodman $4,000 in
monthly payments of $500, in re-
turn for protection for vice interests.
The appointment of Sergeant VIM.
Hackett as head of the police purity
squad, is said to have been involved.
Mayor Woodman declares the
charges is entirely plot to ruin him
politically. He now is in the thick
OF campaign for reelection. Karr
is expected to be a leading witness
for the State. He is reported to have
admitted receiving $1,000 to use in
fiuence to secure the appointment of
Hackett as head of the purity squad.
