At Cleveland Archie's last doubt as
to his mentors connection with the
underworld of which he talked so en-
tertainingly was removed.
Reaching the city at midnight the
car was left at a garage downtown,
their trunks expressed to Chicago,
and they arrived by devious course
at an ill-smelling boarding house.
Here, the Governor informed him, only
the aristocracy of the preying profes
sions were received.

our meeting. and he should bear It'd

The man, who was dressed like a
farm laborer. responded carelessly to
the Governors greeting, and swung
himself to a seat beside him on the
abutment.
What news of the lamb in the pas

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12.-Seven
men will be indicted by tn Los An
gls county grand jury Friday if in
vstigation corroborates the story Of
widespread corruption in the district
attorneys Office under Asa Reyes, 1t
was announced today by the con-
victed prosecutors successor, Buron
Fits.
Fits planned to question further
Ben Getzoff, Keyes' asserted go-be-
tween, concerning his voluntary re-
velation that the one-time dis
trict attorney and three of his ram
ing assistants shared in fixing fees"
totaling more than 100000.
The tailor painted Keyes' public
Office as the "rottenest regime" in
the history of the west and CHARGE
that it affected not only Reyes, but
his deputies.
Getzoff also implicated two big
politicians and prominent lawyer, -
Fits said.
Keyes seemed undisturbed by the
statement.
"Getzoff can't hurt me- Reyes
said in his county jail cell. 81 don't
know of any way he can name me.
I feel just like I did the first day
in court-that means I'm fighting
all the way"
Getzoff was said to have told Fits
that it cost $151,000 to FIX" the
felony case in which A. l. Lasker
was freed, only to be reindicted
and convicted. He now sawaits
sentence in the case and also must
go on trial with Keyes March Is
on bribery charges
The state charged in the recent
bribery trial that Keyes received
$165,000 to free defendants in
Julian oil prosecutions. Of this
S125,000 aSSertedly was obtained
from a bribery co-defendant, Ed
Rosenberg.
