Los Angeles. Jan. l5.-(AP)-Jacob
Berman's testimony that he paid
$4,000 to keep out Of San Quentin
prison upon being brought to trial
here on fraud charge involving mil
lions Of dollars, and that the 60
between to whom he gave the money
told him "Asa Keyes got It ALL" stood
unshaken today after Keyes. against
whom he was testifying, had submit
ted to him q grllling cross examina-
ton.
Keyes. former district attorney OF
Los Angeles, Is accused along with
five others Of conspiracy and bribery
In handling criminal cases growing
out Of tho crash Of the Julian Petrol
cum corporation here two years ago.
Berman was indicted as one OF the
bribe givers but the indictment was
dismissed when he turned states evi-
dence. In the fraud trial Berman was
acquitted.
The high light Of the trial thus far
was reached yesterday when Berman,
who was said to have taken 5000 900
out Of Los Angeles In 81 900 bills as
the result Of the collapse Of the Julian
company, painted q picture Of thieves
falling out Is the reason why he
turned states evidence.
Berman. apparently more composed
than his interrogator. said he be
lieved Keyes was getting the bribe
money, because Ben Getzoff (the a.
legged intermediary said he would put
me behind . screen and let me see
Keyes get the money"
"But you didn't trust Ben Getzoff,
did you?" asked Keyes.
mo. I didn't trust him." replied
Berman, but I took his word for It
when he said he would put me behind
the screen. I always believed that
Keyes got some Of the money. I also
believed that 0etxoff was holiing out
some; but 7 didn't believe he dared
hold It al out"
Berman admitted that he never saw
the former district attorney take any
money. It was Indicated that the
keyes' defense would hinge upon IN
effort to prove that the money Ber-
man said he gave 0etzoff was to re-
lmburse friends Of Berman who In
vested In the Julian company.

FOCH Continues TO
fight FOR LIFE AS
CONDITION IS GRAVE
Marshal's Great Spirit Alone
Has Carried Him Past Sew.
eral Crises, Say Doctors

Paris. Jan. 1S.-(R)-Marshal Ferdi-
nand Foch today continued his cour-
ageous fight for life with his condi-
ton apparently . little easier. Dur
ing the night there was no change In
the n-year-old soldiers condition
and this morning it was stated that
he was no worse and II anything .
little better.
While medical opinion now did not
regard the case Is hopeless it was
acknowledged that 1t was one Of great
gravity. Judgment Is to the outcome
was reserved because Of the age Of
the marshal.
There were intermittent sinking
spells yesterds when the illness ap-
peared at times about to conquer the
aged warrior. Six doctors attended
him and at one stage his two daugh-
tiers were called to his bedside with
their mother and It was feared that
tn. end was near.
Spirit Conquers F1esh
The doctors said that the marshal's
great spirit alone had carried him
past the crisis. They were none too
optimistic and explained that he was
enjoying what probably would be
only . Temporary truce. The possi-
bllity of another attack was regarded
With the gravest forbodings.
! When It wAs generally learned how
III Foch was It appeared that the
whole weNl6S attention WxS focused
on the siclfoom Or the marshal in
his mansion In the aristocratic Fau-
bourg st. 0ermain. Le Petit Psristen
said today that there were several
telephone calls from New York asking
shout the latest news. His headquar-
ters were deluged with kilograms
and cables from all parts Of the world
expressing sympathy.
There was an endless stream Of au-
tomobiles bringing distinguished
members Of the official and diplo-
matte worlds to his home.
Cold Aft IT. Heart
The marshal caught . cold on
Armistice day which settled on his
bronchial tubes, ctusing Z hacking
cough and affecting the action Of the
heart. Despite this condition he con-
tinued to work In his office in the In
yalides buildin: until Saturday when
severe pains In his side forced him to
remain home.
When he called Cor . cigar after his
morning coffee, yesterday the rtroke
came as he stood In his study, about
TO strike . match. In the evening he
was able to take some light consomme
and spoke few words with his wife
md daughters.
Then his nurse ordered the marshal
not to talk and he submitted meekly
10 her discipline.
