crv with Asa Kcves former disJrlc-

Ter said:
This is an extraordinary case. l
believe the defendant is penitent
and has seen the evils of his ways
and regrets the connection he made
with those for whom he was only a
go-betWeen.
In presenting Getzoff s petition
for probation, Attorney Mark Jones
pointed out to the court that the
tailor led a reputable life until the
bribery, that since his conviction he
made n complete confession which
could be interpreted as distinct
act of public service and that the
health of the defendant was not
sufficient to withstand prison life.
Move Not Opposed
Getzoff, who has been in sani.
;arium since his conviction, shook
with his illness throughout the pro-
ceedings. He did not take off the
heavy overcoat he wore into the
court room.
The district attorneys office
neither recommended nor opposed
probation.
Judge Butler asked if it was true
that G"tzoff had made a full con-
fession which was of benefit to the
people.
THAT is true,' Deputy District
Attorney Robert Stewart said.
" Getzoff has done everything pos
sible to aid this office.''
Judge Butler then sentenced Get
zoff to spend one to II years in San
Quentin bat Immediately suspended
execution of the sentence.
The iurist provided that Getzoft
must follow provisions of probation
