LAWYERS STORY
Benjamin Upholds Tale
That Accused Told On
Witness Stand.
Ry United Press Leased 1ytr.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2S.-Rav
BENJAMIN, San Francisco attorney,
testified today in behalf Of formyr
District Attorney asa Keyes. on
trial here with two others in con-
>piracy to bribe charges,
Ben iamin told the court he once
aided in negotiations whereby his
client, Z. II. Rosenberg, now a co.
defendant with KeyeS, was to have
testified for the state in return for
immunity in the Julian Petroleum
Corporation case. This plan failed
TO matorializo.
Benjamin 5 recital was in support
Of the contention Of Kcyos that he
sought Rosenberg as a witness to
make certain of the conviction Of
other Julian defendants. The state
contends Rosenberg bought Keyes'
favor with Sl25.oo0, paid through
Ben Gctzoff, another co-defendant
in the present trial.
The testimony of the San Fran
cisco attorney Led to another of the
heated arguments which have fill
cJ the trial.
The prosecution charged the testi-
monv was irrelevant and was Civ
en- To Influence the jury and the re-
maiu3cr Of the morning session was
spent in argument over the matter.
Keyes Changed Mind
The defense considered Benja-
min : testimony important since it
tended to show that Keyes. in ask
ing Rosenberg : dismissal during
tie trial. acted on a pre-arranged
plan and not from any corrupt
motives.
In my first conversation with
Kevcs I told him that Rosenberg
and three others I represented had
testimony which would make a per-
feet state case Benjamin said.
'Keves told me he would consider
the suggestion.
y few days later Keyes said he
wanted all four but later he chang
ed lis mind for some unknown rea-
son. -
With the exception of two wit
ncsseS. who will be called later the
individual case Of Keyes was closed
shortly before noon.
The first witness in the defense
Of T. II. Rosenberg was brother.
Jack Rosenberg. who recently was
dismissed as a co-defendant in the
case.
Young Rosenberg denied any
KNOWLEDGE Of any conspiracy but
admitted lc purchased the 5000
