Description
Portrait photograph of Dave Getzoff in a courtroom at the time that he was indicted on the charge of conspiracy to give bribes in connection with attempts to dismiss charges against defendents in the Julian Petroleum Corporation stock overissue cases. Charges against him were ulitmately dropped due to insufficient evidence to connect him to the plot. Dave worked in the tailor shop on Spring Street, owned by his father, Ben Getzoff, where much of the bribery activity directed at district attorney Asa Keyes took place. Reported in "KEYES CASE HARD FOUGHT: Every Angla of Bribery Plot Trial in Which Three Were Convicted Bitterly Contested," Los Angeles Times, 28 Feb. 1930: 2.
Text from negative sleeve: Getzoff, Ben & Dave. Bribery case.
