ACCUSED OF BRIBE TAKING

f UNITED MESS LEASED WIKE.1
San Francisco, Jan. 3. Kenneth
Macintosh, former district attorney
of King county, Washington, said to
day that ho Is in California to inves
tignto charges made against Frank
H. Holzholmer, former first assistant
district attorney at Seattle. The
charges are In connection with the
case against Ralph Leavitt, a wealthy
automobile dealer, who was wanted
in Seattle on a charge of manslaugh
ter, for having run down and killed
a street sweeper.
Leavitt jumped a bond of $1500
and went to Los Angeles. Holz
helmer, accompanied by C. B. Pey
ton, a special agent, went to Los An
geles to endeavor to extradite Lea
vitt. They returned without their
prisoner. It Is charged that they
made only a half-hearted fight.
It is said that Peyton made a con
fession, In which he said he received
a sum of money for his attitude dur
ing the action in Los Angeles. On
account of tho" high standing of
Holzholmer, tho matter lias been tak
en up In tho most careful way, and It
is to be sifted to the bottom, accord
ing to Mnclntosh. ,
Macintosh has been spending the
holidays with relatives at San Jose,
but now is on his way to Los Ange
les to investigate the matter.
Walter S. Fulton, another former
district attorney from Seattle, is also
here. While ho is highly interested
in tho Holzheimer case, he said he
was not here in connection with it,
but was going to Southern Califor
nia on account of his wife's health.
When seen at tho Palace hotel and
asked about the case, Fulton said:
"Tho Holzheimer scandal is a se
vere blow to tho friends of the man,
and to the members of the bar. The
charges are of such a nature that,
even if true, it is doubtful if tho man
can bo made to suffer criminally.
Tho offense, if any was committed,
was committed in California. While
Holzheimer was not an officer
California, he cannot be prosecuted
for accepting a bribe here. Ab the
bribe, if any was given, was paid In
Los Angeles, Holzheimer cannot be
prosecuted in Washington.

Waltliam Watches
A Warning
Mail order houses in Chicago and (
other cities who list Waltham Watches
do so in spite of the fact that neither
the Wnltlmm Watch Company nor its
customers will sell them our watches
at all. Mail order houses cannot be
equipped to sell good watches. If yon
want a watch, go to a retail jeweler;
he knows how to regulate it, how to
correct any little damage that may have
come to it after leaving the factory,
and he will get it started right. lA!
watch requires a personal service that
no mail order house can give. It needs
the jeweler, who knows his trade, to ,
