WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Zevely, Harry Sin- clair’s personal attorney, told the Teapot Dome com- mittee today that Mr, Sin- clair had loaned $25,000 in Liberty Bonds to Albert B. Pall tn June 1923, three months after Fall resigned from the cabinet. The bonds were sent to El Paso for Fall, the witness sald, after Sin clair had invited Fall to go to Rus- sla with him to advise him on some business mattora there, Fall could not leave at the time Sinclair sailed, he sald, because he had some personal affairs to attend to and also felt ob'iged to go to Washington to ascertain whether the adnitnistration officiala would approve his visit to Russia, “Before Mr, Sinclair sailed," Zev oly said, “© told him the secretary would need $25,000, He called in his secretary, Mr, Wahlberg, and told him to let me have §25,000 or $30,000 tn bonds, Mr, Wahlberg sent them to a bank in Hl Paso which Mr, Fall designated,” Zovely said Fall gave him a note for the amount after his return from Ruasla; that he has the note, but that he has not given any evidence of the debt to Sinclair except to promise he would pay the loan, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon- tana, recalled that Fall had told the committee that $10,000 was all he got for the Russian trip, That was his expense money,” the witness sald, “The other was in addition," In his testimony before the com- mittee last Monday Wahlberg de- claved that that in October or No- vember 1922, by direction of Sinclair he placed subject to the order of Zevely 3,500 shares of Sinclair con- folidated and 000 worth of Mb- erty bonds, Wahlberg further tes titled that the stock at least sub sequently had been sold, but that he did not know what became of the bonds, He added that the tra) saction seemed to him “suspicious.
