COURT (Continued From Page One) “But you subpoenaed him," an- swered Mr. Roberts. “No, we didn’t,” retorted Mr. Littleton. “But you notified me that you would subpoena him," said Mr. Roberts. “That's true, but he was not sub- poenaed,” said Mr. Littleton. “And there {fs no reference {n this case to the testimony Denby - gave befere the senate committee,” inter- posed Mr. Hoover. “You had better take. that back," Littleton warned Roberts, erring to Mr. Roberta’ statement that Denby had testified before the senate committee. “I don't think I will," retorted the government attorney. “We object,” said Mr. Littleton to Judge T. Bake Kennedy. “Gentlemen,” said Judge Kennedy. “The case thus far has been marked by such trangullity that It seems only reasonable that we should he able to continue it so." “Well,” said Littleton, “there will be fighting but there will. be no hitting below the belt.” Mr, Roberts then finished his argu-| ment between questions of Judge c \y to the ,overnment of the relation of the Con- tinental Trading company in the Teapot case and as to the xovern- ment’s interpretation of the act of congress of June 4, 1920, under which leasing of the reserves was made possible. Mr. Roberts declared he believed that the trading company was or- ganized independently of the Teapot Dome deal but that it served as an intermediate between Fall and Sin- clair in his secondary functions. He also declared that it was the govern: ment’s contention that the act of June 4, 1920, was merely an enabling act and that it was to be operated subject to all other existing laws at that time, The defense, said Mr. Roberts, contended that the act of 1920 a law unto itself, and that it made the secretary of the navy a “constitutional monarch,” allowing him “to legislate as he pleases”. After a short discussion between attorneys it was agreed that the government should be given 15 days in which to present the brief of its case and that the defendant then would be given another 15 days in which to answer. Judge Kennedy will consider these briefs before de- ciding who is entitled to the posses- sion of the big Wyoming naval oil reserve. There was a general exchange of felicitations among all attornteys when court adjourned, and as at the close of Mr. Littleton’s speech yes- terday, Mr. Littleton and Mr. Rob- Use “GETS-IT” CORN Remover This Cera Remedy Is Guaranteed You will never know how really easy it isto get rid of a corn or callous, until you have used Gets Le Just put it on, Hurting stops.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 26.— Counsel for the defense in the .Ten- pot Dome lease annulment sult do- clined to put Harry F. Sinclair “on the witness stand to be shot at” by government counsel “for the purpose of dragging from him” some state- ment that might be used against him in his trial under a conspiracy indictment pending in’ the. District of Columbla, according to George F. Hoover; “no lawyer fit to defend any one or to practice in any court” would have’ permitted: Sinclairsto- go on the etand in the Teapot trial and testify while facing trial on'the Dis: trict of Coluinbla indictment, accord: ing to Martin W. Littleton. These explanations of Sinclair's silence in the annulment sult were made by defenso counsel Wednesday after- noon during thelr arguments sum: ming up for the defense. “With the conclusion. of I.ttleton’s argument | the defense completed {ts case ex: cept as concerns the filing of {ts brief. Thursday morning Owen D. Roberts made the closing argument for the government. The argument of Littleton, chief counsel for the defense, was among the most brilliant ever made in the Ww: ming courts, For an hour and a half the famous New Yorker con- ducted a vigorous, eloquent and dra- | matic assanit on the government's bill, the government's evidence and the government's motives and ethics. “Nothing so hopelessly and ap- pallingly inadequate has ever been offered in a court of justice,” he sald in final summarization of the goy- ernment case, “I defy these gentlemen (the gov- ernment counsel) to show one shred of their evidence that connected Sin- clair with these bonds,” he said, referring to the government's allega- Uon that a large sum in liberty bonds was transferred from Sinelair to Fall pursuant to fraud alleged to have been connected with the lease agreement. A considerable portion of Little: ton’s argument was devoted to an attack upon the argument Tuesday of Owen D. Roberts, government counsel. Roberts, he said, had. ex- amined the Teapot lease © with “agility and fertility and speed, and I do him no discredit when I that if any human being could find anything defective in this lease, he could find it. Roberts had stated, said Littleton, that he did not pro- pose to examine the lease micro- scopically, “but no man working in his laboratory ever searched with more microscopic minuteness than did he." The whole case of the government in its effort to procure annulment of the lease went back ‘in final analy: said Littleton, to Option A, the provision for the exchange, of crude oll from Teapot reserve for fuel oll storage and upon the single contention that this Mlegal was asking the court to declare the whole lease void. “Tho government ts: seeking to have a'court of equity teardown a perfectly legal contract because it Is afraid it (the government), will do ‘an illegal thing if it calls. for execution of one of the. several options, and that an option favor: able to the government,” he argued. Ridiculing the contention of gov+ ernment counsel that the’ exchange of crude ofl for fuel ofl storage was Megal, "he sald: “Oll development without oll stor- 2 , Kills Colds ~ Quick!

Ho, referred to the government’s action in not vsing depositions taken of testimony by, Admiral J.'K. Robison, chief of naval engineering, and’A. W. Am: brose and H. Foster Bain,. both of the Bureau of Mines, whose testi: mony had been/ that the. Sinclair lease, was;a contract advantageous to the government. Commenting, on the government's contention that the Teapot lease was shrouded with secrecy, Littleton ironically commented: ‘Could the facts. of the leawe have been made more public than by Fall's letter to Senator LaFollette?"’ ’ He refefred to a communication from the then sec tary of the intérlor to the Wisconsin senator which related to the Teapot lease and which had been dispatched before there had been formal public announcement that the lease had been made.

But it will be con- Continental Trading company .bonds which later were in the possession of Fall had utterly failed, Littleton argued, asserting that the court, if it were to be influenced by the gov- ernment's evidence, would have to “asume, not presume,” a connection between Fall and the Continental, and then “infer” from that “assump- ton” that the bonds received by Fall were at a time subsequent to their purchase. by the “Continental company in the possession of Sin- clair, and to “infer” further that these bonds had had a nefarious connection with the leasing of the Teapot reserve. Littleton lauded Rear Admiral Robison for patriotic service to his country in planning the drilling of Teapot Dome and the exchange of crude oil from the reserve for fuel oll and fuel ofl storage. “I could never and I never will be able to understand,” he said, “why government counsel pilioried the admiral for two days on the witness stand—an officer of the fighting forces who was attempting to serve hfs country and who had the courage to demand a full measure for the navy tn order ‘that it might be properly fortified.” Preceding Littleton, George P. Hoover Wednesday afternoon com- pleted the argument which he began when court. conyened for the day's session. He stigmatized the govern- ment’s evidence in. its attempt to connect Sinclair with the Con- tinental Trading” company as “meager and filmsy testimony”. After further discussion of the fraud feature of the government's case, in reply to the argument by government counsel that the defense had been “silent as the tomb con- cerning, the bonds alleged. to have passed from. Sinclair to Fall, he sald: “There is no evidence In this case which requires any _ explanation fram\ Sinclair or the Mammoth, com- pany concerning these bonds.” By indicting Sinclair in the Dis- trict of Columbia, ‘he sald, the goy- efriment had..sealed. his lips inythe Teapot Dome, trial, j -“We,-as cotinsel. for Mr. Sinclair, didn’t propose to. putshim on’ the witness stand|to be, shot, at by -goy- ernment counsel for the, purpose of drag&ing from, him, some statement that>might be used there,” he said. “When the Washington cane Ia tried Mr.* Sinclair will be there‘and’ will make his defense,” Callingeattention to the fact that the only evidence by, which’ the gov- ernment had endeayored to dis- credit the evidence of Admira!

The truth in this*case does not fit the struc- ture of the government's conten. tons.” Trial of the lease annulment case required thirteen and one half court days.

Everyone who had a hang dog look was taken in for investiga- tion under the Enright order. This Is believed to be the first time that so general a round-up has ever been attempted, At the Christmas shopping» season for several years, notice has been , served’ on pic pockets and thieves that if they ventured into the shopping district they would be promptly picked up. But that is as far as former cam- paigns haye gone. Seventy-four is the total of cru- sade arrests on Manhattan Island, so far, Harry Blake, a Connecticut safeblower of several convictions, was the only criminal of record found, Of thirty-one suspects arrest: ed in Brooklyn, 17 were found to have records for such crimes as burglary. The round-up order, it is believed, was the direct result of the numer. ous attacks thugs have made recent- ly upon women at the very doors of their homes, stripping them of their Jewels and sometimes injuring them severely, and of the epidemic of safe- cracking which has broken out re- cently.
