Fully 50 or more newspaper men,| lined up in rows three or four deep | behind the counsel and defendants, occupled most of the space generally reserved for spectators. Two rows Of tables were reserved for the counsel. The attorneys for the Government, which {s the prosecution | in this case, occupied the row of seats directly in front of the judge's bench. | Back of them sat counsel for the de-| fense. About 15 minutes before the trial Fall and Doheny, acompanied by their staff of attorneys, entered the court- room. The two central figures in the five-vear legal battle growing out of the famous Senate oil investigation appeared perfectly at ease. They strolled about the room chat- ting with a group of friends here and i there and talking occasionally with | their counsel. Fall Is at Ease. Mr. Fall, dressed in the same biu serge suit in which he appeared at the ng about 10 days ago, neeml:}d e e particularly serene and at ease. went over and shook hands with a to | number of the newspaper men whom he had known during his senatorial and cabinet days. Among the spectators and witnesses who have been called by the Govern- ment sat Mrs. Doheny, sr., and Mrs. Edward L. Doheny, jr., wife of the oil man’s son. These two interested wom- ‘] en, who may or may not take the wit- stand during the course of the wife of the chief defense counsel. Doheny took his seat at the defend- ants’ table shortly before 10 o'clock with his son at his side. Meanwhile Fall circulated freely about the room. Promptly at 10 o'clock, as Justice attempt to make another radio speech of this character during the present case, Hogan asked Allen if he would be among those who would listen in on it. Religion No Influence. Before Allen could answer, Justice Hoehling overruled the question, add- ing that he would give proper in- structions to the jury later. Continuing his questioning, Hogan brought out that the political and re- ligious afliliations of the defendants would have no influence on any opin- {ion that Allen might form. In reply to questioning by Wilton J. Lambert, Allen said he had served in 1924 on one grand jury, but this was his first case in a_criminal court. Henry Byers of 1718 Newton street, {a driver for the American Express | Co., then was called upon as tales- | man No. 2 Gordon. The talesman in answer to questions declared he knew of no rea- | son why he should not sit as a juror {1n the case and that he knew no one | connected with it. | In answer to Mr. Hogan's ques- | tions, Byers asserted he never had { read anything about the case from | its inception until the present day, |and that no books dealing with the subject had been invited to his at- tention. As to Senator Walsh's radio talk two years ago, Byers declared, he {didn’t hear it, “because I haven't a radio.” Neither politics nor religion would Influence his decision if called upon as a juror, he told Mr. Hogan. Denies Knowing Policemen. Mr. Lambert Inquired closely for the talesman’s acquaintanceship in the local police force, particularly those in the tenth precinct, where Byers lives, and the talesman denied having even a speaking acquaintance with the officers. When asked to state the city from which he came to Washing- ton, Byers replied, “Alexandria,” and this was followed by a ripple of i ; laughter, which, however, was quickly A.'A.

Without further preliminaries the clerk called the first 12 men of the panel, who entered the jury box to answer to their names. Counsel Is Announced. District Attorney Peyton Gordon, is formed the jury the case about to be tried_was that of the United States 's. Fall and Doheny, charged with conspiracy to defraud the Govern- ment in connection with naval re- erves. For the information of the jury and court he announced the counsel as follows: For the Government, Atles Pome- rene, Owen J. Roberts and Peyton Gordon For Doheny, Frank J. Hogan of Washington, Frederick R. Kellogg of New York, Joseph I. Cotter of Wash- ington and Harold Walker. (The last three constilute the legal staff of the Pan-American Petroleum Co.) For Fall, Henry A.,Wise, a former United_ States district attorney of New York; Wilton J. Lambert of “ashington, Levi Cooke of Washing- ton, and Mark B. Thompson of New Mexico. With this announcement completed, the selection of the 12 men, which promises to be a long and tedious Proceeding, was begun. The fir to respo d to his nama was Paul Al- urant proprietor, who gave as 99 Rhode Island av nue northeast. In response to ques. “~ | tlons from District Attorney Gordon, he sald he had been a resident of Washington for 40 vears. He said he is not acquainted with counsel for either side, or the defendants, nor had he formed any opinion of the case, though he said he had occasionally read about it. Not Called on Phone, The prospective juryman was | turned over to Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel for Doheny, who put him through a stiff examination. Mr. Mogan asked if he had read any | Fall had entered a plea of not guflty Allen replied that | about 10 days ago. he had read some, but that they had not influenced his opinion. Mr. Hogan then referred to recent newspaper reports concerning my: terious telephone calls to the famill of prospective jurymen. “Are vou one of the jurymen whose wife was annoyed?” he asked. Allen replied that he was not, since his wife had been {ll in bed and could not have answered the call. “Have you read a hook called ‘Revelry’ that appeared abodt 10 davs ago?” asked THogan. Allen replied that he had not, but had heard about it, “Would you pa ny attention to a book or article that would besmirch the character of the late President Harding ked Hogan. Mr. Allen said he would not. Hogan then referred to the radio Walsh of Montana, chief prosecutor of the Senata eil investigation, at a time when the ofl litigation was be- Ing pressed ifors $%e courts, a Lwo years ago. ~houid Semaks [] alsh assisting the Government | {counsel in the prosecution, briefly in- of the prospective jurors ! Carey, colored, 403 Forty-first street northeast a. bricklaying foreman for the Wardman Construction Co., was asked to the stand by Maj. Gordon. He declared he had no knowledge of the case today, elthough he recalled hav- {ing seen accounts of the Senate in- | vestigation in the newspaper. Mr. Hogan Inquired if the fact that the Government is represented on one side and two individuals on the other would affect his opinton, and the talesman replied it would not, as he would be governed solely by the evidence In the case. Politics or re- liglon likewise would have no effect on him. When Mr. Lambert then asked if he would give the benefit of doubt to the defendants, Maj. Gordon objected, and Justice Hoehling re- iterated his declaration that he would cover that point in his instructions. Fourth Talesman Called. Carey was invited to sit down and George B. Cobb, 2818 Thyrd® street northwest, 28 years old, clerk in the Southern Railway, and occupant of . 4 chair, was questioned by Maj. ordon along the same lines as the other three. Then the talesman told Mr. Hogan that no one had said any- thing to him either personally or through members of his family about the case, and that he knew nothing |regarding a book which started circu- ! lation here about two weeks ago. Mr. Hogan then inquired of Cobb and the other talesmen who had been { examined if the fact that one de- fendant is known as a wealthy man and the other a man in public life would influence them in their de- cisions. ‘When they replied in the negative Mr. Hogan sald: “Then you'd treat them just as though they were John Jones or John Smith?” Willlam C. Kues, 516 Newton place, A retired motorman of the Washing- iton Rallway and Electric Co., and 63 | years old, then was called upon, after 1 Cobb had been permitted to sit down. He told Maj. Gordon he read of the | case during the Senate investigation, tbut had formed no opinion at that [time as to the guilt or innocence of i articles of the case since Doheny and | those concerned. | Didn’t Hear Radio Talk. | In answer to Mr. Hogan's questions I he declared that he did not hear Sen- ator Walsh’s radio talk, because “I | haven't got a radio and don't like them.” He asserted he knew nothing of a book referring to persons in the case and no one asked him to read a | Wealth or public prominence | book. would not enter into the case, he told Mr. Hogan. Mr. Lambert’s question- ing brought out the fact that Mr. Kues had been stationed in Arizona from 1886 to 1887 while in the Army, and this caused a little interest to be | Roberts and | exhibited by Owen, Maj Gordon. However, the talesman was retained, and Robert I (@ clerk in the Riggs National Bank, | was called. | When ) orden asked the usual question regarding the talesman's |speech made by Senator Thomas J.|knowledge of any one connected with the case, Kenney replied he knew Mr. Hogan as a director and counselor of the bank. Mr. Hogan then arose bout and verified his connection with tha ' Riggs National Bank for Juslice for examination by Mal. | Kenney, | STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C Hoehling, and the Court,, in view of this relationship, excused Kenney from the box. Alphonso Parker, 43 years old, of 2869 Twenty-eighth street, proprietor 1of a newsstand business at 1653 Penn- sylvania avelue, was brought to the box. He knew little or nothing about the case or persons connected with it, Ihe said in answer to Maj. Gordon's j auestions. Mr. Hogan, however, de- iveloped the fact that Mr. Parker's former partner in_the business was Sergt. Robert Lee, retired member of the Police Department, who played a prominent part in the Fenning investi- gation, in which Mr. Hogan was at- torney for the former Commissioner. Heard of Book Saturday. Mr. Hogan then inquired i any one had talked to him or his family about the case or if he had heard of the Ibook. “Revelry.” “Saturday night,” replied the tales- man, “somebody told me there was such a book. They said they had just glanced over it and the book shoyld not have been published.” “Did anybody connected with this case talk to you about that book?" asked Mr. Hogan, and the witness re- plied in the negative. “Did you read the article in the newspapers that jurors were sitting up nights reading it?” and when Parker declared he did not Mr. Hogan added, “Then you were not one of them.” Mr. Lambert sought to develop Parker’s connection with Sergt. Lee, and the talesman explained they entered into a partnership in April of last vear, which was terminated about four months ago. Parker sald he had not seen Lee for several months. They were in business to- gether when the Fenning case was being thrashed out, and Parker added he knew that Mr. Hogan was Fen- ning's attorney and furthermore that Lee was a witness in that case, but he explained he had never discussed { the case with Sergt. Lee and that he had formed no obinion of any attorne: connected with it. “You understand, saild Mr. Lambert, in concluding his question: hat ‘lawyers merely act for clients.” Top Row Completed. This completed the top row of the hox, and number seven, Henry J. { Priggs, an architect, employed by Harry A. Kite, told Maj. Gordon that he knew some of the w!tness{‘. prin- cipally those from the Navy Depart- ment. Asked where he learned of the witnesses, Briggs replied, “I saw the list in The Star yesterday.” Talesman No. 7 responded to the name of Henry J. Briggs. He sald he was an architéct, residing at 240 Rhode Island avenue northeast, and from 1921 to 1923 had been employed in that capacity in the Bureau of Yards and Docks at the Navy De- partment. This connecticn led to questioning by Hogan as to his personal rela- tions with Naval officers and officlals who have appeared at various times in the Senate investigations. The talesman said he had only come casually in touch with them in connection with his duties and did not know former Secretary of the Navy Denby or Rear Admiral Lat- eral's office, He also sald he had served under Rear Admiral Gregory and Rear Admiral Griffin, but in re- ply to questions said that he did not know Rear Admiral J. K. Robison. Not Connected With Tank Plans. While associated with the Bureau of Yards and Docks Mr. Briggs sald they had worked on plans for the oil storage tanks for Pearl Harbor, which figured in the Doheny equity suit, but that he had no connection with_these plans. Asked whether he knew Senator Walsh, Briggs sald he had seen a lot of him at the Capitol while he was doing clerical work for the depart- ment seven or eight years ago, when the naval bill was in preparation. He did not know Senator Walsh, how- ever. The next man called was Byron E. Blodgett of 127 Barnum street, an ac- count adjuster and salesman for the Arthur Jordan Plano Co. Blodgett | 1 in 1889 from Wisconsin, had resided in Montgomery County for some ears and since then had lived in the ity. He said he was auditor for the ngram Memorial Church. Asked if he had ever voted, he said: “I voted for Teddy Roosevelt.” He sald that he had been too busy to read much about the case, had never heard of “Revelry” and took no interest in politics one way or the other. There seemed to be no objec- tion to him by attorneys of either side. 1 Heard Walsh’s Speech. Clinton Carver, the ninth talesman called, said he was a steam fitter, 24 years old, and resided at 1365 Emer- son street. For about five years, he sald, he had been a machinist at the navy yard. He sald he had heard Senator Walsh’s radio speech, but had paid little attention to it. It was brought out that Carver was one of those whose families had been questioned on the telephone re- garding his personal affairs. He sald that Friday a week ago some one called his brother, that it was in reference to this case. The questioner wanted to know about Carver's religion, politics, employ- ment and other affairs. Talesman No. 10 was Willlam R. Clarkson, 25 years old, of 1350 Ken- yon street. For the last 16 years for the Southern Railway. he had formed no conclusions about the case, having read little if any- thing about it. Mr. Hogan asked him if he knew any of the Government’s counsel by reputation or otherwise. “No sir, I don’t,” emphasized Mr. Clarkson. This caused laughter. Martin L. Winfield, 23 years old. who said he was a clerk with the Per- petual Bullding Association, was the eleventh called. He told Mr. Hogan he had heard of the book so often refarred to during the proceedings, through a friend, who had told him {Ing's life. Otherwise he knew nothing more about the book and little if any- thing about the case. Twelfth Man Seated. The twelfth man, Joseph P. Locke, electrical en; Washington ed by the court. Mr. Lambert is gen- eral counsel of the Times-Herald. In | the place of Locke the next talesman ! called was Chester M. Parker of 228 Third street northeast, a grocery salesman for Magruder Co.

Gordon then | deliberated for several minutes pre: The result of the conference was that | Mr. Kues was excused. Bertram A.| mpson, 29 years old, of 1275 Otis street northeast, a salesman for Guy, Curran & Co., was called to fill the vacant chair. i Under questioning by Mr. Hogan, | he said he had a sister employed in the Navy Department, but that she had been there only six months and had not discussed Navy ofl contracts . with him. He further admitted that he had read of an inquiry having been made concerning the affairs of mem- bers of the jury panel and that “some- body came to my house and made those inquiries of Mrs. Sampson.” Mr. Lambert inquired if the tales- man was affiliated with any organiza- tlons “or dance clubs with which ! Senator Walsh might be connected.” | Mr. Sampson was allowed to sit down, and talesman No. 10, Mr. Clarkson, was challenged by the defense and ex- cused. Government Challenges Another. Charles V. Samuels, a concert mu- siclan and teacher of 3531 Tenth | street, was next on the list to be called for the tenth chair. He told Mr. Hogan that he read in The Slar’ yesterday that “somebody was trying to get a line on the jury, and that| somebody had been to a neighbor and inquired about my standing and wh I was.” He was temporarily accepted and_the Government challenged Mr. Blodgett, No. 8. Mr. Blodgett was excused and Charles W. Simpson, jr., 31 years old, a real estate salesman for the Ward- man Construction Co., was examined for this vacancy. He said he had a brother in one of the engineering branches of the Navy Department,; but had never talked with him about | oil cases. As both sides concluded ( the® examination, Simpson asked au- thority to approach the bench, but Justice Hoehling sald he would have to make any statement in open court. This the talesman declined to do and Maj. Gordon asked if he saw any reason why he should not serve as a Juror, to which Simpson replied no. The defense then exercised another challenge, excusing Mr. Sampson, who previously had stated inquiries had been made at his house. John F. Smoot, Jjr., 26 yea old, 2121 New York avenue, a clerk in the Western Fruit Express Co., entered the jury box and was examined, only to be challenged by the Government and excused after he had been seated. In his place Hugh P. Smyth, 43 years old, 1762 Park road, real estate operator, was accepted, and the de- fense then challenged chair No. 10, occupied by Mr. Samuels, who a. few | moments before had told of inquiries having been made about him of a neighbor. Bernard S. Snow was called from the panel in the courtroom, and as he took his chair Justice Hoehling re- cessed court until 1:30 o'clock. At! I this point both sides had exercised 3 of their 10 challenges each. Several Indictments Returned. i The indictment under which Fall | and Doheny are being tried is one of |a number returned by a grand jury | as a result of the Senate investigation | two years ago into the leases of Naval | oil lands both in California and Wyo- ming made by Fall to Doheny and Harry 1°. Sinclair. during the first two years of the Harding administra- tion, after the control of the reserves had been transferred from the Navy | to the Interior Department by execu- | tive order. Sinclair and Fall also are charged with consplracy to defraud the Gov- | ernment in connection with the fa- mous Teapot Dome lease, but this case is before the United States Su- preme Court on a request for a review of the action of the District Court of Appeals in dismissing an appeal from | a lower court decision refusing to quash the indictment. Sinclair also is under indictment for contempt of the Senate in refusing to answer certain questions before the public lands committee during the oil investigation, and there is still an- other indictment against Fall and Doheny and Edward I. Doheny, jr., charging bribery in connection with the $100,000 loan which Doheny made | to Fall during the course of the nego- tiations for the Elk Hills lease and which will be gone into at this trial. | SINCLAIR MANDATE STAYED.

The court recently | dismissed, under the Walsh act, the special appeal which it had under onsideration awaiting the action of e United States Supreme Court in a similar case. The staying of the mandate is for the purpose of affording Attorney George P. Hoover and other counsel for Sinclair an opportunity to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of review to test the validity of the} Walsh act, which deprives the ap-| pellate court of jurisdiction to grant special appeals in criminal cases. FALL EXPLAINS SILENCE. Wants Case Decided in Court, Not Newspapers. Taking cognizance of recent news- paper reports, which he said his at- torneys considered “‘unjust” and “in- appropriate,” Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, who went on trial today, said in a statement that he had refrained from answer- ing these articles because he believed ! legal cases should be tried in the courts and not in the newspapers. “I feel very deeply,” he said, “the humiliation of being compelled to ap-| pear before any jury under a charge | such as is pending. Nevertheless, I welcome the opportunity to have a fair and unprejudiced jury hear tthe evidence for the Government and hat which may be offered, if neces- sary, by the defense, and decide the issues in the case. “For many years I practiced law and this legal training, at least In s along the lines of to the effect that cases publicity, should be tried in the courts and not in the newspapers. I realize very fully the power of the press and that anything which I might say might be read by the jurors who are to| try these cases. 1 cannot, however, | find it consistent with the ideas in- stilled into me when I was reading and later practicing law ¢o use any| methods, howsoever legal and proper, | to influence the determination of a | jury aside from the evidence sub- mitted for consideration by the pre- siding judge {n the trial. “I am aware of the fact that with in the last few days articles have ap | peared in some of the papers which | my attorneys have considered un | ust and, to say the least, inappro- priate at the present time as tending, in some decree, to influence adverse- 1y to their client’s interest the ver- dict of the jury. To attempt to oft- set such unfavorable impressions, if any, through an effort to obtain fa- vorable publicity, I cannot think is proper under present conditions.” BRITISH CRAFT DISABLED Mine Sweeper Taken in Tow by U. 8.
