Fall and Edward L. Doheny. The two defendants, free to come and go at will, sat down to Thanksglv- ing dinners with their families in their suites at fashionable hotels. The 12 men sitting in judgment of the case, virtually “prisoners of hope,” marched in double file from their courthouse “cell” to eat their turkey dinner under guard at a downtown hotel. Twelve vacant seats at the Thanksgiving tables of as many homes in Washing- ton, were poignant reminders of the fate that had served to upset their holiday plans. For jury and defendants altke, there was one real occasion to be thankful for today, at any rate. Court was in recess until tomorrow. At the Carlton Hotel on fashionable Sixteenth street, Mr. Doheny presided at a family Thanksgiving dinner. There were with him his wife, who has been in constant attendance at the trial; his gon and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Doheny, jr., and thelr daughter, Miss Lucille Doheny. Before and after dinner, Mr. Doheny was free to occupy his time as he willed. In another quarter of town, the b WASHINGTO OIL CASE DEFENDANTS ARE FREE, JURY GUARDED, OVER HOLIDAY Fall and Doheny Enjoy Dinner in Luxu- rious Ease With Families—Twelve Bus Ride. other defendant in the case, a former cabinet officer and United States Sen- ator, was free to make the most of the Thanksgiving day respite from the trial. With his wife and daughter, | Secretary Fall spent the day quietly in his suite at the Wardman Park Hotel. The Thanksgiving celebrations of the two defendants were interrupt- ed only by occasional necessary con- ferences with counsel. The ‘“locked-up” jury, however, awoke this morning to face just an- other day, with slight variations. They walted turns patiently at the single wushstand, and, after being carefully inspected by their two at- tendants, were marched, two by two, to the St. James Hotel, several blocks away, for a breakfast. After their morning meal they were again placed under lock and key. No messages or Thanksglving tidingss were received by them from wives and children. Then again, shortly before 12:30 o'clock, their keepers turned the key and the 12 jurors repeated the marcn to the St. James. There at least, they found something different in the way of a real Thanksgiving dinner, with all the trimmings. This is what they ate, under guard in a private room: Relish, blue points, celery, olives and sweet mixed pickles, cream of tomato soup or consom roast (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.)

By the Associated Preas Once more the Navy has been thwarted just short of success in the | effort to drive its long-distance sea- planes farther than man has ever gone in such craft without stop- { ping. | As in the case of the late Comdr. |John Rodgers' record-breaking flight {last year with a PN-9 machine, its latest attempt with two PN-10 planes also fell short, happily, of disaster. With Colon, Canal Zone, 2,060 miles away, as thelr objective, the PN-10 Nos. 1 and 2, manned by brilllant crews, left Norfolk, Va., late Tuesday. Plane No. 2, in charge of Lieut. Comdr. H. T. Bartlett, the flight commander, was forced down by fuel exhaustioon 1,185 miles away at Nueva Gerona, Islg of Pines. No. 1, developing lubrication trouble, proceeded 213 2 broken oil feed pipe compelled it {to come down in the Caribbean. Flight to Be Finished. Comdr. Bartlett, after replenish- ing his gasoline supply, will finish the flight. Whether the other ma- hine, in charge of Lieuts. Byron J. ‘'onnell and Lawrence W. Curtin, will proceed to Colon remains to be de- termined. Both planes fell short of Comdr. Rodgers’' record of 1,841 miles, es- tablished when fuel exhaustion {blocked his attempt in September, , to reach Hawall, and started a perate search that lasted for days | over a wide expanse of silent waters | before he was found. A similar situation threatened to de- velop in the Caribbean last night, when the PN-10 1 had been miss- ing 14 hours and a half, but as mid- night approached the Navy’s anxiety was relleved by a report from the feruiser Cincinuati that she picked up the plane 22 miles off its course at 5 and was standing by. She was ordered to tow the plane to the most convenient port. 24 Vessels in Search. Twenty-four naval vessels in Cen- tral Amerfcan waters meanwhile had been placed at the disposal of Capt. | T. L. Johnson of the Cincinnati to con- duct a seargh for the missing plane when the passage of time without word had erased the Navy Depart- ment’s last hope that it would reach Colon. Such of these vessels as had started_to join the search will re- sume their duties and the guardian ships stationed along the course between the Isle of Pines and Colon will resume thelr stations for the hop to be made by the PN-10 No. 2 when it receives the fuel being taken to it by the cruiser Raleigh. Comdr. Bartlett’s mishap apparently lacked the thriils that befell the other plane, for after landing at Nueva Gerona he was able to obtain enough fuel to proceed to Siguana Bay to await the Raleigh. Although pre- vented from establishing the distance record he sought, he will be able to make a technical report of the flight, its other objective, which is expected to prove of great value. Storm Reports Add to Fear. While search for Lieut. Connell's | plane was proceeding, and it appeared { likely that it might have to be con- tinued today, anxlety here was height- ened somewhat by reports from the Weather Bureau that a storm was likely to blow up in the Caribbean, with moderate to fresh northeast | | Little fear was entertained for the | safety of the crew, however. for all were experienced men, and Cornell himself had gained training seem- | ingly designed to fit him for prectsely such an experience by serving as a pilot on Comdr.

Justice Adolph A. Hoehling's court was {n recess today after having| heard yesterday afternoon two ver- sions of the famous $100,000 loan to Fall. The first was given by Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin, who testifled Fall told him and Senator ! Smoot that Edward B. McLean,| wealthy publisher, had advanced him | the sum with which he bought a! ranch in Three Rivers, New Mexic The second story of the loan was gi en by Mr. McLean himself who, under | former Senator ! Pomerene of Ohio, testified that Fall| had asked him to assume the Tole of | the friend who had actually loaned' the money. This request was made, | Mr. McLean expiained, because Fall! sald his political enemies in New Me: fco were “bedeviling” him. { Final Loan Details Sought. | Tomorrow the Government, led by | appointed by President Coolidge, will endeavor to bring out the last cha of the famous loan story—that which | shows the loan actually having been | made by Doheny.

Defense counsel objected and Justice Hoehling, because of the lateness of the hour, decided to hear arguments on its admissability tomorrow morn- ing. If+it is accepted by the court, the reading of the pertinent parts will require about an hour and then Mr. Roberts will call for the demand note which Fall gave to Doheny and | which the latter tore in two parts, re- taining one piece and giying the other to Mre.

He stated that while it was purely private transaction, he was willing to give the committee all thd facts concerning it, except that he was | not willing to disclose the name of the | party from whom he procured the money."” “I stated to Mr. Fall,” the witness continued after relating Fall's reasons for wanting to purchase the ranch, “that T felt that he owed it to the committea, he owed it to the country and he owed it to himself to come before the committee and disclose | fully all the facts, including the name of the party from whom he had se- cured the money.

I told him that I did not want the name in confldence, but I wanted him to tell the committee, but before I had fairly completed the statement he said the name was Edward B. Mc- Lean. And he said that he would wire Mr. McLean and see whether he would consent to a disclosure of his name.” Then Mr. McLean took the chalir. After the reading of a letter by Sena- tor Pomerene to the publisher from Fall reciting a proposal to breed thor- oughbred horses on a tract of land adjoining the Fall ranch fn New Mexico, the witness related the former Secretary's request for a loan of $100,- 000.
