SINCLAIR SENTENCE LONE U, . VICTORY Conspiracy Charge Against Fall Is Only Oil Case Left for Trial. By the Associated Press. The conviction of Harry F. Sinclair for contempt is the only one that has heen obtained in the many cases which the Senate certified to the District of Columbia Courts as a result of dis- closures in the celebrated oil investiga- tions, In all, eight cases were remanded, and all have been disposed of except the criminal conspiracy -charge against Algert B. Fall, former Interior Secre- 1 nd it is regarded as doubtful iy & one ever will come to trial, besmuse of the failing health of the aged defendant. Sinclair was acquitted of the criminal conspiracy charge brought against him as a result of the Teapot Dome naval ofl reserve lease, but subsequently was sentenced to six months in jail for con- tempt of court as a result of the em- ployment of Burns detectives to in-| vestigate members of the jury which was to have tried him. His appeal from that sentence now is pending. Edward L. Doheny, together with Fall, | was found not guilty by a jury which | heard charges of conspiracy against | him growing out of the lease of the Elk Hills, California, Naval Oil Reserve, to him by the then Interior Secretary. In that case was involved a payment | of $100,000 to Fall at about the time the lease was made. Doheny said it was a loan. ‘The charge now pending against Fall | grows out of the Teapot Dome lease | and rests upon the contention of the | Government, set up at the Sinclair | trial, that Fall received a total of $250,- | 000 from the wealthy oil operator. | Sinclair's defense was that the money | was paid for a part interest in the ‘Three Rivers, N. Mex., ranch proper- ties of the former cabinet officer. ‘The other two cases were presented to the courts by the Senate against Rob- ert W. Stewart, recently deposed as chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. Stewart was ac- quitted on both charges, one involving contempt of the Senate and the other alleging perjury before the oil com- mittee. | The Indiana oil man appeared three | years after the first phase of the inquiry | closed and at a time when the commit- | tee was delving into the affairs of the | Continental Trading Co., Ltd., of Can- ada, which made profits of more than $7.000,000 in dealing in American oil and most of which in the form of Lib- | erty bonds went to Sinclair, Stewart and Harry M. Blackmer and James E. O'Neil. Blackmer and O'Neil, both American oil men, went to Europe at the time the oil inquiry was at its height. | Government agents failed to locate O'Neil to serve a sumons on him as a material witness in the Sinclair trial, but they did serve Blackmer and upon his refusal to return to this country he was adjudged in contempt under a new- Iv enacted statute and fined $100,000. This case also is on appeal.
