Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, late today began his journey to the New Mexico penitentiary at Santa Fe, to start serving a sentence of s year and & day for accepting a bribe. ‘While his wife and daughters, weep- ing, and a group of friends stood near, he was assisted down the rear steps of his big red brick mansion and into an ambulance, which then left for his ranch at Three Rivers, N. Mex. It was believed he would spend the night there and continue to Santa Fe tomorrow. Fall arrived at the ranch late tonight. Dispatches from the ranch said he stood the trip “fairly well.” but was weakened by the journey of 125 miles. Convicted Accepting Bribe. Fall was convicted of accepting a bribe of $100,000 frcm E. L.

Physicians testified that imprisonment in a District of Colum- bia prison, where he was convicted, would endanger his life. He is suffer- ing from chronic tuberculosis. Shortly before 6 p.n. a big, black ambulance rolled down the street before the Fall house and turned into & drive- way at the rear. A dozen photogra- phers and repcrters, who had waited ar | the residence day and night for nearly | a week, stood in silence.

Supported by Friends, The door to & small chamber in' for the past several months since he came to El Paso from his Tres Ritos Ranch was op:ned and Fall appeared, leaning heavily on a cane and suj ported on each side by friends of the family. The porch was soon filled with friends, relatives, all gathered around the former Secrctary, most of them weeping. Fall was dressed in pajamas, which gleamed white beneath & green smok- | ing jacket. On his disheveled white hair was pressed & whits hat. The big black felt he usually wears had been laid aside. The ground reached, Fall was lifted in. almost bodily, and lald on ths bed. Dr. J. Gambrel], his personal physician for years, also entered the ambulance to go with him. Martha Fall, his 16-year-old granddaughter, likewise entered. . Then the big car backed out of the driveway, and preceded by the police- man on his motor cycle, drove rapidly away. Final Arrangemenis Complete. Final arrangements for Falls incarcer- ation in the New Mexico institution to serve a sentence of a year and a day for bribery were completed this after- noon. Dr. Gambr<ll was notified by United States Marshal Joseph Tondre by tele- phore from Santa Fe that the Federal order to commit Fali to the penitenti- ary had been received from Washing- With it was a letter from United Siates Atiorney Leo A. Rover empower- ing Dr. Gambrell to arrange Fall’s transportation to the penitentiary. Marshal Tondre said the commitment papers would be taken to Warden Ed Swope at the prison and that Fall would be admitted any time he arrived. Although the exact physical condi- tion of the former Interior Secretary | | was not divulged today. Dr. Gambrell sald Fall was “greatly upset” by an oc- currence last night when a rock thrown by an El Paso commercial photographer hit Mrs. Chase. The photographer, Joseph M. Hill, re- tained by a picture association, said he tossed a rock into some bushes at the Fall home merely to frighten a Mexican chauffeur who had been watering the flowers and who, the photographer said, had drenched him with water. Deny Shotgun Report. Police were called to the Fall home and Mrs. Chase told them the rock had hit her a glancing blow on the leg. Mrs. Chase denied a police report that Fall was sitting in a chair with a shotgun across his knees when they arrived. She said_there was no shotgun in the house.
