It was placed in “a satchel” and taken to Washing- ton and delivered to Fall, who wrote out . demand note for the sum." No Interest Stated. “To show you how young Doheny regarded the transaction, when Sec- | retary Fall handed him the note" continued Hogan, “he examined it and said, ‘Mr. Secreta: not fixed an interest rate.’ replied, ‘Ed, your father did state the Intercst rate, and T do not want to dictate that.

It would be shown, Hogan said, that the transaction had no re- latlon to the ofl contract and leases | and “that Albert B. Fall did not ex- ecute the leases, dil not suggest them and did not recommend them.” The defense attorney said the pro- | ject to store oll at Pearl Harbor, Hawai, in the Navy department on Dec. 1921, after naval officers had report- | pany wells werc producing 3,000 10 | Lucyan stree od Japan was riobilizing vessels for n attack on the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines.

When this situation was revealed, Hogan said, President }hrrflng asked the interior department to ‘h\mhgzl« what should be done. Hogan said the executive order transterring the reserves to the in- terior department were found legal and after it was issued a strip of land in the Elk Hills fleld was leased to the Pan-American com- pany which was “the highest and T bidder.” The Midland company had a prior right in the field,” Hogan said, adding that Fall got Doheny to give up some of the land won in open competitive bidding so that the Mid- land company could get part of it Fall to eclear up the claim. | Defense counsel told of the ap- | pointment of Captain J.

During part of the day I was in- | terested in watching Mr. Pfeiffer. Timothy Pfeiffer can be compared | | to the stage manager of a big pr | auction, The leading man, the | leading lady, the music and the lines all attract attention and publicity, but the #nan responsible for their success is usually dismissed | with & few lines if any attention ls paid to him at all. Mr. Pfeiffer, it seems, is really the man who is operating the defense | for Mrs. Hall and her brothers. He is never heard in court, but he's al- ways there—whispering. Whenever Senator Case or Mr. McCarter come to an impaese, they hurry over to Mr. Pfeiffer and he whispers some- | thing into their ears that seems to act like a bracing tonic. If the de- fense is at all successful in this trial, it will be mainly because of Mr. Pfeiffer's brain and ingenuity. It was he who conducted Mrs. Hall's affairs during the first inves- tigation—well, enough, it is said, so that it resulted in nothing more than empty talk and temporary oblivion. Just why he appears to be occup: ing the background this time, I don't know, but I'm not misled by his ap- parent inactivity. I respect the cali- bre of his legal brain too much and if any surpriscs are sprung by the defense it will be mainly becau they were devised or unearthed by Mr. Pf | I think he is one of the brainfest men in the court room with the ex- ception of Senator Simpson, who overshiadows them all.
