FALL DEPOSITION NOW COMPLETED W-&sls'~9rior 0 * - Galiforsia Journey El Paso, Tex. April 2 (A —With his deposition for use at the coming trial of Harry F. Sinclair completed, Albert B. Fall rested at here today in the hope he soon will be able to go to Californiz in an ef- fort to improve his health. Members of his family said Wi not o pect to start the trip before t row at the rarliest oes To Sleep Shortly atter the conclusion of the position proceedings in his home vesterday, Fall, exhausted, went to sleep. The former sccretary of the interior was still elated over the op- portunity he had been given to tell his-story of the leasing of Teapot Dome to his co-defendant, clair. Mrs, Fall said her husband plain 1y showed the strain he had been under.

He de- clared that J. W. Zevely, now dead, arranged the details of the transac- tion and that Sinclair and himself did not! enter in the deal until the day the leasc was signed, April 7. 1923. Even then, Fall said, Sinclair accgpted the lease only after con- siderable argument, when he (Fall) insisted on larger royalties for the government. The $233,000 paid by the wealthy oil man, Fall insisted, for one-third interest in his Tres Ritos ranch fn New Mexico. The former secretary of the interior also con- tended that the ranch deal was not started until after the oil lease was signed. Not Fair in Treatment Fall closed his cross-examing witp the declaration that the oil “‘committee not fair in its treatment of the investigation and “was not intended to be fair.” Although appearing to be weak "al) seemed to enjoy the cross-exam- ination. Once when Dr. Safford ap- proached him, he exclaimed: r——————= _Housewives keep FLY-TOX handy. 1t kills roaches, moths, bugs.—Advt. his home questioning to the hington pub- A not received McLea were re- W WHAT DYE, MFAR 2 WHO HAS MONEY O Our quality tfuel is good for | what ail3 your home tempera- | ture and if you's ing up vour poor fucl—then right and send your next orde been burn by ush th money st Answer & the Burni, Qmém:' "WE ARE HEADQUARITLRS FOR ‘ Shell Fish Such as OYSTERS — CLAMS — LOBSTERS SHRIMP — CRAB MEAT NEW BRITAI t away doctor, and let me alone, I am having more fun than in years.” After the examination, Fall told the Associated Press he had not dis- cussed the oil lease before because felt it would be unfair to his po- litical party. “1 am happy now that I have told the truth about the oil leases,” he continued. ‘My story has not been as complets as I would have liked it to e and did not cover some points that 1 thought the public should be | told in fairness to me. “1 have felt that it family, regardless of may think, to tell my story and 1| fcel that it will put an entirely new t on the oil leases when it is in court, 1 tesl certain m |so far as the public has been ad- vised. !

Strained relations have been creat- between police and federal dry agents by the shooting by the dry agents of a court bailiff during a place the federal told them to go on about their husiness. As an indirect reflection from the political situation a’sharp difference of views has been revealed between eertain branches of the federal government in Chicago.
