(By the AP.) Hitting the high

trial began, attorneys in the Tea

wound up the case in such a tan

time to get a fresh start.
The principal developments were
these: The question of admitting

Fall, former secretary of the- in

to i Harry F. Sinclair's Mammoth
Oil company; to show an exchange
of liberty bonds between Sinclair
and Fall was taken under advise

objected to the testimony of E. J.
Conway, cashier of the federal

on the ground that it was "double

did not actually make the records
to which he was testifying. :The
objection took government counsel
