Are Charged With Crim

CHARGES TO BE PUSHED
Indictments Declared to be More
Comprehensive Than Previous I
' Case Quashed by Supreme
Court -
WASHINGTON, May 27 (By
The Associated Press) Determin
ed that the oil scandal case shall
go before a criminal court,: the
government today obtained t new
indictments : jainst Albert B.1 Fall,
El L. Dolcty and Harry F.; Sin-
cfeir.""- .- i-u
The Indictments charge conspir
acy in ,.:nection with the leasing
of the Teapot Dome and Elk Hill
naval reserves,, and in this ;respect
arc more comprenensive ; i man
those quashed recently in District
of Columbia supreme court. :
A charge of bribery,' which the
original indictment attached to
Fall,! E. L. Doheny and E. L. Do
heny. Jr.. was omitted and E. L.
Doheny, Jr., was not reindicted.
Atlee Pomerene of government
counsel said the indictments were
asked for as a precautionary mea
sure and that the government
would fight through the supreme
Court to have the original charges
go to trial. For this reason, he
said, re-indictment on the bribery
accusation was not sought, j There
also' has been a question as to
whether the statute of limitations
has expired on the bribery eharge.
The new - Indictment covering
the oil leases charges that the con
spiracy Included the sale of oil to
the government without competl
, tire 'bidding, the purchase of stor
age ; of facilities, buying of kero
sene, lubricantlng . oil and petro
leum and the adoption of a credit
sale method of purchase by which
no cash passed to the United Stat-
eS." ' i ; . i J
-' In the Doheny indictment the
alleged payment of $100,000 to
Fall is covered, - while in the
charges against Sinclair is the al
leged passage of $230,500 in Li
berty bonds front Sinclair to Fall.
This count was not in the original
Indictment. ?
An effort was .made by the
government's - special oil counsel
in the Cheyenne, Wyo., civil pro
ceedings for annulment of the
Teapot Dome lease to bring out
an alleged passage of bonds from
Sinclair to Fall, with the now de
funct continental trading com
pany, Ltd.. of Canada as Inter
mediary. The Indictment returned
today against Sinclair ; and Fall,
however, did not attempt ? to spe-:
cify how the alleged $230,500
transaction took place.
Other new charges specify exe
cutions of the lease 'i of April 7,
1922, to Teapot Dome and the exe
cution of a construction contract
ed February 8. 1923.
The original : indictments were
quashed because of the presence
of a department of Justice agent
In the grand Jury rooms. The court
held that Inasmuch ss the case
could be turned over to special
government counsel by act of con
gress, the department should not
have been represented in ' the
room. '
Virtually the same witnesses
who i testified before previous
grand Jury in the oil 'cases were
called by the jury returning the
indictments.
Frank J. Ho'gan, counsel for Do
heny Issued a statement declaring
the "striking thing about the In
dictment was the absence of the
name of E. iL Doheny Jr. I
"By the failure .to re-Indict
young Doheny," : he said, "the
prosecution: admits the otter lack
of any Justification, for the origi
nal Indictment against, him."

protest of the Sons of Veterans.
"I deeply regret," the governor
said, "that the . tournament was
