THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 14. 1928 t s C TIO RES in Sims m Case Against Oil Lease Dealer Rushed Toward Its Conclusion WASHINGTON, Apr. 13. (AP) Climaxing Its headlong rush to set its conspiracy case against Harry F. Sinclair before the Jury, the government rested today after the defense had prevented for the time at least the Introduction f testimony which the prosecu tion considers highly Important Two questions were taken under consideration by Justice Jennings Bailey for decision on Monday. These dealt with 125.000 in Liber ty bonds which Sinclair 'gave Al bert B. Fall when he made a trip te Russia, and the Elk Hills lease Fall gave E. L. Doheny. The court aid he was inclined to exclude this evidence but withheld a ruling e both issues until the resump tlon of the trial on Monday. Owen J. Roberts special govern ment counsel contended that the liberty bond transaction a 1 though it took place after the date set In the indictment as the termination of the alleged con spiracy showed the "color" and the secrecy of the relations be tween Fall and Sinclair. Martin W. Littleton, for the defense main tained that such testimony was not germane because the acts which it eevered took place "long after" the period covered in the indictment. The bribery indictment against , Edward L. oheny, Jr., growing out of his delivery in a "little black satchel" of 1100,000 from his fa ther to Fall, then secretary of the Interior, was nolle prossed at Rob erts request by Justice Bailey. This was for the purpose, Roberts said outside the court of bringing! lae younger Doheny to Washing- tan Monday to testify for the gov eminent. He intended, he said, to use Doheny to show that Fall read y accepted money to which he was not entitled from persons in terested In oil leases. Defense counsel objected to the ringing up of the Elk Hills lease la any way on the ground that it was Irrelevant to the conspiracy caarge against Sinclair. The court raling on this question will deter sine whether Doheny will take the stand.

William R. Lee of Tacoma and Thomas A. Scott of Spokane favor ed the adoption of a simple unit rule, leaving to the delegation the determination of its attitude to ward the nominee. That this would have amounted practically to the same thing as the adoption of the successful resolution was the state ment of political observers who decladed that all the delegates elected to the Houston convention with two possible exceptions favor Smith's nomination. The state convention, outwardly harmonious throughout the great er part of Its sessions, ran into rough waters with the report of the platform committee. Two amendments were offered from the convention floor which rave rise to considedable oratory and one roll call.
