SINCLAIR US
fM ASKED LEASE
Idea Did Not Originate with
Department of Interior,
Contention
WASHINGTON, April 17.
AP). Forcefully pressing their
eeatentlon that the leasing of
Teapot Dome originated in the
vary and not in the interior de
partment, counsel 'for Harry F.
Sinclair, secured testimony In his
conspiracy trial today to show
that the unit leasing plan was de
cided upon by Tormer Secretary
Deky, of the nary department.
Captain J. K. Robinson, retired,
testified that he had communicat
ed this decision to Albert B. Fall,
after a recommendation to that
effect by him had been Approved
by Denby. At that time a rear ad
miral. Robinson said he had con
sidered such a policy essentia to
a maximum realization of the nav
al il reserve as a valuable factor
in national defense.
The basis of Sinclair's defense,
as outlined by Daniel Thew
A V right in the opening statement
to the Jury, was that Denby rath
er titan Fall instituted the policy
poa which the Sinclair leaee was
founded. The government, on the
other hand, charged that Fall was
primarily responsible and that he
dealt corruptly with. Sinclair in
the Teapot Dome negotiations.
The only other witness of the day.
H. Foster Bain, testified concern
ing- his role in the Teapot Dome
dealings, when he was director of
the bureau of mines. This dealt
primarily with . recommendations
for leasing made by him to Fall,
because of the danger of drainage
from the naval oil reserve into the
adjacent Salt Creek field. Such
evidence from defense geologists
bad been excluded previously, but
J oat Ice Jennings Bailey today al
lowed so much to go in as was dis
tasted between Bain and Fall.
Bain also testified that the for
mer interior secretary had men-
tieeed oil companies other than
Sinclair's as possible lessees of
Teapot Dome.
Among these were the Gulf Oil
company and the Pure Oil com
pany, he said, that the former
waa ineligible as a bidder on ac
cess t of the Interest held in it by
Secretary Mellon and that Fall
had advanced similar arguments
against Inviting the second con
cern to bid because it was con
trolled "by the Dawes family."
Considered by the defense as a
key witness, Robinson often vol
n steered remarks in connection
with his answers that brought
strenuous objection from the pros
nation. He was remnided by the
roart several times not to trans
gress the rules, especially with re
gard to his willingness to detail
discissions concerning Teapot
Dome that he had with Denby. The
former cabinet member himself is
expected to take the stand tomor
row, after the cross examination
of Robinson is completed. He will
be preceded, however, by A. E.
Watts, a Sinclair organization of

WASHINGTON, April 17.

the senate yesterday as Senator
Caraway, democrat, Arkansas,
proposed an inquiry of the financ

Senator King, democrat, of

equally vigorous assault upon
those who would influence con
gress in behalf of special legisla
tion and both senators charged
certain organization leaders with
sending ou "lies."
The Arkansas senator was par

union which was seeking to mis
lead the senate in regard to his
pending bill for regulation of cot

taining "lies" about flood control.
Senator King mentioned a Mr. No
ble of Chicago whom he charged
with circulating "lies" about the
position of senators on a bill for
development of agriculture exten
sion work.
The resolution of Senator Car
away, who was author of the bill
recently passed by the senate re
quiring lobbyists to register at the
capitol, went over until today un
