Perjury, Bribery and Con-
Spiracy to Defraud Hard to
Prove : Democrats at
Least Have Issue
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal)
(Copyright, 1924

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Crimi-
nal prosecutions are threatened in
the Teapot Dome scandal, but will
they get anywhere? That's the
question the lawyers are doubtful
about, no matter how highly Skilled
is the counsel employed by Presi-
dent Coolidge to try the cases.
An analysis of the record will
show that the contradictory state
ments did not constitute perjury, as
some of the important statements
were not sworn to when made. Nor
is it clear yet that any charge of
bribery would hold, for nothing has
been brought out to show a connec-
ton between the money that was
passed and the subsequent making
Of contracts. All the financial trans
tons will be defnded on the ground
that they were 'loans," and, strict
(y speaking, a loan is not a bride
for there is always the promise to
repay.

The only basis for discussion is
whether or not there was a conspir-
acy to defraud the United States

The oil men insist that when the
