INDIC lMENT RETURNED
BY FEDERAL GRAND JURY

WASHINGTON, April LII
dictment by federal grand jury
here late Monday Of Harry f. Sin
clair, millionaire oil operator, TO
whom the Government leased the
Teapot Dome oil reserve, on con-
tempt charges resulting from his
refusal to testify before the SeI:ate
oil committee constituted the first
action Of the kind to grow out Of
the Senate's investigation of oil
leases. The action eventually, it is
believed, may lead to ruling by
the United States Supreme Court
or the authority of Congress to
develop evidence along ines follow
led in the present inquiry.
Counsel for Sinclair here stated
that the oil operator was not in
Washir gton but that it was their
belief he would return voluntarily
to face the indictment. Ten counts
were listed in the Indictment whiell
was sigend by District Attorl ey
Gordon and Atlee Pomerene AID
Owen J. Roberts, as special ass!s-
tant, each referring to spefic qua.-
tons asked Sinclair by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, in the
course of the oil committees in
quiry.
The questions which Sinclair de
clined to answer. declaring he woulc
reserve any evidence" he might be
able to furnish for the Courts, wer,
declared by the grand jurors tt
have be- pertinent to the matters
and questions then under inquiry
before the said committee"
The indictment recited at length
the oil rolicy determined upon by
Congress and declared the Senate
oil committee was authorized to in
quire into all phases of the leasing
of naval oil reserves, which, it was
held, was being dore at the time
of Sinclair's refusal to anhwei
questions.

Johnson AT TAGKS
ELECTION MAN Ayers
IN STATEMENT TODAY
Candidate for Tax Collector
losses Saucy Remarks at
Jones and Fort
SAYS LAW WAS VIOLATED
Pertinent Questions Are Direct
ed at Secretary of County Ex-
ecutive Committee

Claude Johnson, who was a can
didate for tax collector i'm the. re-
cent primary here, in paid card
published elsewhere in this issue
a few pertinent questions at II,
0. Jones, one of the election man
ayers in the 9th (Americus) dis
trict, and John Allen Fort, secre-
tary Of the County Democratic Elk
ecutiye Committee.
In this card, Mr.. Johnson says he
has endeavored to have a recount
of the votes cast in the 9th district
ordered, and that this request was
denied; that he was told See Mr.
John Allen Fort. He is the secre.
tary. What he says goes" And he
then charges that Mr.. Fort told
him: "There is no need Of that.
Nh. Snail got lots more votes than
you did"
Other charges contained in Mr..
Johnson's card are to the effect
that H. @. Jones, one Of the cleo
ton managers, announced the vote
in the tax collectors race twice,
and that figures given in the two
announcements were not identical
in their relation to candidates in
volyed.
Also, Mr.. johnson charges that
the law was not complied with in
that the election managers failed
to file with the clerk Of the Su-
perior court tally sheets used while
counting the vote cast in the pri-
mary election. In support of his
contention that this should be
done, he quotes the law covering
the conduct of primary elections,
and openly charges that the man
ayers violated the election laws
when they failed to count the
votes publicly, when they failed to
tally the votes and when they fail
ed to file the ballots and all pa
pers on this election with the clerk
of court within three days after the
election
The card is printed as paid adj
vertisement in the es-Recorder,
and attention is called thereto sole
ly because of the wide interest
likely to be evidenced therein. The
text of the card, which is quite
lengthy and interesting throughout,
appears on page. two of this issue.

CANCELLING LEASE
Presents HARD TASK

WASHINGTON, April 1.-tron1
utterances of friends CT some uf
the parties involved, it is inferred
that the defense to be set ur by
Fall and Doheny agaiiet the CTS
eminent lawyers will be to the c.
feet that Fall did not personally
make the lease of Doheny.
The claim is set up that the
lease to Doheny was made, not by
Fall directly, but by the secretary
Of the navy with the advice aad
participation of some of his own
staff, together with some Of the ex-
perts from the interior department
The Claim made by these friends is
that Falls participation was con
fined 70 approval. From this po-
sition, these friends pass on to the
claim that the 100000 dollars
which Qoheny transferred to Fail
could rot have a compensation, hut
was as Doheny claimed, merely
loan to an oil friend of thirty
years. standing, and a wholly sep
arate TRANSITION.
Whatever lega strength such i
position might have, ard whatever
else the nature of the defense to be
set up in the case, it is realized that
the government lawyers are gong
to have difficulty in making Their
eases successful. Competent law
yers who have followed the oil IN
Vestigation say that there haze
been two possible ways Tor the guy
ernment lawyers to proceed. one
IS on the allegation that there was
a conspiracy, the other is the more
throw allegation of bribery. As
between these two methods, govern
ment lawyers almost always prefer
to charge conspiracy if they can.

Here is Clarence F. barrow,
veteran criminal lawyer, at the
climax of the greatest fight of
his long career-his battle to
save Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and
Richard Loeb from the gaIlows.
Chief Justice John R. Caverly's
court was crowded when the
"old lion" began his final argu-
rnent. Darrow was the attrac-
ton. And barrow did not disap-
point them. Despite his 81 years,
he was delivering the greatest
Grafton of all his 46 years at the
bar. Never had a greater plea
been made in the little court room.
Behind Darrow sits his chief
aide, Attorney Benjamin Bach
rach (No. y, Right back Of
Bachrach is Leopold (No.3.) Next
to Nathan is DiclSie Loeb (No.4).
Never once did their eyes leave
the man who is making the last
supreme effort to deny the state
of their lives.
