SINCLAIR EXPLAINS
 REFUSAL ID TALK.
Believes His Testimony Should
 Be for Court

Washington. March Harry F. Sinclair, who holds the lease 10 Tea pot Dome, refused to testify before the oil committee today on the ground that any evidence he may possess should be reserved for the courts.
 Explains Refusal. The oil operator said he did not take the position, however. that his answer might tend to incriniinate him.
 There is nothing" he said, ''in any of the facts of circumstances of the lease of the Teapot Dome which does or car incriminate."
 In statement made after the con- mittee had refused unanimously to concede his plea against the author ity of the investigators, he declared he did not desire to plead that his re- plies might tend 10 incriminate him, because there was nothing in the facts relating to his Teapot Dome lease that was discriminating.
 ''I shall reserve any evidence l may be able to give" Sinclair said to the 'committee, for those courts to which you and your colleagues have deliber- ately referred all questions over which you had any Jurisdiction, and shall re- spectfully decline to answer any ques- tions propounded by your committed
 "There is nothing" he continued, "in any of the facts or circumstances of the lease of Teapot Dome. which does or can incriminate."
 The statement then recapitulated his previous appearances before sen- ate committee regarding the lease and added:
 Thus it appears that I have been before your committee at five differ ent sessions and answered all ques- tions and produced all books and pa- pers called for. and I was finally ex- cused from further attendance"
 Sinclair called attention to the fact that the resolution authorizing prose- cution in the oil lease cases had been passed by the senate since his last ap- pearance. The resolution in effect ''denounces the lease between the gov ernment and the Mammoth Oil com pany," he said, on the grounds of fraud and corruption.
 "This is an assertion that under
New Britain herald., 1924-03-22

the rights and equities of the United States. the land covered by the lease of Teapot Dome belongs to the United States" the statement said. | Events in connection with appoint ment of special government counsel to proceed with lease litigation were revived in the statement which then referred to the fact that the evidence i is to bc presented before special grand jury here.
 "It is perfectly clear. therefore, from the language of the resolution" :" Sinclair continued. that your com mittee by reason of any constitutional power which it may possess or by vir- tue of the resolution under which it is active, is not now engaged. nor could if he engaged in any investiga- ton with particular reference to the protection of the rights and equities of the United States and the preser- ration of its natural resources. be- cause the senate. from whom you de rive your authority. has unanimously passed upon all the questions em- braced within that authorization and
 
 ty it had in the premises"
 Sinclair then said he claimed that the committee was without any jurisdiction to question me further regarding the procurement of the lease or the validity thereof or any fact or circumstance pertaining thereto."'
 If the examination should be direct cd toward "eiiciting facts concerning fraud or corruption.' the statement added. the committee would have con- stituted itself "a grand jury on mat ters already submitted by the govern ment't the constitutional authori- ties of the country"
 Again Declines Reply.
 When Sinclair had finished reading his statement, Senator Walsh said he desired to ask him about the testi- mony of Frederick G. Bonfils, pub fisher of the Denver Post. The oper- ator conferred with his counsel, Mar tin w. Littleton, and then replied:
 "1 decline to answer on advice Of counsel on the same grounds"
 Senator Walsh asked about Sin clair's purchase from the Pioneer and Belgo Oil companies of their claims in the Teapot Dome, and got the same answer. Then the prosecutor put in a long line of questions covering all the important matters on which he desired to interrogate him, and the oil magnate declined to answer each "on the same grounds"
 Sinclair then was excused
 Thank you very much, gentle men," said Littleton as he accompan- jed his client away from the witness chair.
