The Government received a setback
In the Teapot Dome suit today when
Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy
ruled that records and statements
showing financial affairs of Albert
B. Fail were not admissible as evil
dence. He said they were incom-
petent and immaterial.
Judge Kennedy sustained the de-
fense objection against admission OF
the records on the ground this tes-
timony was ''hearsay" and had no
connection with the governments
suit to break the lease of the Nam
moth Dol company on the naval oil
reserve.
Defense counsel fought vigorously
to block admission OF the records by
whi.h the Government hopes to
trace $2s0,500 in Liberty bonds from

No attempt has been made to
trace the bonds in controversy to
