than the overwater flight record set
by Commander John Rodgers. U. S.

today to knock out the prosecution

that congressional testimony cannot
be offered as<evidence in a Criminal
trial of the person giving the testi-
mony.
If the story is knocked out, the
defense will be able to give the jurs'
it's own carefully developed story Of
the transaction, told by Doheny him
self, and perhaps by FAN, on the
Stand.
Faces Serious Blow
Loss of the damaging evidence
given by Doheny at the two memor-
able committee sessions Jan. "a and
Feb. 1, 1924, will leave a mortifying
gap in the governments case sup
porting indictments charging Doheny

floor leader of the prosecution, as
serted that the testimony would be
admitted after argument on the
point before Justic Adolph Hoehling

allowed to hear the argument or

until and after it has been ruled
admissible.

tion to the statute was in case OF

Center Developed
More and more the entire case is
centering on Doheny's own story of
the transaction. The defense is
counting on the bluff, good-natured
oil millionaire of II years to con-
vince the jury that his loan was
not made in the hope or promise
that Fall would lease him the rich

journey from Hampton Roads to
