get that Denny fought in two wars,
that he did not go into q training
camp or use his influence to get a
commission.
''As a young man he went with his
father, then United States Minister to
China, and there in the Orient he be-
came acquainted with the situation
respecting China and Japan he said.
$50 when he went to the Navy coun-
ellis he knew these things at first
hand. He knew of the emergency
which led Robson to make his appeal
to Doheny as a result of which DO
heny went into this BUSINESS. Mr..
Lambert referred to this act of DO
henys as wonderful piece of pa
triotiem,'' adding II know every one
of you Jurymen would be glad to emu
late him.
Then he undertook to defend Falls
character, describing him as a man
who had read law by the candle
light" and mad Joined Theodore
Roosevelt at San Juan, acquitting
himself with credit"
Referring to his early career as a
Federal Judge in New Mexico and his
later success, Mr.. Lambert turned TO
the jury. "All of you would be
proud to walk in his footsteps; il not
you are not true Americans
Efforts to Aid New Mexico.
Then the attorney told Of Falls eff.
forts to secure statehood for New
Mexico and declared that he was
placed in the Senate by those who
knew him best. He lauded FalIs war
record in the Senate, declaring that
during those days he was helping all
he could to pilot the destiny OF our
1roOnc over there ~
He had only served two years OF
his third term when he was llteraiiE
picked up and carried into the caol-
net" the attorney added.
Lambert then turned the attention
of the jury to the 100000 loan.
You have heard in the evidence
that he could have gotten this loan
from Mr.. Mclean, or from El Paso, or
he could have borrowed it on his
ranch" said Mr.. Lambert. You
have heard from Mr.. Doheny how he
told Fall he would be glad to help
him, as Fall had helped him 40 years
before, when he was more prosper
Gus and when Doheny was a poor
prospector digging with pick ana
shovel"
Lambert pointed out that Fall had
not asked Doheny first for a loan,
but had appealed to him only after
he had severed his connection with
the oil situation and had turned 1t
over to the Navy Department. Not
until then, he said, did Fall call up
Doheny to say that he was going
West and might need the cash and
asked Mr. Doheny If he were of the
same opinion still about making him
the loan.
Referred Aides to Navy.
WAS that nefarious transaction
or was it a legitimate innocent
loan?" asked Lambert. IF it is sus-
ceptible of an innocent conclusion
it is your duty to drop it," Lambert
declared. Passing from that, Lam
bert declared that Fall was not in
Washington during the negotiations
prior to the December IL contract.
I'm response to all the wires sent
to him his only answer was Move
no step in consideration Of Doheny
without instructions from the
Navy!"
Mr.. Lambert minimized the value
Of the preferential right clause, de-
claring that it meant nothing more
or less than that the company should
obtain leases at some future time
when the Secretary Of the Interior
should open up the naval reserves
That Secretary of thA Interior did
not mean Fall he declared, because
Fall was going out Of office.
Then turning to the jury Mr..
Lambert said feelingly: Think of
the miner Fall, the warrior Fall, the
judge Fall, the Senator Fall, the Fall
who was a member of the cabinet,
and then come back into this court
room and through your foreman h Id
