what took place.
II first asked Mr.. Fall about hi
family, and then told him that 1 hat
brought the money which father hat
promised to lend him."
The witness then stated that HI
took the money from it's receptacle
he did not mention whether it was
satchel or not-placed the stocks o
bills on Falls desk and counted then
to ascertain whether the full amount
of 100000 was at hand.
Then Mr.. Fall sat at his desk an(
wrote out a demand note" Doheny
said.
Hogan produced the note which Do

writing.
II then told him that he had not
filled in the interest rate" Doheny re
lated Fall told him that his father
had not said anything about what
rate of interest the note should bear
II didn't feel like debating the rate,
Doheny said, adding that Fall said
that the rate would be the legal rate
of interest.

Mr.. Fall for more than half an hour

Learned About Torn Note.
when did you learn that the note
had been torn in half?" asked Mr.
Hogan.
II think about Christmas of 1921
l learned that from my mother" the
witness replied. At this point Mr.
Hogan shifted the questioning from
the 100000 note transaction to Do
contracts. The young man said he
had nothing to do with either the
April 25 or December II leases, since
they did not come in his department.

he related calling on Admiral Robson

then about oil matters, he said. Robl'
son invited him to dinner that night
at his home, and then the witness
said the question of oil drainage was
brought up by the admiral. He said
Robson was anxious to see the Navy
benefit from the reserves and asked
him about offset wells.
II told him I was not very expe
rienced in such matters, and he asked
me about getting the benefits Of my
fathers advice and experience
Young Doheny said that he would
speak to his father about it.
Did he mention Pearl Harbor?'
asked Hogan.
Yes" replied Doheny; "he said he
was trying to get an adequate supply
Of fuel oil for Pearl Harbor, saying
that high naval authorities believed
such a supply necessary in case of an
attack in the Pacific. He said he
thought it one Of the most important
questions Of national defense taken
up by the Navy"
After this conversation with ROb1

father and arranged for him to visit
the naval officer the next time he was
