OIL LEASE CHARGES
SHOW LAWS DELAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. = Two
years and five months after they were
indicted for criminal conspiracy in
connection with naval oil leases, Ed
ward L. Doheny, oil magnate, and
Alfred B. Fall, secretary of the in
terror in the Harding cabinet, appear
ed for the first time in court and
plead not guilty.
Fall was indicted in June, 1924.
The following August the government
filed an answer to his appeal that
the indictment be quashed. In De-
cember Of that year the government
concluded that its answer was not
sufficient and asked permission to
withdraw same. In April, the next
year, the indictment was set aside
because the government permitted
clerk to be in the grand jury room
when the charges were considered
nine months before.
In May, 1925, the government Sc
cured a new indictment, thus placing
itself in its original position after 12
months Of delay.
More appeals and red tape during
the Is intervening months, and on No
vember 10, 1926, Fall finally appeared
in court for few minutes and plead
not guilty.
The criminal charge is connected
with the transfer Of 100000 in the
'little black satchel' from Doheney to
Fall. The defense claims this trans
fer was a loan, The prosecution in
sists it was a bribe.
