Everhart, Son-in-Law of Accused, Declines to Answer Questions in Bond Probe, Lest He Be Incriminated.
Government Tries to Es- tablish Fraudulent Mo- tive for ex-Secretary's Lease of Teapot Dome Oil Reserves.

Washington, Oct. 21 LP-GettIng to the heart of it's case. the govern ment today presented testimony in the Tea Pot Dome trial that s90 o0o in liberty bonds had been placed in a safety box held in the name of AL bert B. Fall after the leasing of Tea Pot Dome to Harry F. Sinclair. and that huge debts of Falls New Mex leo ranch had been paid off about the same time.
 The S90,000 in bonds was placed with the First National bank of Pueblo, Colo, by Vi. I. Everhart. 1alFs brother-in-law, after a trip east. z. T. Rule, assistant cashier of the bank, testified. Then the government presented the books of Falls Tres Ritos ranch. in which Everhart also was interested. and developed testimony that holders of S14O.oo0 in notes had been paid off with bonds other than the s90,00O ENerhart had deposited.
 Follows Court Ruling
 Rules testimony followed a ruling by the court that Sinclair's sworn testimony before the serate oil in y"stigation committee could not be used against him, but that voluntary statements might be offered. The point at issue was whether Sinclair went to Falls ranch prior to leas- ing the naval oil reserve from Fall for the purpose of discussing the Dome.
 Refuses 10 Testify
 M. T. Eyerhart. son-in-law of Fall, the man, the government con- tends carried liberty bonds to Fall after the leasing of Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve declined to an- SWer number Of questions in the oil trial today on the ground that it might tend to incriminate him.
 EVerhart in reply 10 one query by Justice Siddons declared the question at issue was asked in an attempt to connect him with a con- spiracy. He was instructed by the court to reply to the question.
 One of the questions Everhart re fused to answer was whether the Tres Riots ranch company, largely owned by Fall. had any business transactions with Harry F. Sinclair lessee to Tea Pot Dome, prior to February. 1922. F.verhart tried 10 read statement but the court sent the jury out of the room while Ever hart explained.
