Earlier, Chief Justice Mccoy
Of the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court, exempted Day
from answering questions
asked him by the grand jury in
its jury tampering investiga-
ton.
Days bond was set at $25,00o. This
large sum was asked by Burkinshaw
80 that Day will not go abroad
while he is wanted" Day now
awaits further action of the grand
jury.
Sinclair in New York
Sinclair is in New York and the
warrant against him will have to be
served there.
The warrant for Sinclair climaxed
the Governments efforts to link
him directly with the group OF
Burns detectives who allegedly fol-
lowed Fall Sinclair jurors during the
recent trial. The Government felt
that it had achieved this task suff-
GENTLY to warrant this serious &C
ton against the wealthy oil de-
fendant.
1t had evidence that detective
headquarters was maintained in the
Wardman Park Hotel here; that OPP
eratives followed every move Of the
Jurors; that Sinclair had engaged
a private chauffeur for mysterious
errands during the trial and that
Day had paid this chauffeur.
Before taking this drastic step, the
Government had issued subpoenas
for William j. Burns, head of the
detective agency bearing his name:
for Burns son, w. Sherman Eurns,
secretary Of the agency, and for
Sheldon Clark Of Chicago. Sinclair
Oil Company executive, who al
legedly visited Sinclair during the
trial.
Detectives Appear Monday
The detective heads were to ap-
pear before the grand jury Monday
with records of their Office pertain
ing to the surveillance.
While these startling develop
ments occurred and the grand Jury
was hearing additional witnesses,
Justice Siddons set for Monday, Jan.
16, retrial of the original Teapot
Dome conspiracy case which ended
in a mistrial Wednesday.
A petition was filed to hold II. M.
missing "key witness" In
the oil conspiracy case, In contempt
Of court for. refusing to answer a
subpoena served on him in Europe
some time ago.
A new subpoena will be issued for
this mysterious oil man. A similar
subpoena will be issued for James
E. O'Neil, another oil executive,
likewise hunted in vain as a wit
ness for the Government.
Congress May Act
Meantime congressional action
may have determining influence
on the outcome of the new trial. The
United Press learns that bills are
to be introduced early next month,
designed to compel M. T. Everhart,
Falls son-in-law, to testify where he
got the Liberty Bonds for Falls ac-
count, and also to permit a change
Of venue from the District Of Co

here, where the recent jury-tamper-

Present laws contain no provi-
