follow Costinett to his store and
remain in the vicinity about an hour
when another man arrived and re-
manned in the vicinity until almost
nightfall.
In the October 81 report, it was
stated that one man several times
circled the block where Costinett's
store is and that later another man
loitered about the place for two hours.
When Costinett went home a third
man was seen standing there for
some time.
Besides questioning CoStinett and
Greenfield, the grand jury heard Nor
man j. Glascock, juror one of the
Burns detectives said he trailed to
the Potomac flying field near Wash
ington and there saw him in con-
versation with man who drove up
in car owned by Harris r. Lamb
a special assistant to the attorney
general.
Glascoek said he never had been
at the Potomac field either on that
day or any other; that the pay
records of his firm would show that
he worked all that day. and he also
said he did not know Lamb When
brought face to face with GIascock,
Lamb also said he never had seen
the juror before. Neil Burkinshaw,
assistant district attorney in charge
of the investigation, introduced them.
Lamb and the juror shook hands
vigorously, each smiling broadly.
George Aikens, proprietor of an
automobile repair shop, said before
he entered the grand jury room that
he had Lambs car from Friday
evening, October 81, until 2 p m
the following day and that it was
not at the Potomac field during that
time.
William " Long, the Burns de-
tective who made the affidavit con-
cerning Glascock, could not identify
Lamb as the man he claimed he
saw talking to Glascock.
Renewed efforts to connect Harry
F. Sinclair directly with the employ
ment Of the Burns men will be made
tomorrow by the grand Jury in ques-
tioning Sheldon Clark, vice president
and general manager of the Sinclair
Refining company, who was excused
today until that time so he might
confer with his attorney, Morgan
Beech, a former clerk of the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court
Clark was here during at least a
part of the trial and District Attorney
Gordon has information that he re-
ceived reports from private detectives
on their jury shadowing activities.
Similar information was obtained by
Henry Mason Day, another conf
Dental employe of the Sinclair in
terests, but he refused to talk about
it before the grand jury, taking the
position that he could not be forced
to answer because his testimony
might tend to incriminate him.
Day is at liberty under $4,000 bond
jury, which may not conclude its
inquiry for another week.
Tt developed today that Harry JEFF
freys, chief clerk of the Sinclair Con-
Solidated Oil company. was sub
poenaed for questioning as to whether
he actually made the arrangements
with the Burns detectives for the jury
surveillance and who is paying the
bill.
During the day government counsel
applied to Justice Siddons for new
SubpoenaS for Harry M. Blackmer and
James E. O'Neill, wealthy oil operat-
orS, and missing witnesses in the oil
conspiracy case. Blackmer was
served in Paris for the last trial but
defied the court and motion for a
rule in contempt has been filed in
his case.
Although American consuls searched
through a half dozen different coun-
tries, they were unable to serve a /
subpoena on O'Neill, former presi-
dent of Prairie Oil and Gas company,
and enc of the men present at the
New York conference at which ar
rangements were made for Sinclair
