Leahy Objects Again.


Attorney Leahy, for Mr.. Fall, OBJ
jected when Roberts pressed the wit
ness to assert under whose authority
naval oil leases were executed, except
the Teapot Dome lease. The court
overruled the objection.
Except for this lease and those IN
California / signed all oil leases.
Judge Finney replied.
He was next asked If the Teapot
Dome lease had ever been shown him
before it was executed.
Il never saw it until after 1t was
executed" Finney replied.
A long legal wrangle followed when
Roberts produced a letter written by
Fall and dated July s, 1921, which
| he said referred to the California
| leases.
Mr.. Hoover protested vigorously on
| behalf OF Sinclair, claiming that under
| the rules of criminal procedure the
letter could not be properly sub
mitted.
1t was this letter in which Mr.. Fall
was believed to have written Edward
l.. Doheny telling him that full con
troll of the California oil lease was
| in his hands.
Justice Siddons admitted the letter
| in evidence and court took its lunch
con recess before 1t was read to the
| jury.
Mr.. Littleton began the last half OF
his opening argument this morning by
referring to visit made to Fall and
his family in the lat4er part of 1921

After Secretary DENLY had been
fully advised as to this situation, Lit.
tleton said, he then gave instructions
to proceed with the leasing Of Teapot
Dome. Robson had told him he did
not believe the oil would be of any use
to the Navy unless stored in sufficient
quantities along the Pacific and Gulf
Coasts This was the dominating idea
with Robson. Littleton declared.
Negotiations Called Constant.
Storage of oil for preservation and
protection of the Teapot Dome from
drainage was the foundation for max
ing this lease, Littleton claimed, as
result of which the Government
charges conspiracy.
Shortly after Falls return, Robson
explained to Sinclair and Zevely, his
counsel, the need of pipe line IL
Teapot Dome was to be leased, and
explained the exchange of crude oil
for fuel oil.
Sinclair few days later submitted
an informal application on February
3 for the lease of Teapot Dome, en-
Dracing in it these proposals. On Feb.
ruary Is Fall directed Ambrose to
prepare tentative draft of the lease.
From this date until April Z. when the
