Admission Of Sinclair's Tes-

WAEHINGTON Oct. "a lP.--Mov-
ing swiftly to one of the more impor-
tant elements Of their case, special
government oil counsel developed to-
day before jury In the District OF
Columbia supreme court that Albert
B. Fall, as interior secretary, took per-
sona1 direction over the drafting OF
the lease which Harry F, Sinclair OBJ
tanned for the exploitation Of Teapot
Dome, the naVy's oil reserve in Wyo-
ming,
Three present or former employees OF
the interior department were called IN
the Oil conspiracy trial and from them
counsel elected a connected story OF
events preceding the signing OF the
lease, a story which had these as It's
essential details
THAT during the Christmas holidays
of 1921, when Sinclair was visiting
Fall at Three Rivers, N. Mex, Charles
v. Stafford, administrative assistant
to the. secretary, called for a report as
to claims to property in Teapot Dome.
This report was prepared jointly by
Roy w. Tallmar, a special agent OF
the interior department, and Herbert
w. MacFarren, a mineral examiner,
and set forth that none Of the claims
was worthy of consideration and tnaG
from "a geological and operating polnt
of view, it seems imperative not 10
open up the Teapot Dome in any
manner"
subsequently Fall, who had returned
to Washington, called for second
report, which he received on March lo,
1922. less than month before the
sinclair lease was signed. This report
dealt primarily with the claims OF the
pioneer Oil and Gas company.
Tallman said that both he and L.
Eddy. another witness, had told Fail
that all the claims had been scloseo
o1t" The final letter could not. pe
found in the files, but Fall was quoteo
by this witness as saying he had no
doubt it had been misplaced. Inell
Tallman attributed to the former capl-
NET officer a statement that he was
looking at the matter from the stand
noint of "a cautious lawyer" and was
annrehensiye that the claims might
come into the possession OF "urlscrupu-
lous persons" who might use them 70
the disadvantage of the government.
Arthur w Ambrose one time petro-
leum technologist in llle interior de-
partment, testified Fall called him IN
told him Sinclair had made an offer
for leasing Teapot Dome; introduced
him to the oil operator and his attor-
ney, the late J. w. zevly, and directed
him to prepare lease.
First negotiations began in Falls
office, then proceeded in his library
