ADJOURNMENT IN
 SINCLAIR TRIAL
Case Now Is Continued Until
 Monday

Washington. March 10.--tP-The g contempt trial of Harry r. Sinclair moved haltingly through a fore noon session full of extra ordinary features today and then adjourned until Monday.
 Deciding that he wanted to hear the defense testimony himself be- fore he decided whether it was ad- missible before the jury, Justice IItz sent the jurymen home early, and then ordered the trial to go on. The first and only witness to be called was Martin W. Littleton, Sin ctair's chief counsel, who upset the usual courtroom picture by moving from the attorneys table into the witness chair and submitting docile- ly 10 the questioning of his col lea gues.
 Litueton testified that Sinclair was acting on his advice, as coun- sel. when he refused before the senate oil committee 10 answer the questions about Teapot Dome that became the basis of the present contempt charge,
 Previously the defense again had sought to get before the jury Sim clairs testimony before the senate investigators prior to his final re- tusa! to answer. The defense at torneys argued that this evidence was pertinent in that it would show the oil magnate had previously an swered all the questions asked and left unanswered on the final day. But Justice Hitz, excusing the jury, said he wanted more light on that subject and would hear what else the defense had 10 offer before he decided what should go before the lurymen.
 The defense attorneys, in addi- ton to calling Littieton as a wit ness, submitted Sinclair's state- ment before the committee that his refusal to answer was based on the fact that the Teapot Dome con- troversy already had been turned over 10 the courts
