pointing to possible
mistrial in the Tea Pot Dome oil
conspiracy case was taken under ad-
visement by Justice Siddens today
after he lad been in secret confer
ence for three-qnartrs Of an hour

Both Harry +. Sinclair and Albert
b. Fall were present at the meeting
OF judge and counsel in the courts
private chambers.
Meantime, the jury which has not
been locked Up during the trial, was
put under guard In nearby room.
When the judges conference broke
up, however, and court adjourned
for lunch, Justice Siddons ordered
that the jurors be permitted TO 20
free, as usual, until the afternoon
session.
Just after court recessed, IL be-
came known that the government al
ready had taken steps to bring to the
attention Of grand jury the charges
it had presented TO Justice Siddons.
1t was indicated that several affi-
davits had been put before the Judge
and that they related to statements
attributed to one Of the jurors and
to the alleged activities Of certain
private detectives in Washington
since the trial began.
A mistrial. which would be the
natural sequence Of such affidavits,
wucld mean that al thEat has been
done to build up the case against
former Secretary Albert B. Fall and
Harry F. Sinclair would have to be
done over again before a new jury.
The stroke came just as the gov
ernment was drawing toward. a con-

hoped TO prove that certain bonds
passed from the Sinclair interests TO

retary signed leasa turning the

Hundreds Of rumors sur charged
the tense atmosphere about the
court house. One Of these was that
the governments case might reach
into new and surprising quarters.
Another was that two Of the Jurors
were under surveillance by deputy
marshals pending a report Of the
grand jury.
