Man Wanted in Teapot Dome
Case May Face Property
Forfeiture for Absence.
Rr the Associated Press.

Harry NJ. Blackmer. the oil man.
sought by the Department OF justice
as a witness in the Teapot Dome OIL
case, may have another Government
department to deal with.
1t was disclosed yesterday that the
Treasury Department is giving close
scrutiny to Blackmers tax returns OF
past years. officials at the Internal
Revenue Bureau refused to comment
on this phase OF the case in any way,
however, or on the amount involved.
Blackmer has been served with
subpoena in Europe and his passport
revoked. but there has been no indi-
cation that he would comply with the
summons to appear at the trial OF
Harry +. Sinclair and Albert B. Fan,
now set for the Autumn.
Should the Treasury make charges
against him, however, it still might
not be possible to bring him back to
the United States by extradition un.
der the treaty with France, which
does not cover tax cases. Officials
have been doubtful that he could be
forced to return by the subpoena, al.
though the law requires forfeiture OF
his property in the United States II
he persists in absenting himself.
The testimony of Blackmer and
James f. O'Neill, another oil man,
both of whom are in Europe, has
been vigorously sought by the Gov
eminent counsel in the oil cases.
O'Neill has never been served with
subpoena.
