Everhart admitted he had been gen.
eral manager of the Tres Ritos Cat
tie and Land Company until 1923
and had full power of attorney for
it.
Around September, 1921, the Tres
Ritos Company was in bad financial
condition, had suffered losses and
owed much money, Everhart said.
"Did the Tres Ritos Land Com
pany have any business transactions
with Harry F. Sinclair prior to Feb
ruary 1, 1927" asked the prosecutor,
establishing motive for solicitation
of bride.
II decline to answer"
Everhart had a prepared state
ment he wanted to read and the
judge dismissed the jury.
AS the witness mumbled out his
fear of incrimination, Mrs. Fall and
her two daughters, Sinclair's mother
and Mrs. C. C. Chase, burst into
tears. Only Mrs. Sinclair was dry
eyed.

discrimination" Silent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81
Taking more than an hour this morn
ing for the involved and complicated
mass of legal technicalities with which
he shrouded his decision, Justice Sid
dons, presiding at the Teapot Dome
oil graft trial today ruled that the
testimony before the senate of the
two defendants, Harry F. Sinclair, oil
baron, and Albert B. Fall former
secretary of the interior during the
Republican administration of Presi-
dent Harding, will not be admitted to
this trial.
This frees a jury, already suspect
ed of being friendly to the defense,
from the dilemma of having to ex-
plain to themselves and the world
how Sinclair's statement to the sem
ate committee that he went to New
Mexico in 1922 to see Fall and get
a lease on Teapot Dome can be made
consistent with his present defense
that he did nothing of the sort. The
ruling Of Justice Siddons is consid-
cred as the greatest victory won by
either side so far in the trial.
Falls Relative 'Incriminated."
M. T. Everhart, son-in-law of for
mer Secretary of the Interior Albert
B. Fall who, with Harry F. Sinclair,
is standing trial for criminal con-
spiracy, today refused to testify on
the ground he might incriminate him
self.
Everhart had been called by the
government to tell of any knowledge
he might have of the deal wherein
it is charged Fall accepted a bride
of $250,000 in Liberty Bonds from
Sinclair in connection with the Tea
pot Dome naval oil reserve lease.
Questions Link with Bride"
Everhart's refusal electrified the
jury. They leaned forward in their
seats and listened attentively.
It is contended that Everhart went
East, got the bonds from represen-
tative of a company Sinclair was
interested in, and took them West
where he deposited them to Falls
account or sold them for the ex-sec-
rotary.
'What are your business relations
