of alleged jury tampering by Harry

closure of which resulted in a mis-.
trial of the Teapot Dome oil con-
spiracy case. The witness who
appeared today was Harry Jeffreys,
chief clerk of the Sinclair Consoli.
dated Oil Company.
Injection Of Jeffreys into the in.
vestigation came as surprise and
as a direct result of yesterdays
testimony by William J. Burns and
his son, w. Sherman Burns.
Burns and his son had indicated
that H. Mason Day, vice president
Of the Sinclair Exploration Com
pany, was the employer of the
detectives. Day is out on $25, 900

SUED BY
WIFE

PARIS, Nov. 8. - Henry
Mason Day, vice president Of
the Sinclair Exploration Com
pany, and the chief figure in
the grand jury investigation of
the charges that attempts
were made to tamper with the
Sinclair-Fall jury, was today
sued for divorce by his wife.
Wife a Noted Singer
Mrs. Day is a, singer of inter-
national note. She is a Brooklyn
woman, who married the oil man
in that borough in 1910. As
Elizabeth de Selding, of Brook
lyn, Mrs. Day attained high repu-
tation as a mezzo-soprano. Her
husbands work brought him to
Europe and into the largest oil
development fields of the world.
On kitchner's Staff
She came along and her dynamic
personality soon attracted attention.
She was in London at the opening
Of the World War.
Kitchener, then the war lord of
England, had need for stirring popu-
lar enthusiasm for recruiting and
Mrs. Day joined his staff. lending
her voice to the encouragement of
such as did not hastily take the
Kings shilling and join the colors.
At a later period she became
chairman of the Franco-American
music committee, where she d.
rected musical entertainment for the
wounded.
The New York social register lists
Mrs. Days home as Paris.

JURY TRAILING

shadowing jurors in important
criminal cases is customary, Will

agency that bears his name, said to-
day in q statement defending the

Burns said. ''that for IS years the
Government has employed opera
tivea to watch jurors in important
criminal cases in practically every
state in the Union, and the defend
ant has been accorded the same
right. TIL universal exercise of
such rights has never been chal-
lenged.
Until the present time" he said,

States Government, Of which I was
recently an official. and for the
court. required that I should maze
no statement until had appeared
before the Grand Jury as a witness
for the United States. Now that l
have appeared, It is only fair to
me that my story should be told to
the public, which has grossly mis-
understood this matter. due to the
partial statements, largely inuendoes,
which have been given to the press.
Customary Procedure

where there is fear that a jury may
be improperly influenced, it has
always been the custom for both
sides, in proper way, to see that
