timony on Continen-
tai Oil Purchase

WASHINGTON, u. c.. Oct. 31.-CP)
The defense in the Fall-Sinclair

today when Justice Siddons ruled

Z. Humphrey Companies.
Government counsel have been
seeking TO link Harry r. Sinclair,
Dome naval oil reserve with the
Dame naval oil reseryew ith the
continental. This company. the gov
ernment contends, was in posses
sion of $230,500 in liberty bonds
which found their way to Albert b.
Fall, former secretary Of the in
terror, after thc lease was signed.
| Through former Senator Charles
Thomas, Of Colorado, the prosecu-
tim wanted to establish that Sim
clair was named as the vendee in the
original draft of contract Thomas
drew. Whatever name was in the
Draft was changed to that Of the
Continental company.
Thomas said he had placed a name
in the original or skeleton draft;
that this draft became the subject
Of discussion among those attending
the conference at the Vanderbilt
hotel in New York on November Is,
1921 and that as Thomas was leau-
ing the room TO draw the final
draft, Harry b. Blackmer, n missing
witness in this trial, told him to
put in the name Of the Continental
company as vendee.
Besides Sinclair, Thomas and
Blackmer. those named as attending
the conference included Robert w.
Stewart, chairman Of the board Of
the Standard Oil company Of Indi-
ana. and James r. O'Neil, president
Of the Prairie Oil & Gas company
and anotherm issing witness in the
