Faison admitted during his first

apartment when the shot that
ksnuffed out her life was fired and
to have carried her to Stuart Circle

Defense attorneys sought to prove
in the first trial that Mrs. Snipes
shot herself and introduced evi-
dence tending to show that she
threatened self-destruction 4 few
days prior to the shooting.
FAison maintains that he was in
Mrs. snipes' living room, awaiting

ing that Mrs. Snipes did not shoot

While police endeavored to weave

about Faison, they also set them
selves to the task of ascertaining
whether there was any basis for a
statement alleged to have been
made by Mrs. Snipes to Mrs. Faison
just prior to the shooting that IT

plain why his name was penciled on

memorandum.
The Sinclair donations to the Re-
publican party had unusual signifl-
canoe because they were made In
1929, within a month after Nthe
senate began to investigate his
lease Of Teapot Dome. They came
chiefly from his profits In the

ing Sinclair's gifts to the Repillo-,
leans.
HIS Personal Record
The note was Pratt's personal
record of q deal by which he took
$50 900 az Sinclair bonds from HAYS
and sent 4 $4,000 check to Fred
w. JTphan. Republican national
treasurer, at Chicago. Later. Hays
said, Pratt returned the bonds to
him, so he could give them back
to Sinclair. Heretofore, both the
late John W.. Weeks and Senator
T. Coleman dii Point a.l sOf Della
ware, whose names were on the
memorandum, prevfousIy were
shown TO have handled Sinclair
bonds for the Republicans. Most
OF the bonds given both Pratt and
Du Popt by Hays have been proven
to be Continental bonds.
Significance In Dates
These Sinclair gifts acquired
significance. not solely because he
leased Teapot Dome through a Re
publican administration, but also
because OF the coincidence of dates.
He helped the party in the midst
of the Teapot Dome scandal. 1t
was in late November, 1923. that
Sinclair turned his bonds over to

ing to take the bonds. give an
equal amount of cash to the party
and then to remain silent about
the transactions.
1t was in February. 1924. that
Hays gathered back some of the
Sinclair bonds, to return them to
the man who leased Teapot Dome
The record of the Senate investi-
CATION shed an interesting light on
these dates.
The Senate oil inquiry began Octo-
Der %, 1923. On November 30, 1928.
the very day that Upham received
Pratt's $4,000 check in return for
Sinclair bonds, it was revealed to
the Senate committee that Albert
B. Fall, former Secretary of Interior,
had become affluent in a sudden
and mysterious fashion. December,
1928, and January. 1924, Fall. Sin
clair and e. L. Dohenv were trying
to explain Falls sudden wealth.
First Fall said he got a S100. 600
loan from Edward r. Mclean.
Washington publisher, but on Janu-
ary II. 1924, Mclean denied this
story. On January "a. 1924. Doheny
admitted making Fall a loan" of
500, 900. and the next day Sinclair's
attorney admitted that Sinclair gave
Fall a $4,000 '1oan".
