DRAINAGE
EVIDENCE
EXCLUDED
Government Scores Point
Against Defense in Sin
clair Trial.
PAPERS ARE WARNED
Court Cautions Against
Publishing Text of Fall
Deposition,
By United Press Lenscd Wire

WASHINGTON, April 1G.-The
government scored heavily today in
the oil conspiracy trial of Harry
+. Sinclair, when Justice Bailey in
District of Columbia supreme court
excluded defense testimony tending
Ia show that leasing of Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve was neces-
sary because of oil drainage into
other fields.
The defense noted an exception
to Justice Bailey's $ ruling against
drainage evidence. George Hoover
defense counsel argued strongly
that the defense needed II introduce
such evidence to lead up to the
main points in the case.
Justice Bailey merely said COX
ccptions noted and ordered the
trial to proceed.
Justice Bailey upheld the object
ions of Owen Roberts, special
government oil prosecutor, that such
testimony was irrelevant. He ruled
it had no direct bearing on the in
dictmcnt charging Sinclair got the
Teapot Dome lease through conspir,
acE.
Evidence of three defense witncst
ses was stopped by Justice Bailey on
government objection. First r. {.
Finney, assistant secretary of in
terror, was excused while testifying
in support of Sinclair 5 contention
that competitive bidding was not
necessary on Teapot Dome. Second,
the court ruled out exhibition by
4. G. Neatch, Sinclair official, of a
model of Teapot Dome to show the
alleged drainage. Third, Carroll IL.
Wedgeman, former government pet
roleum expert, was prevented from
answering questions of defense at.
lorney Hoover along the same lines.
Model OF Field Used
The defense rcverses occurred
soon after the government had fin
ally rested it case. On opening of
court, Justice Bailey said the gov
crnment could not introduce tcsti-
mony of f. l.. Dohcny, Jr., that he
had carried 100000 from his father
TO Fall prior to the naval oil lease
transactions. The government was
permitted, however, to present two
witnesses to show that FAN rcceiv-
ed $25 900 bonds as fees from Harry
+. Sinclair in 1923 after Fall and
Sinclair had completed an unsuc'
ccssful hunt for oil concessions in
Russia. These two witnesses com
pleted the prosecution S case.
Later, however, Justice Bailey
allowed the model of Teapot Dome
to be brought back into court, to be
used for illustrating the field but
rot to be admitted as evidence.
Justice Bailey warned newspaper.
men attending the Harry f. Sin
clair oil trial that publication OF
the deposition taken from Albert
3. Fail, former secretary of Inter
iOr, before it is formally introduced
in the trial would be considered con.
tempt of court.
81 have been told newspaper
has published, or is about to publish
the Fall deposition, Justice Bail
ey said. "In my opinion that would
be contempt of court and if it is
published shall have step. taken to
punish accordingly.
Fall, who was co-defendant with
Sinclair in the first fraud trial last
October, gave deposition at +
Paso recently.

ELTINGE THEATRE

Lon Clancy has played many
roles, sinister, mysterious and other
wise, but for the first time in his
life he is now playing a policeman.
The great character star is cast rs
a plainclothesman on the New York
police force in his latest picture.
"While the City Sleeps" coming tc
the Eltinge for Friday and Saturday.
1t is vivid story of the "inside'
Of the New York police force, in
which Clancy plays a detective who
takes fatherly interest in q young
girl whose "boy friend" is associat-
ing with a dangerous band Of crooks.
These gangsters lead the boy into
a loft robbery, but the detective,
watching over him. saves him at the
last minute and reforms him, so that
the girl will have her lover. Which
is a sacrifice on his part as he, too,
deeply loves the girl.
Dramatic pursuit of crooks. a SEN
sational battle of police and gang
sters with machine guns, a running
battle on the roof Of the city and
the operation of the shadow box
of the New York police are among
the most dramatic highlights Of the
absorbing and powerful story.
