SINCLAIR
DEFENSE
DAMAGED
Falls Kin Identifies
Mystery Note Found in
Files IL
WRITTEN BY F A L Il
Document Intimates No
Agreement to Sell SIM
clair Part of Ranch.
BY United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, April 17.-Testi.
mony striking at Harry F. sinclair's
defense in his conspiracy trial was
offered at a hearing of the senate
Teapot Dome committee today.
Clarence G. Chase of FL Paso,
Texas, son in law of former Secre-
tarv of Interior Albert B. Fall, tes-
tilted that Fall himself probably
prepared a mysterious unsigned
memorandum found in the commit.
tees files several years ago.
The memorandum appeared in un.
explained manner in the commit.
investigating Falls lease of Teapot
Dome oil reserve to Sinclair and
trying to learn where Fall obtained
enough money to purchase his New
Mexico ranch property.
It described as "joke" the idea
that Fall was to start hunting
lodge with Sinclair at the Three
Rivers, y. NJ, ranch.
In subsequent oil trials, and in
one now under way, Sinclair's de-
fense is that he gave $233,000 Lib
erty bonds to Fall, not as a bribe
for the lease, but to buy one-third
share in the ranch whereon such n
lodge was to be built.
Fall himself has taken similar
position. Therefore, committee men,
bers were surprised at Chase's tes-
timony.
Chase said Fall was the only man
who knew enough of the facts at
the time to prepare such a memor.
! andum.
The memorandum reads in part:
''Mr. Fall, of course, had never
! discussed his purchase or proposed
purchase of this ranch property or
/ any other property with Mr.. SIM
] clair and it should be needless to
! say that he had not attempted to
! secure and did not secure and has
not secured from or through Mr..
! Sinclair any moneys upon this or
! any other account.
Let Sinclair Use Ranch
/ - pom TWO or three occasions,
! iokingly, this house, which was use
less to Fall, was discussed as ideal
for hunting or recreation lodge
! and. Mr.. Sinclair asked if he could
| not invite friends out there if he
would fix the place up at his own
expense so that they could be ac-
commodated.
Mr.. Fall told him he could use
: it whenever he pleased. Mr.. Sinclair
never spent a dollar on it nor has
he ever used it, although once or
twice since that time and subse-
qucnt to what is known as the Tea
pot Dome lease, Mr.. Sinclair and
two or three other parties have been
on the Fall ranch shooting quail and
attempting to shoot and secure tur-
key and other game.
The committee obtained little sig-
nificant evidence from the two 9TH
er witnesses of the day. Thomas w.
Miller, convicted former alien prop
ertv custodian, and Mrs. John L.
Pratt, widow of the late New York
! Republican leader, both said they
knew nothing about Continental
Trading company bonds the commit
tee is tracing.
After these developments the
committee adjourned until tOmor-
/ row.
