Says "Padlocking Judges"
 Is Solution to Crime Era

New Haven, March yl (UP) - "Lnpadlocking of our judges" was offered as the solution of the pres ent widespread crime wave by Emory k. Buckner, former United States district attorney, of New York, who spoke at the 37th an- nual banquet of the Yale Law Jorunal.
 While for. 10 years. Buckner said, we have had agitation over the crime wave, there has been no sub stantial movement toward the pad lock off our judges and permitting them with their greater experience and ability to tell juries where they think the truth is, who is lying, and whether in the opinion Of the judge. the defendant has been proven guilty"
 Under our rules in the state courts. and matter of common practice in the federal courts, he sits there padlocked, gagged, muz- zled.' the attorney continued. "The administration of criminal law needs many reforms but unpadlock- Ing our judges would work miracu- lous changes overnight"

FALL ASSERTS OIL
 DEAL WAS HONEST
(Continued From First Pageb

been telling his story of the lease which the government charges he gave Sinclair in exchange for the s233.o 900 in Liberty Bonds, part of which came from the Continental Trading company oil profit bond fund. the former cabinet official has sought to contradict the govern ment's contention and show there was nothing unlawful or unusual about the lease.
 Usual Methods
 Falls story, which will be read in the District Of Columbia supreme court during Ginclair's trial. insists that the lease was negotiated in the usual way, chiefly by his subordi- mates who carried on the deal with J. w. Zevely. representative of Sinclair. Sinclair himself, friends said Fall would testify. did not per- sonally participate in the oil lease until the day it was signed. On that day. April :. 1922. Sinclair and Zevely called at Falls Washington office and when the cabinet officer
 
 receive greater royalty, Sinclair toss cd the lease across the table. deciar- ing: Here is your lease, Mir. Secre- tary, I am done with it."
 However. Sinclair accepted the lease after some discussion.
 During the examination Fall has put into the record all of his orders and correspondence dealing with the oil leases, gone into the inauguration Of the government policy of leasing oil lands to individuals and insisted the payment of Liberty Bends be re- ceived from Sinclair was for one third interest in his Tres Ritos Cat tie and Land Co. The deal on which the sale of the ranch interest was made. was not negotiated until after the oil lease had been signed, Fall has contended.
 If the cross-ex; nination is con- 'inued today, Falls family will de- part with him tomorrow for Cali fornia. Dr. H. T. Stafford. his physi- elan, has ordered him to lower alti- tude, believing that E Paso, S,7s2 feet above sea level. was too high for his patient. The family wishes 10 depart at once for they fear that after the excitement of the examjna- tion which his physician says has kept him up. he may iet down and be unable to leave here for some time.

Littletoa to sever his connection with the oil man.
 Meanwhile. he issued the following statement:
 T have been frequently tempted to say what had In my mind about the ethics of certain senators, and even of the suitability of their positions in the senate but on each occasion I have been restrained by the fact that 1t was none of my busi- ness-a rule which. If followed by senators, would permit them to dis charge their constitutional duties faithfully instead of becoming Med diesome Matties' and scandal mon- gers"
