BRIDGE DELAY HIT
BY CITIZENS BODY
West End Group Protests
Postponement of Work on
NJ Street Span.

The West End Citizens Association
went on record as protesting against
any further delay in the construction Of
an M street bridge over Rock Creek
at their meeting last night in the West
ern Presbyterian Church, 1911 H street.
This action was the result Of an an
nouncement that the Park and Plan
ming Commission recently has expressed
its disapproval of the steel structure
which is called for under the specifica-
tions of the appropriation bill passed by
Congress July 3. 1926, providing $780,
600 for the project. The Park and
Planning Commission, 1t was said. feels
that a concrete structure should be
erected so as to be in keeping with the
K Street Bridge over Rock Creek. This
would entail a much greater expense.
1t was felt. and the added beauty would
not Justify the delay in providing the
bridge, which the citizens declared to
be Sorely needed.

1t also was pointed out that unless

LIED, OIL
JURY TOLD
Times staff Photo

A "slimy trail' that ran through
a mass of corruption. fraud and
deceit. led UP to the leasing of the
Teapot Dome oil reserve, Prosecu-
tor Owen T. Roberts today told the
Jury that is sitting in the con.
spiracy trial OF Harry F. Sinclair,
millionaire oil man.
Roberts poured shaft after shaft
of ridicule into the defense claim
that Sinclair had not bribed former
Secretary of Interior Albert b. Fail
to secure the lease, and that the
lease was negotiated in an open
and aboVe-board manner. He waxed
indignant over the defense story
that the $233,OO0 in Liberty bonds
Sinclair sent Fall actually were for
the purchase of a third interest In
the Fall ranch.
''Why didn't he pay by check IL
it was a business prOposition?" the
prosecutor demanded. why didn't
he take a receipt for his bonds?
Why didn't he take the stock Ger
tificate that represented that third
interest?
"Lied and Lied and Lied
"No, Sinclair just shoveled the
money in. He had bank roll that
would choke a mule.
'And Fall lied and lied and lied.
Their story Is q lie. 1t is tissue
Of falSehOOds."
The prosecutor referred to Sim
clair as Harry F. Sinclair-the
saviour OF the Navy"
"On this evidence of secrecy alone
(meaning the secrecy about the
seas, 900 transaction) don't you
gentlemen think this deal was
miserable contemplate fraud?"
Roberts demanded.
"Their story's q lie," he shouted.
George Hoover, Sinclair attorney
Jumped to his feet with an objec-
ton, based on the ground that M.
T. Everhart, Falls son-in-law, as
a Government witness, had told that
"story," and couldn't be so i'm
peached by the prosecutor.
Justice Bailey, however, decided
thar RohertS was not then talking
about the ranch purchase alibi, but
rather the story OF the negotiations
leading up to the lease, and per-
mitted Roberts to reiterate his
statement
