BY bHtted Press
WASHINGTON, March ia
special executive session of the Sen
ate Teapot Dome Committee was
called this afternoon by Chairman
Nye to determine what will be done
to check up on the sensational story
given the Nye subcommittee in Chi
cago involving an alleged mysterious
package supposedly intended for a
Washington ID. c. man but mis-
directed to Washington, III.
The testimony is said to have in
dicated the alleged package was sent
by an oil company and intercepted
by a man in Washington, Ill Sub
sequently, a member of the commit
tee admitted that possibly mem
ber, of the judiciary was mentioned
in connection with the case.
Justice F. l.. Siddons, who recently
sentenced Harry Sinclair, oil man,
and others for contempt, denied en-
phatically he knew OF any package
or had received any from a Sinclair
Oil Company official or any one else.
His statement followed publication
Of reports that the committee called
r. L. Siddons, In Chicago, who did
not respond.
Check StOry's Truth
Committee investigators already
have been put to work to check
the accuracy of the story told the
subcommittee. It was learned to-
day they have reported there was
an exchange of communications be-
tween the Sinclair consolidated oil
office in Chicago and a man in
Washington, Ill, concerning the err
roneous address of package which
the Sinclair people had intended to
send to Washington. D. @.
Il must decline to say anything
about the matter now" Nye told
the United Press this afternoon,
because any statement I would
make might involve some wholly
innocent parties. The facts will all
be brought to light, probably, when
we resume hearings Wednesday, and
I do not wish to say anything until
then"
Justice Siddons expressed conf
dence that the Senate committee
will see to it that on Injurious
implications or inferences, injurious
to the court or a member of it, will
receive their sanction without con-
vincing evidence Of their truth"
Witness Identity Secret
The witness at Chicago was in
troduced to the committee by Fed
eral Judge Lucian Malmien.
His name has not been divulged
pending investigation of his story.
If his story checks, he and others
will be called to testify at an open
hearing
No charge was made by Nye or
any member of the committee that
Siddons' name was mentioned.
Rye would not identify the official
accused by the mystery witness,
but said the committee had no
present intention of summoning
Justice Siddons.
