The unsworn testimony of Sinclair
before the Senate Teapot Dome COM
mittee on october 90. 1923. was read to
the jury yesterday afternoon by the
Government for the purpose of showing
that Sinclair valued the Teapot Dome
lease at about $10o.000,o 900 at the time
it was granted him. In furtherance
of this line of proof, the Government
produced the minutes of the board of
directors of the Sinclair Consolidated
Corporation. under date of September
%, 1922, which showed the board had
before 1t proposal by Sinclair to ex-
change certain shares of Mammoth
Oil Co. stock for the Consolidated
Co. securities. The Mammoth Co.
was organized to operate the Teapot
Dome lease and virtually all of its
stock was held by Sinclair personally.
The offer, which was accepted by the
ConSoItdated. was Tor the exchange OF
500, 500 shares of "A" stock and 800
shares of b" stock In the Mammoth
Co. for 250,000 shares of Sinclair Con-
solidated. This gave the Sinclair Con-
solidated one-fourth interest in the

was estimated to have a capacity of
$50 ,000, 900 barrels of OIL
That provision of the lease which
called for the building of a pipe line

about heading their cars north in win
