TESTIMONY
READ At

Full responsibility for the
leasing of the Elk Hills Naval
oil reserve to f. i. Doheny
was saddled today on the
shoulders of a man now dead
by the defense in the bribery
trial of former Secretary of
Interior Albert B. Fall.
Edwin DENLY, former Secretary
Of the Navy, was the man intro
duced to the jury as the guiding
genius in the consummation Of the
lease that developed into A national
scandal and brought about the in
dictment of Fall on A charge of
having accepted 100000 bribe
from Doheny.

conspiracy trial of Fall and Doheny

He also had said that it was he
who became convinced the naval
reserves should he leased, and who
went to President Harding and got
the necessary executive order.
Feared Dynamite"
Prosecutor Owen J. Roberts, how
ever. considerably mitigated the
weight of Denby's testimony by
reading the cross examination,
under which the former Secretary
had developed an almost complete
lapse of memory.
DENLY had been unable to re-
member anything at all about the
lease or it's negotiation.
Also, under questioning by the
prosecution DENLY had admitted
that he told the Navy Council he
had asked the Interior Department
to make the lease because it was
full of dynamite and l wanted
nothing to do with it."
