SINCLAIR PETITION
GIVEN TO GORDON
Rover Submits Pleas of Oil
Man and Aloe to Justice
for Recommendation.

United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
today submitted to Justice Peyton Cor
don Of the District of Columbia SUI
preme Court tho application Of Harry
F. Sinclair, oil magnate. OF New York,
and Of Henry Mason Day, one of his
chief assistants, for release from the
District jail, where they are serving
terms of six months and four months,
respectively, for contempt of court in
ing the trial of Sinclair and Albert B.
Fall, former Secretary Of the Interior,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
United States in connection with the
leasing Of the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserve.
Justice Gordon was formerly United
States attorney and led the. prosecution
Of Sinclair and others in the contempt
of-court matter. Mr.. Rover thought
that his recommendation to the Attor-
ney General on the petitions for exec
utive clemency should be accompanied
by that Of the real prosecutor in the
case, although Rover was chief assist
ant when the case was tried.
Both officials declined to discuss the
reasons stated in the applications of
the oil men to be released from further
confinement, but announced they would
forward their recommendations in a
letter to Justice Frederick L. Siddons,
who presided at the trial and imposed
the sentences.
Justice Siddons Is at his Summer
home in Haven. Me, and the applica-
tons Of Sinclair and Day, with the rec
concentrations Of Justice Gordon and
United States Attorney Rover, will be
mailed to him this evening. Justice
Siddons is expected to return the ap-
plication with his Endorsement to Unit ed
States Attorney Rover, who in turn will
transmit the papers to the Attorney
General.
In case Of favorable recommends
ton by the prosecutors and the presid-
ing justice the applications will be laid
before President Hoover by the Depart
ment of Justice.
