FALL CONVICTION
VERDICT UPHELD.
Government Files Brief to
! Sustain Finding in Doheny
Bribery Case.

Y In a printed brief Of 242 pages the
United States through United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover and Atlee Pom
creme, special Gil prosecutor, seeks to
uphold the. conviction of Albert B. Fall
Of New Mexico, former Secretary of the
Interior. The former cabinet officer
was convicted of accepting a bride of
100000 from Edward L. Doheny, oil
magnate of Los Angeles, to influence
the execution of lease to a Doheny
company Of the Elk Hills naval oil re-
serve in California. He is under SEN
tence of one year in jail and fine of
100000. The brief was filed yesterday.
s Hearing Recently Postponed.
& Hearing of the case was recently de-
terred by the appellate court on its own
motion until the January term because
Chief Justice Martin is disqualified and
two new justices are expected to be
named in December.
Z The Government counsel claims that,
although the United States Supreme
Court has since held invalid the order
u President Harding transferring the
naval leases to Secretary Fall, the latter
because he was a de jure officer before
whom an official matter was actually
pending and was acting under color of
authority.
s Defend Jadge Hits Ruling.
& They also Gcc7nd the acton of Justice
William Hitz. who tried the case, in
admitting evidence offered by the Gov
eminent to show that Fall had similar
financial transactions with Harry +.
Sinclair oil magnate of New York, in
reference to the leasing of Teapot Dome
reserve in Wyoming.
Z Denial Is also made Of the contention
q counsel for Fall that the acquital of
the cabinet officer and Doheny In the
Conspiracy trial precfuded the Govern
unent from calling to trial the bribery
charge since the question In the con-
epiracy case was whether the money
was q loan, as claimed by Doheny and
FAN, or bride as claimed by the Gov
eminent and the jury's verdict was in
eject that 1t was loan.
