In a two hour night session at the Fall-Doheny oil conspiracy trial, defense counsel Frank J. Hogan alleged the Pearl Harbor naval storage plant plan originated in the navy department. He cited a 1921 Roosevelt letter and a telegram from Secretary Fall authorizing acceptance of the Pan-American Petroleum bid with Denby’s approval. Finney testified that navy and interior department interests overshadowed potential collusion and that Admiral Robison approved the bid after a conference following Am brose’s recommendation. The cross examination, ongoing at 10 p m, covered multiple interior officials present during bid openings and Fall’s lack of bid preference guidance.
