Government Acts 10 Seize $100000 in Property of Missing Oil Man
Washington November 16 Justice Siddons ordered United States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder to seize $100000 of property belonging to Harry M Blackmer, a key witness in the Teapot Dome conspiracy who refused to testify. Blackmer, cited to appear January 6, faces contempt of court charges for failing to respond to a subpoena served in France. He was linked to the Continental Trading company involved in tracing $230,500 in Liberty bonds to Albert B. Fall and M. T. Everhart, amid a broader probe into Teapot Dome ties. The order signals a looming legal fight as indictments may follow after grand jury work and testimony by District Attorney Peyton Gordon.
