Court Brands Fall "Faithless Officer" in Teapot Dome Verdict
The Oct. 10 1927 Supreme Court ruling branded Albert B. Fall a faithless public officer, invalidating the Teapot Dome lease and signaling the collapse of a career from teacher to senator to secretary of the interior. The piece tracks Fall's later life, finances, and ongoing legal battles, including a $100,000 fine, a state prison sentence, and an eviction fight over Tres Ritos ranch as Edward L. Doheny's heirs press claims.
