Argument Over Booth Case In Capital Court
Washington December 1 Justice Jennings Gailey took wider advisement on the respondents plea for dismissal of indictments returned against Horton K Wheeler of Montana and others charged with conspiring to defraud the United States out of political lands. Following termination of arguments today in the District of Columbia supreme court opposing counsel will submit briefs detailing their contentions in court. Jesse R Foote of Montana counsel for Erwin J Booth former interior department solicitor who was indicted with Wheeler occupying closing hours of the argument asserted Standard Oil has never been a gambler in combatting a point made by government counsel William F Leahy. Leahy declared that if there be no limitations on oil and gas prospecting the United States public might be opened to monopolization. Foote said Standard Oil never spends money for oil prospecting. the company waits until oil is vacated then purchases lands and products, denying any fear of public domain control through gas and oil permit allocations. He insisted his client should not be charged with conspiracy and if so only under section 187 of the Penal Code for alleged misuse of office, while Leahy’s civil-focused argument he said is inapplicable to criminal charges requiring proof of violation of express terms of law and its spirit.
