Denby Barred From Testifying In Sinclair Trial
The government won a key point as Edwin Denby former secretary of the navy was barred from testifying for the defense in the Sinclair case. The defense sought to prove the Teapot Dome lease plan originated in the navy, but the objection prevailed since Denby had no direct involvement with Fall or the charged conspiracy. Captain J K Robison testified the lease decision came from Denby directing the reserve be leased as a unit, but Robison later said Fall handled actual negotiations.
