Fall family land deal tied to bonds and loans
M A Everhart testified before the Senate Money Trusts committee that he received 230500 in liberty bonds from Harry F Sinclair in a 1922 deal involving the New Mexican ranch. Bonds were passed through Secretary Fall and a stock reorganization, with Everhart acting as trustee for Sinclair for one third of the new company. Everett said he later handled further payments and sought loans, including a 100000 loan cited by Edward Woheny, as Fall sought to fund the ranch and settle old debts.
