Missing Oil Witness Blackmer On Trial In DC
The March 8 trial in Washington pits H. M. Blackmer the missing Teapot Dome witness against a motion to dismiss. Nathan R. Miller testified the Walsh Act used to subpoena him in Paris was unconstitutional as Blackmer faced contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy case. If he loses, $100,000 in Liberty Bonds forfeited under the 1926 act would be forfeited.
