Final Doheny Oil Bribe Trial Debates Over Intent
Washington March 20 Opening final argument in the bribery trial centered on whether Edward J. Doheny bribed Albert B. Fall with 100000 to influence the Elk Hills lease. Doheny denied the money was for influence. Fall was convicted in January on bribery charges, while the defense successfully challenged a key instruction to the jury on intent. Further defense arguments addressed the government's plea form and potential liability for Doheny if intent to influence can be proved.
