Appeal Planned by Oil Magnate in Court Order
Federal court orders Doheny oil leases and Pearl Harbor contracts canceled for fraud and improper transfer of naval reserve control. Judge McCormick finds the $100,000 payment to Albert Fall taints later contracts, noting the satchel delivery and Fall’s influence in negotiations while Denby signs leases without full knowledge. The case brands the Doheny interests as trespassers on U S lands and pits an appeal against the ruling.
