Recess in Fall Sinclair Teapot Dome Trial Extended
The Teapot Dome lease case against former Interior Secretary Albert Fall and Harry Sinclair goes into a Monday recess after two weeks of testimony. Prosecutor Owen Roberts plans to call Robert W. Stewart of Standard Oil Indiana as a final witness on the Continental Trading Company phase. The government seeks evidence of $230,500 in Liberty bonds to Fall and a $25,900 Liberty bond loan in 1923. Charles W. Thomas returns Monday to recount the New York oil chiefs conference and the Humphreys contract for 23,538,333 barrels at $1.50, with sales to Sinclair and Standard at $1.75. The defense presses to test whether the Humphreys contract allowed direct sale to the Sinclair and Standard companies.
