Teapot Dome case wins stay on Wyoming lease
The U S Court of Appeals ordered cancellation of the Mammoth Oil lease on Teapot Dome lands after ruling the deal was tainted by favoritism and corruption. The decision faults former Secretary Fall for accepting a pecuniary benefit from Harry F Sinclair and asserts Fall influenced Navy leasing actions. The ruling directs lower courts to enjoin trespass and seek a full accounting of oil taken during the lease.
