SINCLAIR LAWYER AND BURNS DETECTIVE INVOLVED IN MURDER
PEI ISH DIET DISSOLVED IN .BIG OPPOSITION UPROAR
NEW LEAD SENS PROSECUTION
AFTER DAY AND THOMPSON
IN CHARGE.
WASHINGTON, November 3—(AF)
In an atmosphere of calm which cou
trasted sharply with the excitement
of the last two days of the Fall-Sin- l
clair oil conspiracy trial, the goverl- !
ment today prepared to lay before the !
grand jury the evidence which led ‘o
the dramatic termination of the 2f
forts to place the Teapot Dome case
in the hands of the jury.
With charges that Burns detectives
fn the employee of Harry F. Sinclair
had attempted to gain confact witn
jurors and that one of the jurors had
boasted that he expected material gain
from a verdict in the case, the gov
ernment had already placed testimony
pefore the inquisitorial body in affida
vit form.
Today as a result a new lead de
veloped the prosecution turned tem
porarily irom its plans to have all ‘of |
the jurors, whose dismissal was order- |
ed yesterday, appear for questioning
and turn to others, including Mark
B. Thompson of New Mexico, one cf
the counsel for Albert B. Fall, whos2
lease of the naval oil reserve to Sin
clair, brought about the indictment ot
the two men. Thompson said his ap
pearance had to do with a personal
telephone call to Daniel Jackson and
Assistant Attorney General. Neither
the Fall attorney nor Mr. ' Jackson |
would go further than to say the call ‘
was personal, declaring that to do so
would be in disregard of court proced- |
ure. | . Jackson was not called, buti
said b ¥ ¢y jce that the telephone con- }
versatiox. (ied nothing to do do with
the oil case.
After Thompson had left the grand
jury room, A. Mason Day, vice presi
dent of the Sinclair Exploration Com
pany, and to whom the government
charges the Burns deteetives made re
port on jury activities, was called. On i
yesterday he declared he had refused}
to answer questions on the ground‘
that to do so might incriminate him.
It was indicated that he would later be ,‘
taken before a justice of the suprem(-;
court of the District of Columbia to‘:
repeat his refusal and such a proced- |
ure would in the ordinay course, call
for action, bringing him befere ~g
