WASHINGTON —(A 3 )— Infor.
motion pointing to a possible
mistrial in the Teapot Dome oil
conspiracy case was taken under
advisement by Justice Siddona
Tuesday after he had been in se
cret conference for three-quartera
of an hour with tho attorneys and
tho defendants.
The conference was invoked by
government counsel who told the
court they had something to pre
sent which gave the prosecution
“grave concern.’* They did not
disclose tho exact nature of this
information tmt indicated that it
involved ono or more of the Ju-
rors.
me case waa adjourned until
Wednesday without Justice Sid*
dons announcing what action ‘ h«
would take on the charges made
by government counsel.
Both Harry F. Sinclair and Al
bert B. Fall were present at the
meeting of judge and counsel in
the court’s private chambers.
Meantime the jury, which has not
been locked up during the trial,
was put under guard In a nearby
room when the justice’s conference
broke ujl, however, and court ad
journed for lunch. Justice Siddons
ordered the jurors be permitted
to go free os usual until the af
ternoon session which later was
canceled.
During the intermission .counsel
and defendants were under orders
from tho judge not to disclose
the nature of the new evidr-ec^
which had caused the x sudden in
terruption of the trial.
Just after court recessed, how
ever, it became known that the
government already had taken
steps to bring to the attention of
a grand jury charges it had pre
sented to Justice Siddons. It was
indicated that several affidavits
have been put before the judge
and that they related to .state
ments attributed to one of the ju
rors, and two to the alleged activ
ities of certain private detectives
In Washington since tho trial be- *
The affidavits, it was Indicated,
would form the basis of the case
which already Is in process of
being presented to the grand jury.
While the grand jury was in
ssion a number of federal
