FALL'S RECORDS IN CASEJMPORTANT Upon This Depends Prosecution of Teapot Dome Lease Dy Tlio Associated Press. Cheyenne, Wyo., March 14. The Teapot Dome trial came to the close ot its first week yesterday with its followers anxiously awaiting the rul ing of Federal Judge T. Blake Ken nedy on the question of admitting the secrets of Albert Fall's bank ac counts into the records of tho case which will have an Important bear ing on tho government's chain of evidence. ' An attempt was made yesterday by the government to connect Sin clair with the defunct Continental Trading company of Toronto, which Is alleged to have been formed by H. M. Blackmer, and James K. O'Nell, Aemrlcan oil men, with H. S. Osier of Toronto, and Sinclair, to purchase oil for the Sinclair crude oil purchasing company and the Prairie Oil & Gas company and take a profit ot 25 cents a barrel on the supply, which was to have come from A. K. Humphreys, Colorado and .Texas producer. Humphreys testified on cross-examination that Sinclair attended the organization meeting ot tho Cana dian corporation in New York In No vember, 1921, only as a representa tive of the purchasing company bearing his name. If Judge Kennedy sustains tho ob jections of defense counsel that the records are incompetent because they rrove no financial connection between Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, whose Mammoth Oil'company was granted the Teapot Dome lease the government will be practically with out a means of proving that Liberty bonds, once belonging to Sinclair, eventually found their way into Fall's hands. It Judge Kennedy rules that the records are relevant because as Owen J. Roberts, government coun sel contends, they will establish a basis upon which the plaintiff ex pects later to base evidence of con spiracy, much of the stiff fight which has been put up by Sinclair's so called million dollar counsel, will have been 1n vain.
