As printed: Prosecution of Fall, Doheny, Sinclair, Ordered Here
ContextAlbert B. Fall was President Harding's secretary of the interior and leased the Navy's oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, to Harry F. Sinclair and at Elk Hills, California, to Edward L. Doheny. The District Supreme Court is the trial court in Washington; an indictment is a grand jury's formal charge, and the defendants had challenged its validity before trial.
