FALL'S ACQUITTAL LEAVES SENATORS IN m SPIRIT Republicans and Democrats Alike Disapprove of Jury’s Verdict. Timet Washington Bureau. 132% New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Dec. 17| —Albert B. Fall’s acquittal at the hands of a jury of non-voting and non-reading District of Columbia boys has not restored him to good standing among his colleagues In the United States Senate. Members of the Senate are bitter over Fall’s acquittal. Few of them were willing to comment publicly on the Fall-Doheny verdict, and not all of them were In full agreement with Senator Heflin’s charges reflecting on the conduct of the case, but the news of acquittal was received with marked disapproval by both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. The Senate inaugurated the investigation of naval oil reserves which culminated in this trial. Senators spent months hearing testimony on it, Including much that has been used in this trial. The Senators know more about the governmental and legal questions involves and the ethics of "loans” to public officials than any other body of men in the country. And the Senate, in effect, voted its opinion two years ago that Fall and Doheny and Fall and Sinclair were guilty of conspiracy to defraud the Government. Members of the Senate called attention to the fact that the Government, in prosecuting this case, had to fight other branches of the Government that were used by defense. While Owen J. Roberts and Atlee B. Pomerene were employed by the United States especially to prosecute the defendants, Postmaster General Harry S. New was called by defense as a character witness for Albert Fall and another Cabinet member, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, materially aided the Fall-Do-heny case by supporting the contention thgj this country was menaced by war on the Pacific at the time the oil storage tanks were planned at Pearl Harbor. A former Cabinet memb/r, Edwin Denby, former Rear Admiral J. K. Robison and H. Foster Bain, former director of the Bureau of Mines, undoubtedly added to the Impression produced by officialdom upon the minds of the young jurors.
