SINCLAIR ENDS PRISON TERM FOR CONTEMPT Oil Magnate Walks Out of Jail Happy and in Good Health. POSES FOR CAMERA MAN Issues Statement Insisting He Was ‘Railroaded’ by Enemies. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD U'nitrd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil magnate and sportsman, walked out of the District of Columbia jail today,

healthy, happy, and still convinced ne was “rail roaded” on charges growing out of the senate Teapot Dome investigation, for which he served almost seven months. “I was railroaded to Jail in violation of common 6ense and com-

mon fairness,” Sinclair said In a formal statement shortly before his release at 12:07 a. m. “The great power and prestige of the government were employed against me under hostile influences and by a campaign unjustly describing me as defiant of law.” Sinclair entered the jail May 6, under sentence to three months for contempt of the senate because he refused to answer questions propounded by its investigating committee. Before his release from this term, he was sentenced to six months more for contempt of court, a charge resulting from jury shadowing activities during his trial with former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall for conspiracy. Loses Little Time Part of the two sentences ran concurrently and Sinclair’s term was shortened further by time allowed for good behavior. He became a free man at midnight and lost little time in quitting his cell, close to the jail pharmacy over which he had presided since his incarceration. Early experience as a druggist, before he struck it rich in the oil fields, fitted him for the work of compounding medicine for the jail physician. Dressed in a neatly pressed pinstripped blue suit, soft gray hat, and highly polished brown shoes, the millionaire paused only long enough in the front office of the jail to bid farewell to Superintendent William Peak, and tell reporters he had nothing to add to his printed statement. Pressed for an amplification. Sinclair said: "No. That’s what got me here.” "Take Yonr Time, Boys” Outside in the prison yard, Sinclair posed patiently for several minutes while still, motion and sound cameras recorded, to the accompanyment of flash light explosions, the scene of his departure from the Jail he has made famous. "Take your time, boys,” Sinclair told the photographers. "It isn’t hurting me any.” He smiled broadly throughout the picture-making ordeal and, when called upon for a talking picture speech, thanked the camera men “for this fine reception.” Except for newspaper men. the crowd outside the jail was small and made ne trouble for the seven policemen detailed to preserve order. After satisfying the photographers, Sinclatr was driven away rapidly, in a closed automobile, in which E. W. Sinclair, his brother, and C. T. Stanford, his personal attorney, were waiting. Thinner, Less Florid They went by an indirect route to the fashioiable Mayflower hotel, where they spent the night. They left today for Sinclair’s Raneocas stock farm at Jobstown, N. Y. Sinclair was thinner and less florid when he emerged from the jail than when he entered fast spring, but appeared in splendid health. Superintendent Peak said he had been exercising regularly with a hand ball. The superintendent made no effort to conceal his relief at Sinclair’s departure. Ever since the oil man became one of the prisoners. jail officials have been criticised intermittently for alleged leniency with him. DOHENY TO SEEK DELAY Government Asks Trial of Oil Man on Jan. 13.
