IN. I. MR ( ON I 1 MPT < \SE OF LONGEST 1)1 RATION. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. (UP)— The Sinclair-Burns contempt case, al though merely an offshoot of the FallSinclair conspiracy trial, was the longest in duration of judicial hear-1 ing of any of the ‘oil cases’ resulting directly and indirectly from the U. S. Senate's famous Teapot Dome f investigation of four years ago. It was the sixth “oil trial.” Several of the other cases were argued j on appeal several times, however, j and the great number of motions to quash made by the accused men haa ! caused more than a score of important judicial rulings in the cases. The Fall-Sinclair conspiracy trial, resulting directly from the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve lease, started last Oct. 17 and ended prematurely and without decision in a mistrial on Nov. 2. The contempt case started on Dec. 6, and has . nntiimed since, with a two-week recess for Christmas and
New Year.
Senator George W. Norris, Republican, Nebraska, created a sensation in the senate by charging Justice F.' L. Siddons with dilatory tactics and I
„ „ .abuse of judicial power in presiding

' over this case.
The contempt citation was issued i I by Justice Sidd. ns, in response to a | | petition filed by U. S. attorney Peyton Gordon, three weeks after the misti ial. Six men were charged with committing contempt of court in eon- , uection with the shadowing of PallSinclair trial juror- by Burns detec- | lives. The six were: Sinclair, who was charged with employing the detectives with the inti ■ tion of btaining evidence to force ! a mistrial if necessary. William J. Burns, famous detective | and former head of the justice de- ! partment investigation bureau, who furnished the hadowers. Henry Mason Day, vice-president of the Sinclair Exploration Company, who directed the detectives and received their reports. Sheldon Clark, Chicago politician j and vice-president of the Sinclair Refining Company, who aided Day. W. Sherman Burns, son of “W. J." and directing head of the agencyC. L. Veitsch, Baltimore Burn? agency manager, who carried 81,500 in cash from Baltimore to Washingl ton to pay expenses of the jury-shad-
owing detectives.
The case was complicated by a grand jury investigation which took place in the three weeks between the ! mistrial and the contempt citation. Another complicating factor was an adroit defense move which virtually made the office of U. S. Attorney Gordon a defendant in a case inside the contempt case, and also nullified part of the evidence obtained from Edward J. Kidwell, one of the Fall-
Sinclair jurors.
Sinclair’s lawyers charged that Kidwell was coerced by Assistant U. S. Attorney James O’Leary into signing false affidavits. Th* hearing on this charge con-umed three weeks of the trial, at the end of which Justice Siddons, reserving his decision as to O'Leary’s guilt or innocence, threw out the affidavits. The affidavits named two Burns agents, Barton Stewart and Frank J- O’Reilly, as having actually approached and conversed with him during the trial. Lawyers for the Burns defendants barged the 15 detectives who did the jury shadowing were intimidated by
