Sequalae. The end of Teapot Dome was not quite yet. Oilman Sinclair was still sentenced to a total of nine months in jail for contempt of the U. S. Senate and contempt of court. But public skepticism reached a pitch where his escape from these sentences was regarded as inevitable. Albert Bacon Fall continued under indictment for conspiracy, but Lawyer Roberts of the prosecution, badly outwitted in battle, sorely dispirited in defeat intimated that Fall would never come again to trial. The Senate, continuing its exploration of political aspects of Sinclair's oil career, called him again to testify, but no new suit against him was seen developing.
