Taking up a $25,000 transfer of Liberty Bonds made by Sinclair to Fall after the latter’s retirement from tue Cabinet in 1922, Roberts said those bonds were the same kind as those that went to Ever- hart. Concluding his 20-minute state- companies and one of Sinclair’s being drained by that land was weus around it. “That was the purpose of the visit,” Littleton thundered, “It had nothing to do with Teapot Dome.” At that point Justice Siddons adjourned court until tomorrow, Jury Not to Be Locked Up. District Attorney Gordon said Pp: 'y today that the jury would not be 'ocked up as was the case during the trial of Fall and Ed ment to the jury, Roberts declarel tr-t the Government would show | that the “secrecy, private dealing ‘gd favoritism” in the lease of ap t Dome “spells a conspiracy ty defraud the Government.” All of this, he said, was intended as a corrupt and improper over- ruling of what was right for the Government “by an agreement be- tween a private citizen and a pub- lic official.” Outline of the Defense. Then Litileton said the defense would show that there was no re- quirement that Fall lease Teapot Dome under competitive bids for the reserve, and declared also that By the Associated Press HORTA, Island of Fayal, Azores, Oct. 18.—Ruth Elder sailed early this morning for Lisbon aboard the Portuguese mailboat Lima with the cheers of a great crowd of spec- tators, whose hearts she had com- pletely won, ringing in her ears With her sailed George W. Hil deman, her co-pilot on thejr trans- Atlantic venture in the monoplane “American Girl,” and the two waved a vigorous farewell as the mailboat crept away from the city bathed iy a brilliant moonlight. The last view of the American aviatrix, who had captivated her hosts by her spontaneity and de- mocracy, was the picture of a tiny figure aboard the Lima waving hands, blowing kisses and made more jaunty than ever by Capt. Goos’ hat poised on her wind- tossed curls. Jokes Over Lost Luggage. “Has my luggage gone below?” was the first question she asked as she boarded the ship and the crowd laughed at the quip. knowing the clothes she had on—plus fours and red sweater included—were all that she had been able to rescue from her plane. Miss Elder and Capt. Haldeman had tea yesterday:at the home of her host, George MacKay, the guests including the British Consul! at Maderia and Horta.

After a quiet din- ner in private, the flyers boarded the Lima. Miss Elder had donned her flying togs-—-they had been in the wash—and boarded the ship with a lovely bouquet of pink lilies. The deck of the Lima had been @ scene of eager expectation for many hours before and a larg~ crowd had gathered which broke into applause when Miss Elder came up the gangway. The two American flyers were soon sur- rounded by autograph seekers and complied willing enough with re- quests for their signatures. The captain of the Lima shook hands with his two unexpected passengers and expressed pleasure at receiv- ing them. The admiring crowd at length -Wwas reluctantly pressed. toward the gangway and stood on the pier cheering as the vessel moved out to sea. General expressions of ad- -miration for Miss Elder followed the departure of the ship. spec- tators calling her the “sweetest girl” and declaring she seemed un- spoiled by admiration, perfectly democratic toward every one and possessed of charming wit. Dances Charleston on Wall. Horta, during the visit of ‘he American aviatrix. witnessed one incident that gave proof of Miss Elder’s nerve when she danced the Charleston with a handsome En- glishman on the walb of the ver- anda of the Mackay House, de- spite the fact that the wall rises above the harbor below. The crew of the Junker plane D1230 last night decided to post- pone their hr pof’ for the United States until tonight. A heavy swell! in the harbor last night made a takeoff unwise.
