...Ford Sinclair and friends had shadowed the petit jury which was trying him for criminal conspiracy, and the further evidence that Detective William J. Burns and aides had perjured themselves in an effort to impugn U. S. agents for jury-tampering (TIME, Oct. 31 et seq.). But the involved Fall-Sinclair oil scandals were not altogether without further lucubrations last week...
Fish v. Hogan. One purple patch shone forth in a side-argument between Lawyer Frank J. Hogan of Washington, D. C. and U. S. Representative Hamilton Fish of New York. Mr. Hogan, attorney for Edward L. Doheny in the Fall-Doheny phases of the oil lease litigation, heard that Representative Fish had publicly listed jury-tampering among Dr. Doheny's doings. Since Mr. Doheny has yet another trial to stand, Lawyer Hogan remonstrated with Representative Fish lest his client be further misunderstood by the public. Representative Fish denied having cast upon Mr. Doheny any aspersions in addition to those...
Blackmer's Bonds. For refusing to return to the U. S. from France to testify in the Fall-Sinclair trial, Harry M.

This fall the Sun scattered football writers everywhere: on the Pacific, in the Middle West, Southwest, South, Missouri Valley, and throughout the East; 129 elevens were examined...
JEREMY AT CRALE-Hugh Walpole -Doran ($2). There are two categories into which this book might fall: the small and high-grade category of Hugh Walpole's previous writing or the large category of the Rollo Boys at Haddon Hall. Unfortunately it falls mostly into the second. Jeremy, who engrossed Mr. Walpole's attention quite frequently when he was small and individual, is now of schoolboy age and character. In his football playing, fighting, friendships, difficulties, he is no longer so engrossing, no longer individual. Here and there Author Walpole makes an opportunity to show his accustomed insight...
