Defendant Out of City Washington, March 31.—Indictment by a federal grand jury here today of Harry F. Sinclair, to whom the government leased the Teapot Dome oil reserve, on contempt charges re sulting from his refusal to testify be fore the senate oil committee, con stituted the first action of the kind to grow out of the senate's Investiga tion of oil leases. The action even tually, It Is believed, may lead to a ruling by the United States supreme court on the authority of congress to develop evidence along lines followed in the present Inquiry Counsel for Sinclair here stated that the oil operator was not In Washing ton, but that It was their belief he would return voluntarily to face the indictment. Ten counts were listed In the Indictment, signed by District At torney Gordon. Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, as special assistants, each referring to specific questions asked Sinclair by Senator Walsh, dem ocrat, Montana, during the oil com mittee's Inquiry. The evidence which Sinclair declined to answer, declaring he would "re serve any evidence" he might be able to furnish for the courts, were de clared by the grand jurors to have been "pertinent to the matters and questions then under Inquiry before the said committee." The Indictment recited at length the oil policy determined upon by congress and declared the senate oil committee wu authorized to inquire into all r banes of the leas ng of tvz-nl oil reserves, which, it was held, was be ing done when Sinclair refused to answer question*. The case had been In the grand Jury's hands only a few days and with the expiration today of the tenure of the present jury, a new panel Is ex pected to be formed, probably some day this week, to receive evidence to be presented by the special oil coun sel regarding alleged criminal phases attached to the oil leases. Section 102 of the revised statutes, under which the Indictment was re turned, provides for both a fine of from $100 to $1,000 and Imprisonment of from one to 12 months In the dis trlct jail.
