Cheyenne, Wyn., March 'Jfv.— Fir ing its last ami avowedly Its biggest sun point blank at the legal armada of the government In the Teapot I in me lease annulment suit, Jhe de fense--Harry F. Sinclair and the Mammoth Oil compan \—ekieed its ease today with the. argument of Martin VV. Littleton, noted attorney, defender of Harry K. Thaw and Truman H. Newberry.

Fluke Kennedy for his consideration and complimenting I counsel for iltc government, Owen J. Roberta and Atlee Pomerene, for "making the most of the govern ment's ease.'’ He thep tore Into *he argument of Roberts, who had con tended mainly t'Jiat the terms of the Teapot lease were incompatible with the terms of the law under which it was permitted. Outers ait Two Points. ^ For one hour and 3d minutes he talked—sometimes iri a conversation al tone and at others in the mentor ian voice of an orator, jlis argu ment was centered on two points in the case. The first was on Ihe con tenllon of the government that if the terms of the lease were enforced in the matter of exchanging crude oil for fuel nil in storage tanks. It would he illegal because It would have suh verted the power of congress In its light to make appropriations of the navy. He further attacked the. gov ernment’s argument that the ex change of crude nil by the navy for fuel oil constituted a sale and that |therefore the proceeds of such sales should, according to law go into the tteasurv of the I’nited States. IJtfleton's second point was oh the principle of law which requires the presumption of good faith in all ^ transactions and It was here that he used oratory. He maintained that the court. In order to stiataln the government s < barge that bonds from Sinclair eventually found their way into the hands of former Secretary of the Interior AH*ert R. Fall, would have (o assume'' a connection he | tween Fall and the Continental Trading company, and then “infer" that any honds Fall may have re < elved Which had been held at one time hv Sinclair, had some wrongM! connection with the leasing of Teapot ' Dome. Case Finds Today. Littleton criticized the government , for "coming into this court ssklng - equity and then failing to do equity.' i referring to Ihe failure of the plain-1 i tiff to introduce the testimony nf Rear Admiral J.

The fate of the prosecution rest entirely on admission in evidence of such statements, since in no other fashion may the crime be fastened on the Lawrence brothers. Babe Lawrence, heavily handcuffed, was removed from the court room to day following granting of separate trials to the two brothers. A pair of handcuffs, which the state will Haim belonged to the slain offi-i cer, may form the chief link In the evidence against the Lawrence Voth-i ers.

Karl Birkenhead, secretary of stale for India, and one of the most bril liant intellects In the country, has lens to uttPr this aphorism today re garding l he Dennistoun case. The case |s pot yet terminated, the Jury' still considering, at the instance of Justice McCardie, a number of points in dispute, hut lyird Birkenhead is In dignant at the evidence tendered re garding Sir John Cowans, "Odlus stipulations and debasing in ducements have been placed in the mouth of Sir John Cowan." he says, referring to the allegations that the great quartermaster general pur i hased Mrs. Dorothy Dennistoun at the price of soft jobs for her hus band. "Those of us who were his friends I now that whatever his faults may ha\e been, he was simply incapable of using her. No one attended or could have attended the trial in his interest and none of the parties car ed * brass farthing about his reputa tion.

At l'/j cents a cup, the cost of Coffee is only 1 2ft or 1 4ft or even 1 SO of the total cost of your average meal at home.
