TEAPOT DOME STORY.
Doomed Oil Magnate Wants To Tell. DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENT. (Received 10.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, March 21. Senator Walsh called a special meeting of the Senate Teapot Dome Committee upon the receipt of a dispatch from El Paso, Texas, in which Mr. H. B. Fall, who acted in conjunction with Mr. Sinclair in the oil lease scandals, announced that he was ready to tell the whole Teapot Dome story when the doctors informed him that he had only six or seven months more to live. Mr. Walsh said the sub-committee would probably be immediately authorised to go to Texas to take Mr. Fall's testimony.
Mr. Fall said: "I have never been a liar, but I was never in a position yet where I could go on the witness stand and tell the whole story and every word of it. I want the public to know my story."
