Albert B. Fall was denied sus-
pni'sion of hta one-year tall term
for accepting a bribe- Justice
Bailey of the District of Colum-
bia supreme court, however, did
not immediately order him to Jail
The justice told Frank Hogan,
Fall’s counsel, that lie would en-
train a motion to add a day to
the sentence, By making the sen-
tence read a year and a day this
would allow the attorney-geueral
to designate the prison in which
the sentence would be served, ob-
viating the necessity for serving
it here aud letting Full serve In
some better climate. Justice Bailey
said he wanted to pass on the
matter next Monday. Hogan said
lie would communicate with Fall
and report soon us possible If
Fall would consent to have a day
added. The government had asked
that Fall start his sentence Im-
mediately. Fall’* counsel claimed

Fall got a year and a $100,000
fine for taking a bribe from E. L.
