Harry F. Sinclair, imprisoned oil magnate, said today that his petition for clemency which was denied yesterday by President Hoover had not been based upon ill health but upon the claim that he was sentenced for doing something not prohibited by statute or rule of court. Sinclair's statement was accompanied by one from his business associate, Henry Mason Day, who with him, was sentenced for jury shadowing In the Sinclair trial for conspiracy in securing the Teapot Dome oil leases. Day also asserted that Jury shadowing had not heretofore been construed as contempt of court. After stating that his health was "as good as could be expected, under the circumstances," Sinclair said that "observation of a Jury only became contempt of court when I engaged in it." He then vigorously attached the statement of Attorney General Mitchell recommending a denial of commita-tion, declaring that it could be summed up to mean that I should remain in Jail because I was acquitted of an alleged offense for which he feels I should have been convicted." "I am Imprisoned," Sinclair said, "not for having committed any crime defined by law, not for having violated any rule theretofore established, by the court, but because I cause a jury that was trying me for an alleged conspiracy against the government to be kept under surveillance.

For this I was Judged in contempt. No member of the Jury was -approached by operatives in my employ nor were they molested in any way nor were they even conscious that they were being observed and they so testified."
