BROKERS ARRESTED
On the Charge Of SwIndllng on a Large
Scale.
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
New York, Dec. SC. w. Morgan,
trading as G. w. Morgan G. Co., stock
brokers, and Morgan's bookkeeper,
Michael Hart, were arrested today on
the charge of conspiracy and grand
larceny.
Detectives also visited the office of
L. q. VanRiper and John B. McKen.
zle, discretionary brokers. VanRiper
and Mckenzie are alleged to have bus
iness relations with Morgan. They
confiscated all the books. 1t is said
that the men did an extensive business
throughout the United States and
Canada. They sent out thousands of
letters each week, some of which told
how easily money is made in Wall
street, others explaining certain deals,
the money to be sent Morgan & Co.
Morgan, who is member of the
consolidated exchange, it is said made
some trancastions which are in. the
records, but made other transactions
which counterbalanced the ones he
made for the benefit of his customers
Morgan, the police say, had various Of
fees throughout the country. The
complainant against the prisoners is
VIM. S. Bailey, mill owner of Matte
wan, N. ]. The police say they have
80 Others who will testify against the
men, and one of the 30 admits having
lost $4,000 through their deals.
When the police entered Morgan )
office to arrest him, they found man
in the office inquiring as to what had
become of his money. The man said
he placed money with brokers and
made 1924 last month. He then left
$500 with the brokers to be traded with
and Tuesday afternoon was told that it
had been used to buy sugar at 1874.
which was the highest figure When
he inquired as to his profits, the man
claims he was informed that sugar
went down" and his money was wiped
out.
Assistant District Attorney Byrne
says the strongest point against the
brokers is the fact thta in their advices
sent out to men who sent them money
some were told that conditions were
favorable and that others were told
the same days that conditions were un-
favorable on the same stocks.

ANOTHER STORM
Plays Sad Havoc Along the New England
Coast.

By Associated Press
Boston, Mass, Dec. 5--Another south
ern storm swept over New England,
leaving death and destruction in its
wake. Just what it ACCOMPLISHED in
New England, particularly along the
coast north of Boston, can be summed
up as follows: Five Gloucester fisher
men drowned; six coasting schooners
completely wrecked; nine vessels
sunk; eight schooners ashore and elev.
en- others more or less injured through
collision and loss of gear.
The usual amount of damage occur
red on hand. Buildings were blown
down, telegraph wires prostrated, and
there were some delays On the railroads
in the northern portion through heavy
SHOWS. While the storm was very Sc
we're along the entire New England
coast, shipping north of this port
seemed to suffer more than that off the
south shore and Cape Cod; in fact, no
wrecks occurred along the latter
dreaded sands.
Salem harbor proved to be a bad
trap for seven or eight sailing craft,
while on the rugged Maine short dash
ed half a dozen other coasters. 1t is
generally believed that incoming YES
sells will add something more to the
news of the storm.

Eldorado, Kas., Dec 5.-Jessie Nor
rison today, for the first time since
her trial began, gave vent to her feel
ings. She sobbed in court when Judge
Redden, one of her attorneys, in plead
ing that the ante-mortem statement of
Mrs. Castle should not be admitted as
evidence, declared that the words of
accusation against the prisoner were
"the concertion of men who sought on
ly to convict an innocent girl"
Later Judge shinh ruled that Mrs.
Castles statement should be placed be-
fore the jury as evidence, but sustain
ed the objections of the defense to GER
tain sentences therein. Among them
were the words, "By my God it is
true the only part of the statement
that the dying woman wrote herself.
However, Judge Shinn decided that the
jury should hear the evidence given yes
teriay as in the manner in which the
statement was made. This made it
necessary to have the Testimony given
yesterday repeated. The case is not
likely to go to the jury before the first
of next week.
