Several indictments against Morse
have already been found BY the Fed
eral Grand Jury it is said to-day. Two
OF these indictments are reported 10 be
for over-certitication and a third for
the misrepresentation OF funds. The in
dictment of ansher man who was
concerned with Morse in his trans
actions is expected.
This man, it is said, did not make a
dollar out of his dealings. but was
simply a puppet in Morses hands.
Nevertheless ne will be prosecuted, ac-
oordng TO information given out over
a. the Federal Courts building.
The two indictments against Morse
found by the State courts were for
grand larceny He will be held In $40
wv bail on these TWO charges. The
chances are that United States Dis
rict-Attorney Stimson will insist on
big bail for the ex-banker. In fact, 1t
would not be surprising If much more
would be demanded by the Federal
courts. Whether any one will be will
ins 10 risk this much money on Morse's
promise to appear for trial remains TO
be seen.
