NEW YORK, Oct. 17.---That loans Of
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars IN
which Carles w. Morse was interested
were made upon authorization Of
President Curtis OF the National Bank
of North America, on f.tice stock
which the, assistant cashier did not re.
gard as adequate collateral that
some Of this collateral was withdrawn
from the bank . vaults from time to
time by employees Of Morse before the
loans had been satisfied and that the
assistant cashier sought to absolve
himself Of responsibility for these
loans BY affaxing President Curtis ini-I
tials to the entries in the banks loan.
books, was some of the evidence at to-
Gays session Of the trial Of Charles
w. Morse and H. Curtis, IN New York.
Today's only witness was Adolph
Rado, formerly assistant cashier OF the
defunct National Bank Of North Amer
lea of which Curtis was president and
Morse the principal stockholder. He
seemed 9 willing witness and describ-
ed transactions involving Leslie e..
Whiting, the youthful brokerage clerk,
who was revealed yesterday as the
borrower Of various sums Of money
and Of other loans in which "ice" and
copper" stocks figured as collateral.
Rado said that he was not So much
concerned about collateral pledges to-
secure the Whiting loans because he
understood that '.Mr. Morse, multi
millionaire" was personally behind the
loans. He said he considered that Mr.
Morse was behind the "ice'' notes and
speculations and he always regarded
him as very wealthy man.
