New York. Oct. 27.-Anothcr stage was
reached Tuesday in the trial of Charles
W. Morse and Alfred II. Curtis on tie
charge of violating the national banking
laws and conspiracy, before Judge II"uSh
in the criminal branch of the United
States circuit court here. The pros"cu-
ton having rested its case Monday when
the usual motion for the dismissal of the
Indictment was made and denied it be-
came Tuesday morning the turn of the
defence to have it's day in court and great
interest was manifested in advance as to
the evidence to be presented. That both
Mr. Morse and Mr.. Curtis would take
the stand in their own defence ana in de-
fence of each other was taken generally
for granted Watchers at the trial who
took notice of little tilt Monday be
tween Former Judge W. NJ. X Olcott,
who is defending Curtis. and Former
Cong. Charles f. Littlefield. who is in
charge of counsel looking after the inter-
ests of Morse, however, thought it indi-
Gated that the defence would be split. \
joint prosecution, it has been pointed out /.
does not obviate separate procedures in
defence in several particulars and both
separate openings and separate SunmingS
up, consequently, We're expected.
After Judge Housh had passed upon the
jurors to dismiss portions of the indict-
ment Former Judge Olcott began an ar
gnlment in behalf of Mr.. Curtis. He con-
tended that many of the counts in the
Indictment should not apply to Mr.. Cur
tis at all, but his application to have
them lifted from Mr.. Curtis was denied by
the court. 1t was expected that N1r. Nc
Farlane will make the opening address
in behalf of Mr.. Morse this afternoon.
In opening the case for Mr.. Morse, At
torncy Ncl'ariane paid his respects to the
accountants of the government. Their eN
aminatinns and deductions had always
been given II slant toward the govern
ment's charges. They were as blind as a
mule to any differences that might have
been favorable to the defence or explain
ed the actions of the defendants
you have heard the governments al
legations and now has come the time for
YOU to hear the defendants explanations

cent they really are" the lawyer said.
