DIRECTORS DENY
MORSE'S CHARGES
CLAIM THEY NEVER AUTHORIZED
HoNoRlNe OF Owe RDRAFTs
BY BANKS OFFICIAL.
DAYS SESSION SENSATIONAL
Counsel for Morse and Curtis Differed
Sharply During Proceeding,
In Regard to Banks
Affairs.

New York, Oct. 27.--After the ad
mission of testimony by John W.
Gates, ex-Judge Morgan O'Brien
Charles. NJ Schwab, John H. FlagleI
and William +. Hayemeyer, to the eff
feet that as directors of the National
Bank of North America they had never
authorized the honoring of overdrafts
by Charles W. Morse, the vice presi
dent of the bank, and had never know
of the existence of such practice, the
prosecution late Monday rested its
case In the United States court here
against the former banker and pro.
moter and his acknowledgements A. II
Curtis, who are being tried for alleged
violation Of the national, banking laws.
The days session furnished num-
ber of sensations, not the least OF
which being the declaration by w. w.
Lee, former vice president of the
bank, that on the day of the institu.
tions collapse, Curtis, the president
had said to him: Il have just told
Morse that he has busted the bank
Mr. Lee was questioned at length con.
corning the happenings behind the
evening hours of October 16, 1907, the
day of the collapse. After the ac.
counts of the days transactions had
been closed, IL was discovered, Mr..
Lee testified, that Mr. Morse had over.
drawn his account $211 900. In order
to make good this deficiency, Morse
had turned into the bank quantity of
securities, for the most part stocks
and bonds not listed on the stock ex.
change and of doubtful value, as col
lateral for a loan of $2ll 900. This
loan the directors repudiated on the
following day, the collateral put up by
Morse being found unsatisfactory.
Testimony intended to show the
dominating influence exercised over
the National Bank of North America
by Morse was given by W. A. Nash,
president of the Corn Exchange bank
and a member of the clearing house
committee. Mr.. Nash, IT appears, in.
formed Curtis of the intention of the
clearing house committee TO examine
the Bank of North America. II took
Mr.. Curtis aside" testified Mr., Nash,
rand asked him IL the bank was all
right. He waved his hand towards
Morse and replied: II he is all right,
the bank is all right"
Z 1t was noticed during the proceed
ings Monday that counsel for Morse
and counsel for Curtis differed sharply
at times regarding their respective
principals part IN the affairs of the
bank.
Mr.. Wire told Mr.. Olcott that neither
Mr. Curtis nor Mr.. Morse had ever
instructed him to make improper or
wrong entries in the comptroller's re-
ports. Mr. Wire said he knew the
loans to Dawson Brown of $4,000
was really an obligation of Mrs. Kath-
crime Gelshenen and that she used the
proceeds to deal In ice stocks and got
the profits thereon.
II came out that other loans were
made by the bank for speculation in
Ice stock, and that while profits were
credited TO the borrowers some of the
losses were charged against the bank.

Matter of Naval Honor.

A naval officer and friend were
strolling down Broadway one after
noon recently. The former glanced
in at pawnshop window and sudden
ly stopped. 'Hello!" he exclaimed
there is a naval academy class ring
He went into the shop and asked to
see the ring. There could be no doubt
about it, it was a ring belonging to a
member of class which graduated
some years ago. The officer bought
the ring and put it in his pocket.
why, what can you want with that
ring?" asked his friend "is it's owner
a particular friend of yours?"
The officer said he was not and
then explained that it had always been
a custom of the naval service for any
naval officer to redeem naval acad-
envy class ring whenever he saw one
and send it back to its owner, who, OF
course, makes good the loan at his
earliest convenience.
"That is why said the officer, smil
ingly, 'pawnshop keepers are always
anxious to lend money on our class
rings, and that is also one reason why
a naval officer will never pawn his
class ring until the worst comes to
the worst. New York Tribune.
