Etruria reached quarantine in the
lower bay. held in custody until the
ship was locked and then was whirled
away in an automobile to the home of
Justice Victor Bowling. OF the supreme
court where he gave bond IN the sum
Of $4,000 to answer TO two indictments
charging grand larceny and involving
the sum OF 100000. Mr. Morse was
released and went Immediately 10 his
Fifth avenue home where he gave out
statement asserting his innocence
and asking the public to suspend judg-
ment until he has had the opportunity
OF facing his accusers in court.
Mr.. Morse will appear before Justic,
Downing in open court and plead not
guilty TO the Indictments He denied
that his trip to Europe was a flight"
He said be had gone abroad to sell
stock In large interest and TO secure
fortnight's rest Both purposes were
spoiled by the publication OF reports
that he was a fugitive from justice. he
declared.
The charge against Mr.. Morse grows
out OF a note given to him by former

court OF appeals. Judge O'Brien is
said to have deposited three notes for
800. 900 each with Mr.. Morse in pay
ment for a block of 1000 shares of
stock in the National Bank OF North
America. The notes were to be held
three years and not discounted. accord
ing to Judge O'Brien. and at the end
OF the three year period he was TO have
the privilege of concentrating or with
drawing from the bargain for the pur-
chase OF stock. II is charged that Mr.
Morse discounted one OF these notes at
the Mercantile National bank. In which
he formerly was a director, and that
he represented TO the bank that he
was authorized 20 receive It's check for
the amount OF the loan. II is futher
alleged that the check given TO Mr..
Morse was made payable to Judge
O'Brien and was cashed by Mr.. Morse
at the National Bank OF North Amer
ica-Morse signing Judge O'Brien's
name. Per c. w Morse" II Is the
theory OF the indictment that the
check never having passed into the
hands OF O'Brien or his authorized
agents. its Use by Mr.. Morse consti-
tuted grand larceny from the Mercan-
tile National bank, title never having
passed from that institution.
