probably be asked to describe his ex-

tell a great deal will tell no more than
Richard Croker, John b. Sexton and

witnesses for the prosecution.
Deal in Bank Stock.
The bulk OF yesterdays testimony had
10 do with the coup whereby Morse,
operating through his stenoErapher,
Miss Kate Wilson. and his pet brokers.
Primrose K braun. quietly accumulated

own bank-the National Bank Of North
.America-and then hsd the debt trans
Herred to the New Amsterdam by ono
of those feats OF financial legerdeinaini
OF when ne was the acknowledged
master. The second chapter of this

tending to show the inner workings OF
dne Morse system, is yet to come out. ,
Evidence will he offered to show that

An AllurIng Bait.
He knew, he said. where there was
ibiock of stock to he had at 800, II the
I'VE men would make their notes for
amounts aggrcgating sl29.ill. he would
see that this stock was distributed
among Them at 800 He would promise
thHt they got 800 when the time came to
sell to the trust company,
Without exception the FIVE men
Jumped at the chance. 1t will be the
lain OF 'he Government lawyers toprOve
that Morse was really the owner Of this
stock, that he sold to the men who
trusted him at 2D. whereas he had
bought It as low as POI, and that no
such deal as he described was contem-
p.a'ed ty any trust company.
There Is documentary evidence now
IN hand to show that the unlucky five
rave their notes and that the stock
ftId IN the New Amsterdam was trans
fc:rtd from Kate Wilson and allotted
70 them. Then the smash came, and
ro-' the receiver for the New Amster-
dam has judgments against them for
the amounts of their several notes. This
may help to explain why some OF
Morse's former associates and employees
have been willing to testify against him.

winners in Morse's first ice pool. He
