Mccoy Reappears and
BeStS Jim Stewart


NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-After an alb
sence of four years from the ring,
kid" Mccoy reappeared here tonight
at the National club and easily defeated
Jim Stewart of Brooklyn in six round
bout. McCoy's last ring match was a
20 round decision over Jack Sullivan
at Los Angeles in October. 1904.
Not since the days before the repeal
of the Horton law has such a repre-
sentative gathering of sportingmen
been seen at boxing exhibition in this
anxious to see whether the old Mccoy
had come back or If the Brooklynite
who had heavy weight championship
aspirations could fill the bill.
Mccoy was greeted with cheers as he
jumped into the ring. Stewart seemed
to be terrified from the outset of the
bout and hard left smash to the chin,
which sent him to the floor in the open
ing round, took all the steam out of
him.
Mccoy weighed about 16S pounds,
fully 40 pounds less than the Brooklyn
man. While Mccoy did not look any
thing like his former self, he showed
wonderful ability in footwork and his
sparring and feinting were as clever
as ever.
Mccoy forced the fighting all the way
and in only one round. the fourth, did
Stewart have anything like an even
break. 1t was case of Mccoy every
where with forcing tactics, and the big
man backing away continually. ALL
though the law does not permit of q
decision being rendered. there. can be
no doubt as to who the winner was.

BIG SUMS Lent ON
YOUTHS SIGNATURE
Office Boy Able to Borrow
Thousands From National
Bank of North America
Says He Acted for His En-
pIoyer, Charles w. Morse,
a Promoter (

NEW YORK, Oct. ia tow headed
youth of 10, until recently a s12 a week
clerk in a brokers office. was the star
witness today at the trial in the GRIM
inal branch of the United states court
of Charles w. Morse, financial man and
promoter, who, with Alfred II. Curtis,
former president of the National Bank
of North America. is charged with
breaking the national banking laws.
In the testimony of Edward P.
MoXey, a government bank examiner,
it has been revealed that person
named Leslie E. Whiting had been one
of the heaviest borrowers from the
National Bank of North America, at one
time owing the institution as much as
s310 000 Hardly a week went by in
the year of 1907, the testimony showed,
that Whiting did not borrow 100000
or more. giving ice stock. principally,
as security. 1t always appeared in the
records as presented, however, that the
enormous sums of money borrowed by
Whiting were credited TO the accounts
of Charles w. Morse.
At the conclusion of Examiner
MoXey's testimony Leslie Whiting was
called to the stand, and those in the
courtroom who had expected to see a
dignified. shrewd looking businessman
step forward were astonished to see a
smooth checked boy of under 20 years
walk nervously to the witness stand.
A smile swept over the room, and Judge
Hough raped sharply for order.
After Whiting had been made to de-
scribe how he had come to sign the
notes which made him indebted to the
bank for such large sums he was asked.
Gould you have paid this note /
hold here for $S2 ,000?"
What me?' answered the startled
how "No-no- 7 cOuldn't" I"
Gould you have paid 81 900 noteg'
pressed the attorney for the prosecu-
tion.
mo, sir" responded the boy, a trifie
more assured
For half an hour longer the youth
was kept on the stand, while a bunch
of letters bearing the signature, Leslie
+. Whiting" and directed to the Ma
tional Bank of North America, were
read. These letters, couched in busi-
nesslike terms, gave orders to the bank
for transferring collateral charges and
renewal of notes. A sentence in one
letter read:
Enclosed please find my check for
100000. which apply to my account
The witness explained, in answer to
questions, tht he had been sent to the
bank by his employers to sign the
notes. He said he knew he was in
curing an obligation, but felt sure
his employers would protect the notes.
Whiting testified that he had never
talked with Morse or Curtis concerning
the signing of notes or the putting up
of collateral. The boy also said that he
did not think his employers knew that
he was not of age.
Davidson Brown, another broker
clerk, was also a witness to tell of
having signed the notes for loans for
more than 100000. Brown had a bad
memory and his testimony was of little
value.
