He Was Much Worried.

That Morse was greatly disturbed by
the various moves against him is indicated
by the statement of Thomas T.. Wing. at
torney for the receiver of the National
Bank OF North America, who made affi-
davit that Mr. Morse said to him with
great agitation that he had watched his
securities drop far below par and had
kept almost all of his accounts margined
and good, but that he could not stand It
forever. and did not know what he would
do. Prior to the collapse of the various
enterprises in which he was engaged Mr.
Morse's fortune was estima ted at as high
as $2O.OOO,OOO.
AT the office Of the Consolidated Steam
ship Company it was stated that Mr.. Morse
was at that Office last Friday. He has
not been seen since and it was under
stood last week that it was his intention
then to leave the city.
Albert 3. Boardman, counsel for Mr.
Morse, was at the district attorneys Of
flee today in connection with certain
grand jury proceedings. 1t was not
known whether his presence there was in
relation to the grand lury's investigation
Of banking methods disclosed by the

May Be in Europe.
National Bank Examiner Charles A.
Hanna, who is in charge of the National
Bank of North America. and who brought
suit against Morse for $243,321, announced
| that he was informed that Mr. Morse
had probably gone to Europe or had de-
parted elsewhere for an indefinite period
but Mr.. Hanna was unable to discover
when and by what steamer Mr. Morse
sailed. Mrs. Morse was at her home in
this city, but no information could be
obtained from her.
Albert B. Boardman, attorney for Mr..
Morse, was quoted today as saying Morse
sailed for Europe Saturday on the steam
err Campania. that he will be absent three
weeks for rest, and that he did not
anticipate such crisis in his affairs as
has arisen.
Alfred Braun. former secretary of Mr..
Morse, said he had not seen Morse since
last week.
Judgment Against Him.
So far as could be learned this morning
Mr.. Morse was not a passenger on any
Of the steamships which sailed from this
port this week. 1t would have been pos
sihle. however. for him to have made ar
rangements through friend and to have
sailed without his name appearing on
the steamship companys books.
The action brought by National Bank
Examiner Hanna for $243,321 was to re-
cover the amount of loans alleged to
have been made by the National Bank of
North America last fall as security for
which Mr.. Morse gave his notes to the
bank. The bank went into the hands of
receiver two weeks ago.
X. A. {. Smith yesterday secured a
Judgment for $155.753 against Morse to
cover the value of 500 shares OF bank
stock which Morse had sold to Mr.. Smit h
with the agreement that he would pay
$1JO.OO0 for 1T whenever Mr., Smit h
wanted to return Ii.
Since Mr.. Morse's elimination from the
New York banking situation he has
transacted the most of his business al his
9Th avenue residence. Within the past
ten da.s he has been before the county
grand jury several times to testify con-
corning certain assets of the Provident
Savings Life Assurance Society. which
were deposited with banks with which he
was connected. The federal grand iury.
also. has been investigating the conduct
of those banks.

WATTERSON DENIES
ATTORNEYS STORY
Colonel Declares He Said That
Cleveland Letter Should
Be Discredited
Editor Says He Asked Former
Secretary Carlisle to Vindi-
cate Former President

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 23--In an
swer TO the statement from Dayton, o.,
last might by the attorney for Brough-
ton Brandenberg. that Colonel Wat
terson announced before the Cleveland
letter was published that it must be
discredited by any means, Watterson
said tonight:
Il never heard of the alleged Cleye-
land letter until / read it in the New
York Times OF Sunday. August 80. IL
impressed me at once as fraudulent.
knew that Mr.. Cleveland had never
had any official dealings with Judge
Taft, except in single instance, in
.volving disagreement. l knew that Mr.
Cleveland was in no condition to write
such q letter at or near the date of It's
alleged composition, and I thought l
knew enough of Mr.. Cleyeland's work
ing methods and habits OF mind to
know that he would put forth nothing
so important in such way. The gem
era1 text furnished matter for further
discredit, since it treated of events
which had not come to pass and could
not have been SO confidently antici-
pated by a man as painstaking and
careful as the late president.
Coming to town next day 1 learned
who the literary agent was; that his
screed had been refused as of doubtful
by the New York Herald and the World.
and that the very name of Mr. Cleve-
lands executor was miscalled, it being
Frank S. Hastings and not Frederick
5. Hastings. as it had been printed
..Then went directly to Mr.. Carlisle
and said to him: Mr.. Secretary, Mr..
Cleveland's bitterest enemy would well
come this and could ask nothing worse
to be used against his memory. You
know that I was not Mr. CIeveland's s
enemy-though 1 never claimed to be his
friend-but you are his friend. his
nearest living friend, and you owe it as
a duty to the dead to run this down
and expose it,
Mr.. Carlisle thought with me that
Mr.. Cleveland had written no such let
ter, and felt-though wholly withdrawn
from politics-that it was his duty TO
see justice done to his old chiefs mem
ory.
The next day I left New York and
came home, where l have remained
ever since. urging forward the investi-
cation, though apart from 1t. merely
advising the public of the facts"
