BANKER, ON STAND, WILL SEEK TO PUT BLAME UPON
 FORMER AIDS.
FEVER WATCHED THE LOANS
Former Director Testifies Wall Street Could Not Exist If Deals Like Those 9ared Were Not of
 Daily Occurrence.

New York, Oct. 30-When Charles ". Morse took the stand in the United States circuit court late Thurs day afternoon in his own defense, his opening statements made it clear that he intended to shift the burden of the blame for the collapse of the National bank of North America to the shoul- ders of Alfred II. Curtis, it's former president. Morse pleaded that he knew nothing of banking laws and that he never looked at the loan sheet but had relied on the bank officials to keep everything straight.
 When asked by District Attorney Simpson his opinion of the overdraft by Morse at the Bank of North Amer lea and the loan made by the bank to cover the overhaul, Col. R. NJ. Thomp- son, former director of the bank, said: Why, MT Snmson, Wall street could not exist if leans of that character were not of almost daily occurrence. There is not broker in New York who does not overdraw his bank account every day.
 Declaration of War.
 Practically declaration of open war between Charles w. Morse and Alfred II. Csrtis came Thursday in their trial for violation of the Fed eral banking laws.
 Mores's counsel to offset the effect of a warning letter, Curtis declares was written by himself and read by Morse on June II. 19O7 introduced letter written by Morse to E. E. Wire, cashier of the bank of North America, which practically contradicts testi- mony given by Curtis.
 Curtis had sworn that Morse was urged to increase his collateral for loan of $40,000.
 But didn't he" said United States District Attorney Stimson, instead of increasing that collateral, withdraw 900 of the 2,500 shares of the United Copper which the bank already held as security ?'
 T never heard of that" said Cur tis with emphasis.
 
 repudiated that s400O0 loan?'
 No" said Curtis, And then came the Morse letter to Wire. which read:
 Il do not owe this S40.000, l will never pay it and I will thank you to transfer my collateral to my loan of $2702SS The rank had no right to l place il with any loan.
 Curtis recalled that he had heard something of Norse's action, but de clared it had slipped his memory.
 To show that Morse was the real, dominant factor in the National Bank of North America and that much was done therein of which Curtis had no knowledge, Curtis went into the $12G0O0 loan of \. F. Heinze, which he said despite his refusal to accommodate was paid practically "cYer his head" by F. B Wire on | Morse's personal check.
 Tn this connection Curtis flatly de ntid the sworn testimony of Wire who swore that Curtis had been in. formed of the Morse action before Heinze received the cash Morse S overdraft to give Heinze this accom- mediation was the one which prompt ed Curtis 10 declare:
