.LECAL-CRIMINAL
Indictments Awaiting Morse.

Shortly after it was cabled from
England that Charles w. Morse, the
deposed New York banker and trust
promoter, had arrived there and on
receiving message from home had
taken return passage the news came
out that the special grand jury at New
York had begun turning out indict-
ments against Morse. The first two
were for grand larceny in connection
with the sale Of block of stock of
the National Bank of North America
to eX-Justice O'Brien. At the same
time the federal grand jury was TAX
ing q hand in the case and Feb. II
returned indictments charging him
with generalization and misappro-
priation of the funds Of the same bank.
Many other criminal charges were pill
ing up. and it was q question which in
dictments would be first served, state
or federal. Some people doubted that
Morse was really returning.
SIocum Sentence Affirmed.
The conviction OF Captain Van
Schaick of the steamer General Slo-
cum, which burned in New York har-
Dor in 1904 with loss OF 1000 lives,
has been confirmed by the federal
court of appeals, and Van Schaick will
have to begin his ten year sentence of
imprisonment.
Jail Fer Union Officials.
In the state supreme court at New
York Feb. IL Justice Bischoff imposed
fines of %1O0 on two members of
Typographical Union No. and on
three officials Of the union fines Of
$3.50 and twenty days in jail. These
punishments were for contempt Of
court in violating an injunction issued
q year ago restraining the labor union
men from interfering with or intipi-
dating men who had taken the places
of strikers in shops owned by the Ty
pothetac, or employing printers. 1t is
considered certain that the matter will
be carried to the court of appeals.
Tobacco Trust Indicted.
The grand jury of Fayette county,
Ky. has indicted the American Tobac-
~ company VII a Nheil SC Va NOiAGl'llu az
to reduce the price of raw tobacco.
Ohio Trust indictments Void.
The supreme court of Ohio has de-
clarcd void all tho indictments brought
against the bridge trust in Ohio. The
decision is based on the ground of in
definitencss in that the indictments
simply charge the parties with conspir-
acy in restraint of trade without stat
ing the definite times OF violation and
because the law makes each days VIC.
lation n separate offense. and hence
the basis OF separate indictment.
Speaker Cole Exoneratcd.
The Indictment of 1913 counts return
ed last month by the grand jury ut Sa-
lem, Mass. against Speaker Cole of
the house of representatives has been
quashcd by Chief Justice Aiken Of the
superior court. Mr.. Cole was charged
with Il solicitation Of reduced railroad

ton by the court is regarded by his
attorneys as Il complete vindication Of
his course.
