CURTIS PROTESTED
AGAINST THE LOANS
Determined to Ex0nerate Him
self OF Responsibility With
Charles w. Morse

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-The apparent
determination of Alfred II. Curtis to ex-
onerate himself of all blame respectin 8
the banking transactions for which he
and Charles w. Morse are now under
going trial in the United States dis
trict court here became more defined
today, when under the prompting OF
his attorney Mr.. Curtis produced a let
ter written by him under date of June
10. 1907, and addressed to Morse. in
which he protested vigorously against
the continuance of practices inaugu-
rated by the latter, which in Curtis
opinion constituted grave menace to
the stability of the Bank of North
America. The incident of the over
draft of 100000 by Morse was made
the subject of searching questions by
the witness own attorney. Mr. Curtis
related the coming of f. Augustus
Heinze to him with a request for a
loan of $4,000 and his refusal to grant
the accommodation. Morse remon-
strated with him, saying, Unless we
let them have the money they must go
to the wall.
Curtis stood firm, however, he said.
and retorted: They can not have a
cent of the banks money; if they must
fail, they must fail
But to his amazement, he testified, a
personal check of Charles w. Morse
for s126. 900, drawn to the order of
Heinze. came through the next day.
The check had been honored, although
at the time, the witness said, Morse
had balance to his credit of only
$500.
Il went to Mr.. Morse" the witness
said, "and told him that he must pro-
tect the bank, and at once wipe out his
overdraft. Mr.. Morse went out and
got two boxes of securities and turned
over their contents TO me. l told him
that the securities were insufficient and
he offered to give me an order on
10000 of steamship bonds which
he had on deposit in London. 1 ac-
cepted, and upon being given the order
at once cabled to London to have the
securities held subject to the bank on
the Americas order"
The witness was then turned over to
the attorneys for Morse for what vir-
tually proved to be examination. De-
spite the efforts of Morse's attorneys
to present Curtis in the light of free
agent, who at all times was not under
the control of Morse, the witness per-
sisted in maintaining his contention
that he was but the instrument of an
others will and purpose.
An adjournment was taken until to-
morrow, when Mr.. Curtis will be fur
Their questioned.

BOSTON. Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Claudia Libby
Hams, through one of her counsel.
Frederick L. Norton. today character
lied as forgeries the letters given out
by the lawyers for Captain Hams in
New York. in which are related alleged
drinking orgies at Fort Hamilton in the
absence of her husband In the Philip
pines.
After reading the letters as published
in the New York newspapers Mrs.
Hams called upon Mr.. Norton and asked
him to make a positive denial of their
authenticity. She Indignantly insisted
that she never wrote the letters as they
appeared; that there might have been
certain portions of them that she wrote,
but that things that she did not write
had been added. The Dear Billy"
letter she styles rank fabrication
Norton said:
Mrs Hams has seen the fac smile
of the Dear Billy letter and says it
is pure fake. She says that IL can
not be genuine, particularly In respect
to its not being in harmony with the
alleged confession purportfng to be in
possession of her husbands lawyers"

LETTERS OF A GOOD WIFE
Mrs. Hams New York Attorney
Says Missives Are Harmless
SPECIAL DfsfATCH 40 TIE CALL

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-''There is moth
ing in those letters to excite husband
to murder, jealousy or even anger"
This was the comment today by At
torney Frank G.. Wild of counsel for
Mrs. Peter c. Hams. on the letters made
public by attorneys for her husband
Captain Hams.
Il will not say that the letters from
Mrs. Hams brought out in the Hams
murder trial by the defense are not
authentic, said Mr.. Wild. but what
is there in them that is hurtful to Mrs
Hams or distressing to Mr.. Hams? They
are the natural letters of a good wife
to husband in whom she has con-
fded. If she had not written So the
defense probably could have declared
and with reason, that she had been hid
ing her actions from her husband. The
defense must be in close straits If they
must make use of such material

TSCHAIkOVSkY IS
RELEASED ON BAIL
Russian Reyolutionisst Sends
Thanks to American Friends
for Sympathy

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2s.-After an
imprisonment of II months and days,
Nicholas Tschaikovsky, the Russian
revolutionist, was released this after
noon on $4,000 ball. pending trial. To-
night he is spending a happy evening
with his family and intimate friends.
Tschaikovsky remains under police
surveillance and will. therefore, be I'M
able to go abroad Immediately, as. he
expected. the authorities inserting a
stipulation in his bond that he shall not
leave ST. Petersburg without permits
sion. Authorization, however, has
been granted him to visit his aged
|mother in Kazan province, and he hopes
later to be allowed TO return to Eng
land
The rigors of prison life have ap-
parently made little Impression upon
Tschai<ovsky's physical and mental
condition. When he was seen directly
after his release he dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
Il am deeply touched at the messages
of sympathy which have reached me
time and time again from my American
friends. These show that the world
has not forgotten me during my long
Imprisonment. / realize that this SYM
pathy is more for my country and the
cause than for myself, but / rejoice
that I have furnished the occasion for
such a manifestation of public interest
in Russian liberalism as is evidenced
by the petitions for my release"
Tschaikovsky does not attempt to
conceal the fact that he is member of
the revolutionary party. but he denies
vigorously any criminal activity during
his stay in Russia.
The most serious charge against him
Is that he was at the terrorist conven-
ton in Finland at which a decision to
assassinate Emperor Nicholas was
taken, but Tschaikovsky has produced
proofs that he was in America at the
time.
