monial discord which has been ex-
plotted so much In the spress OF the
country was told for the first time by
his attorney, Leo j. Doyle.
Mr.. Doyle charged that the activity
OF Mrs. Tucker in the courts was due
to a desire to force her husband TO
give her money or its equivalent. He
said that he spoke for publication
with sincere regret, but that since so
many and such wry accounts OF the
matrimonial differences of the Tuck
ers had been published he felt called
upon to hold brief for the other
side.
He affirmed fatty that the suits
against Colonel Tucker in the munic.
ipal court were not dismissed by Mrs.
fuckers attorney because OF any
scruples against prosecuting a sick
man. but that, on the contrary, the
action was prompted by unwillingness
to face certain revelations. He said
further that during the time that the

session of the United States district
court, Judge Hough presiding, in the
trial of C. w. Morse and A. II. Curtis

banking laws, United States District
Attorney Stimson read a large num-
Der Of letters passing between the
comptroller of the currency and Pres
ident Curtis of the National Bank OF
North America, relative to the banks
loans. The tenor of all the comptrol-
lers letters was that Mr.. Curtis and
the bank were permitting the concern
to be used by its officers and directors
In financing their outside enterprises.
He specifically called attention to .
loan of S1S3,000 to the Hudson Navi-
cation company, another OF $4,000
to the Consolidated Steamship lines
and one of $4,000 to Oakleigh
Thorne, which was discounted by Mr..
Morse. The comptroller said he did
not think these loans were in keeping
with good banking and he said also
JudL Tie Dduh was lOduAIl6 tOO lICSly
on collateral of companies In which
Mr.. Morse was interested. To this Mr..
Curtis replied, according to letter
read by Mr.. Stimson, that the bank
felt its security was ample and that
Mr.. Morse was financially able to pro-
tect any loans he was behind and
called attention to the fact that Mr.
Morse was then neither director nos
an officer of the steamship company
referred to.
The exchange of letters between
| the comptroller and the officers of the
bank continued up to the time OF eht
panic last October. In the last four
| letters which he wrote the comptrol
| ler, in rather curt language, demand.
ed the immediate payment Of some ol

| the amount of securities in the Morse
enterprises which was held as collat
