THE MORSE TRIAL.
CONTINUED from Page One.)

the trial, showed a disposition to linn
it the closing arguments to two hours
for each side but he finally was moved
by the appeals for more time by coun-
sci for the defence. AS a result a new
precedent will be established in the
United States in this district by the
holding of a term of court on election
day.
1t is expected that Judge Hough will
require fully two hours for his charge
to the jury and that it will be after
noon before the jury retires to delib-
crate on the evidence.
Should any differences of opinion ex-
ist in the minds of the jurors. their
task behind the locked jury room doors
may be a prolonged one. The evidence
which has been submitted in the course
of the long trial includes a mass of
complicated figures which might be
made the basis of almost endless argu-
ment. In any event, it is believed that
'quick" verdict cannot be expected
and that several hours at least will be
consumed by the jurors before they
are ready to make their report.
The federal statutes provide a mini
mum penalty of five years imprison-
HleHI IOF COnNlCIlOn on the charge OF
over-certification and misrepresentation
and maximum penalty of 10 years
imprisonment. There is also the charge
of conspiracy against Mr.. Morse and
Mr.. Curtis and the statutes provide a
penalty of two years Imprisonment
ard u fine of $4,000 on this charge.
Saturdays session of the court was
comparatively a short one.
A big crowd had gathered in the
ccart room in anticipation of the con-
tinuance of the cross examination of
Mr.. Morse. which was begun Friday
afternoon. In this they were disappoint-
ed, as United States District Attorney
Stimson announced unexpectedly at the
opening of court that he had no further
questions to ask Mr. Morse. The de-
PENDANT was permitted to leave the
stand after a further brief examina-
ton in redirect and rebuttal
Mrs. a. II. Curtis the wife of one
of the defendants. and Miss Katie A.
Wilson, private secretary to Mr. Morse.
were among the last witnesses called
by the defence.
Miss Wilson was not questioned at
all with reference to the large loans
made in her name by the National
Bank of North America and the New
Amsterdam Bank.

close as a torchlight procession with
thousands of twinkling lights dancing
above the heads of the marching men.
1t took I hours and IL minutes for tine

grand stand, and it is variously esti-
mated that there were from $4,000 to
5000 men in line, the number probably
being nearer the latter figure.
Vice Presidential Candidate Sherman
was the hero of the parade. He was
ckeered enthusiastically as he rode
near the head of the procession in a
carriage. Rear Admiral G. B. Coghlan,
the grand marshal. was whirled about

"Mr. Carnegie says my selection
would be a tragedy. Mr. Carnegie is
from Scotland and a great lover of
the great Scotch poet Burns, and
Burns says that a man will talk of

that Mr. Carnegie talks Of a tragedy.
for there is tragedy in his life that
he will never forget the tragedy of the
Homestead strike, and he has used the
words with which he is very familiar.
But he must not think that because my
election might prove tragedy TO those
who have their hands in other peoples
pockets that it would therefore be a
tragedy to those who have other per-
sons hands in their pockets.
