BOY BORROWED
ENORMOUS sums
Tow-headed Youth Is Star Wit.
ness in Trial of Banker Morse
in Federal Court.
OWED $35O,OOO AT ONE Time
Signed Notes at Direction of Employers;
Youth AstOnishes and Starties
Court.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A t~ow-headed
youth of nineteen, until recently a $l2
1 week clerk in a broker office, was
the star witness yesterday at the trial
in the criminal branch Of the United
States court of Charles w. Morse,
financial man and promoter, who, with
Alfred II. Curtis, former president Of
the National Bank of North America,
is charged with having violated the
national banking laws.
In the testimony of Edward P. MoX-
sy, a government examiner, 1t has
been revealed that a person by the
name of Leslie e. Whiting had been
one of the heaviest borrowers from
he National Bank of North America,
at one time owing the institution as
much as s35O.0O0.
Boy Borrows Big Sums.
There was hardly a week went by
during the year of 1907, the testi-
mony showed, that Whiting did not
borrow 500, 900 or more, giving Ice
stock, principally, as security. 1t al
ways appeared in the records as pre-
sented, however, that the enormous
sums of money borrowed by Whiting
were credited to the account OF
Charles ". Morse.
At the conclusion of Examiner MoX-
ay's testimony, Leslie Whiting was
called to the stand, and those in the
court room who had expected to see
a dignifed, shrewd looking business
man step forward were astonished to
see a smooth-cheeked boy Of under
twenty years walk nervously to the
witness stand. \ smile swept the
room and Judge Hugh raped sharply
for order.
After Whiting had been made to de-
scribe how he had come to sign the
notes which made him indebted to the
bank for such large amounts he was
asked:
Signed Notes for Employers.
Gould you have paid this note I
hold here for $82,000?"
"That-me?" answered the startled
boy. Mono, | couldn't"
Gould you have paid a note for
81, O0O?" asked the attorney for the
prosecution.
NO, sir" responded the boy, a trife
more assured.
For an hour longer the youth was
kept on the stand while a bunch of let
ters. both in the signature OF Leslie e.
Whiting and directed to the National
Bank of North America, were read.
The witness explained in answer to
questions that he had been sent to
the bank by his employers to sign the
notes. He said he knew he was incur.
ring an obligation, but felt sure his
employers would protect the notes.

ATTEMPT TO KILL PRIEST
Priest Knocks Culprit Down, but ne
Makes His Escape by Tramping
Over Children.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-An attempt 10 as
sassinate Rev. J. w. Fielding, pastor
of the Corpus Christi Roman CathoNc
church, was made yesterday AFTER
noon. After twice shooting at the
priest in the Sunday school hallway
of the church, the would-be assassin
knocking down scores of children
standing in his way, ran into the
street and escaped. The shooting and
the screams of the children created
wild excitement in one of ChicaSos
fashionable residence districts.
1t was in the middle Of the after
noon that the. culprit attracted atten'
ton. He had been seen lettering IN
and about the church for some time.
Shoots at Priest.
Aroused by the mans actions, Fa-
Their Fielding approached him, saying,
What are you doing here?"
I'm praying" replied the stranger.
AS the priest turned his back the
stranger stepped into the hallway and
drew a revolver and pressed 1t
against his intended victim. Father
Fielding Immediately showed fight,
knocking the weapon away just in
time to escape a bullet which grazed
his head and clipped a lock of hair
from his temple.
At the same time the priest knock
ed the cuIprit down by a blow on the
face. Hurriedly scrambling to his feet
the nan continued down the hallway,
pushing and trampling over children.
At the bottom Of the stairway he
turned and fired another ineffective
shot at the priest and then still blan-
dishing the revolver ran into the
street. A dozen children, aCcompa-
MED by Father Fielding, ran in pur-
suit and were joined by a crowd Of
enraged citizens, but the man escaped.
Plot to Kill Several Priests.
Information was obtained by the po-
lice late last night which led them to
believe that the wOuld-be assassin was
the same man who for several days
has been lettering su~spiciOusly about
the Church Of the Holy Angels and
about St. Xavier's academy, both of
which are located in the same side OF
the city as Corpus Christi church.
Under the conviction that II or more
men had entered into a conspiracy to
kill not only Father Fielding but 9th
er priests as well, the police have
placed extra watch over these places,
with instructions to question all sus
picious persons.

KILLS MISTRESS AND HIMSELF.
Nebraska Millionaire Telephones Clerk
Something Is Going to Happen"

Something Is Going to Happen"
! err that something terrible is gong to
happen in a few minutes" ~te'ephoned
Sewell Sieuman, a millionaire grain
dealer, to his clerk, just at midnight
Saturday night.
An hour later, when Sieuman was
found. he was lying dead across the
feet of Eva Hart, with whom he was
infatuated, and who was also dead,
each with a bullet hole in the right
temple and the revolver still in Sieu-
| mans hand.
Sieuman was one of the best known
grain men in the West. Besides hay
ing a line of twenty grain elevators in
Nebraska and Iowa, he operated a
line of bucket shops in a number Of
| Western cities and towns, securing
| Chicago board of trade quotations, de.
spite the efforts of that organization
to prevent him doing so. He had been
fighting the Chicago board several
years and the secret of his quotations
| has never been discovered.
Sieuman, who was fifty years old
and had a wife and family from which
he has been separated a few months,
had been infatuated for three years
with Miss Hart, who was twenty-four
years old. Miss Hart lived with her
brother in a home said to have been
furnished by Sieuman.
Evidently Sieuman had shot the
woman, and while waiting for her &c
die wrecked the house, afterward kill
ing himself.
On a table was a note saying that
Miss Hart had turned him down and
he did not care to live without her.
Yesterday it was learned that Miss
Hart had announced her intention tc
break the relations with Sieumar
and leave the city TO lead a better
life. This decision is supposed tt
have brought on the tragedy.
