Banker In Prison Asks No Mercy and
Graves No Sympathy at the
Hands Of the Judges Of
the Court.
NO CRIME COMMITTED
Declares That He Did no Wrong But
Left the Bank Stronger Than
When He First Went
Into II.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Charles
Morse wants no mercy and Graves no
sympathy and asks at the hands of
the judges of the United States cir
cult court of appeals only Justice
There has been too much talk of
sympathy, too much made of the fac.
that his fortune was wiped out. II
the appellate court believes he com
mitted crime, he was properly con-
victed and ready to take the punish
ment He does not ask it to be miti-
gated. This was the message Morse
sent from his cell in the tombs to
the court today, delivered by Attorney
Martin w. Littleton, Morse's wife and
son.
Littleton argued that no real crime
was committed, and that Morse left
the bank Of North America stronger
than he found it. He insisted in re-
cording the proceedings in the lower
courts as full Of error and pointed
out why Morse believed he should be
granted new trial.
Mrs. Morse was cast down When In
| formed that Special Acting Attorney
General Stimson had refused to ac.
3cede to the application that Morse
4 be admitted to bail. She frightened
when Littleton told her to have every
4 hope that the court would grant thu
relief desired even over the protest o.
Stimson. Littleton bitterly attached

nounced Morse editorially in their
news columns These newspapers, "
he said tch acterized Morse as a
most grotesque figure, accused him OF
acts he had been incapable of perform.
ing and held Morse up to public scorn. =
4 Littleton made a lengthy legal ar
gument on the points involved. He
traced the connection of Morse ano
Alfred HI. Curtis with the bank Of
America and declared that the lower
court had erred in permitting his con
viction, when they permitted the con
solidation Of the three indictments re
| turned against Morse.
/ Littleton's argument lasted unit!
noon. Afterwards. Stimson presented
the governments case. He spoke
mostly on legal phases and insisted
that the evidence showed Morse and
4 Curtis had used the banks funds fol
speculation. Stimson declared that
Morse, after quarreling with Richard
L. Edwards, president of the bank
bought the control Of the majority O
the stock and ousted Edwards, who
/ was "too conservative to suit him."

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 14.-It was
expected that the special committee
OF nine, considering the nomination
of officers of the National Charities
and Correction conference, will make
report at the general sessitn this
evening. At the opening session they
held a discussion of publicity and in
formation as functions of charitable

were held this morning.
Speaking before sectional meeting
on immigration, Gino Speranza, attor-
ney to the consul general of italy,
New York, made sweeping charge
that all foreigners including immi-
grants intending to make the United
States their home, were Disseminated
against in American courts. He
claimed that the United States dis
eliminates between the citizens and
prospective citizens by classifying
immigrants into desirable and unde-
sirables, He says the courts should
not do 1t.

! Association, cited the need for a fed
eral bureau of information about char
liable and social activities at the ma
tional charities correction conference.
ANY part of lack of interest in any
| line of the social world" said he,
"has been due to the fact, that our
social information is damned up and
not allowed to reach the public. One
state should know the laws under
which various state boards of char
tiles work, and the result is accomp
/ lished. 1t is just as important for the
government to report methods helping
weaker citizens, as to spend 100000
