MOVES FOR A new TRIAL
CHARLES w. MORSE WILL LIKE
LY HAVE TO SERVE 15.YEAR
PRISON SENTENCE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-All the hope
apparently left Charles w. Morse
of escaping a 15-year sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, is that
a notice of motion for a new trial,
filed today with the United States
circuit court, eventually viii lead to
his having another day in court.
Martin W. LittletOn, counsel for
Morse, appeared before the court i'm
mediately upon receipt of the decision
today of the federal supreme court,
denying Morse's application for writ
Of certierari, and gave notice of the
proposed motion.
Under the 40-day stay of sentence
previously granted, ten days remain
in which counsel may seek final
adjudication of the case. Should the
United States circuit court decide
against Mr. Morse, the sentence will
begin on or before December 16. In
the meantime Morse remains in the
Tombs.
While his application was pending
before the highest tribunal at Wash
ington, Mr.. Lift eton obtained an
amendment to the mandate of the cir
cult court of appeals here permitting
the circuit court to entertain mo-
ton by Morse for a new trial on the
ground that the jurors who convicted
him were not properly guarded in the
trial, and that some of them INDUCED
TO excess il intoxicants.
Charles w. Morse was sentenced on
November 6, 1908, to 10 years in the
fedora prison at Atlanta for misap-
D ication Of funds of the National
Bank Of North America. He was re-
leased from the TOmbs last June on
s125.O00 bail, raised chiefly by the eff
forts of his wife among men who still
believed in his ability to recuperate
his finances. Viii e out on bail Morse
is said to have accomplished much
toward gaining control of his former
interests.
When the United States circuit
court of appeals decided against him
two months ago he promptly sur
rendered himself to the authorities
and resumed his life in the city
prison.
Late today Deputy United States
Marshal Kumb visited Morse at the
Tombs and served him with pre- i'm
mary papers in a new suit brought
in the United States circuit court by
T K Rice as trustee in bankruptcy
for the Consolidated Arizona Smelt-
ing company.

This is the first accurate location
OF the violent earthquake shock of
January 90, 1t having been supposed
up to to-day that the, disturbance
had centered in Western Asia, in
Asiatic Russia, or even in the waters
of the Indian ocean. The record
showed that the tremors were prac-
tically of the same force as those
which on December 28 converted the
coast regions Of Sicily and Calabria
into scene Of desolation and ruin.
The province Of Luristan is very
mountainous and sparsely settled. 1t
is about 800 miles southwest of Te-
heran and the only communication
with the Persian capital is by cou-
riers. The inhabitants are chiefly
