uniform.
Morse must abide by rules that gov

cept at stated times, even at his meals.
Still to Fight For Freedom.
He is still full of fight and said to a
reporter shortly before the prison doors
closed on him:
My last words as a free man are to re-
tterate that l am an innocent man. l am
the victim largely of circumstances and
INSCRIPTIONS methods, but the battle is
not yet over. although I have suffered a
heavy defeat.
I shall protest against imprisonment on
the ground that by commitment is illegal.
But this Is more Or less a formal motion.
There are other steps to be taken, and on
these I am raising high hopes. Martin
Littleton. my counsel, will be here in a
day or two, and then we shall discuss in
detail the plans to be pursued.
I detest whining, but in justice to my
self I must say. what every man who is
conversant with affairs in New York
must know. that 1 was the victim of a
clique who feared me. I Incurred their
enmity. and they set about to encompass
my destruction. How they did it is a
matter of history. But I have suffered
reverses before and have survived them.
I shall, I hope, survive this too. But it Is
hard, hard to make myself think this way
at my time of life. I am an old man
now, n fifteen years out of my life-oh,
I cannot believe that it will have to be!
One of his companions recalled the
lines from Oscar Wilde's beautiful
"Ballad of Reading Gaol" running:
"His step seemed light and gay, but
I never saw a man who looked SO
wistfully at the day."

said. "They come straight home.

He was glad when he learned that

wrote them out for him. The lines
