BANKER MUST SERVE TERM
Morse L-ses Anoth " Fight for Re-
Jesse from JAIN


Atlanta, Ga.-Charles w. Morse,
the New York banker, serving a
term in the Federal prison here for
violating the national banking laws,
failed in his effort to obtain his re-
lease on writ of habeas corpus.
Without passing upon the validity
of that portion of Morse's sentence of
15 years beyond 10 years, District
Judge Newman denied the petition
for a writ declaring that ten years of
the sentence unquestionably was
good, and as Morse had not served
out that time the court had no right
now to enter further in the matter.
Morse's attorneys, filed notice of
an appeal to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals of the fifth
circuit.
Judge Newman said that he had
no doubt of the legality of Morse's
confinement in the Atlanta prison,
although it had been erected for
hard labor convicts. He said
Morse might be able to obtain a
transfer to another prison by appli-
cation to the attorney general, but
he believed conditions here were
probably as good, at least, as would
be found in prison elsewhere.

ate investigation of the election Of

Thursday during the examination of
Edward Hines, the Chicago million
aire lumber man, whose name is
connected with the alleged 100000
fund collected to elect Mr.. Lorimer.
Mr.. Hines fatty contradicted many
statements Of previous witnesses,
and the situation aroused Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa.
Nov there ought to be some
prosecutions for perjury right here, !"
he exclaimed. He did not indicate
whom he would have indicted, but
his remark created a profound inn
preston.

Senator Penrose had him exert his
influence to have Mr. Lorimer elected
to the Senate

Mr.. Funk asked for an introduction
to the new senator, and for the privi-
1ege of contributing to his election
expenses.

mentioned the proposed introduction
Mr.. Lorimer objected, because he re-
garded Mr.. Funk as one of his active
enemies. When the Senator explain
ed to Mr.. Hines that he had no cleo
ton expenses to defray, Mr.. Hines
said he decided not to mention Mr..
Funk's offer.
Subsequently, he said, Mr.. Funk
expressed disappointment over the
outcome of his conversation with Mr..
Hines, but continued very cordial,
even asking Mr.. Hines to get him a
seat in the Senate gallery here last
4th of March, and to introduce Mrs.
Funk to Mrs. Hines on one occasion

Mr.. Hines also contradicted in toto
the testimony given by Writ H. Cook,

| During the day Mr.. Hines put into
the record copies of all the kilograms

he declared he never received. He
told the committee that all his per-
