MORSE MEN NOT IN BANKS.
Case Of Witnesses Against Convicted
Banker.

New York, Oct. Though met in
Wall street Thursday with Indignation
and denial, the statement of United
States District Attorney Henry A. Wise
TO the students of the American Insti-
tute OF Banking on Wednesday even
ing that not one of the officers and em-
ployes of the Bank of North America,
who aided in putting into the hands of
the government the evidence on which
Charles w. Morse was sent to fed
eral prison, had since been able to find
employment in any other bank, is borne
out by every such witness who could
be found Thursday. Five of these for
mer employees of the Bank OF North
America were
Alfred II. Curtis, former president of
the bank, now manager for s. II. 7. Pell
& Co, stock brokers.
Walter w. Lee, third vice president,
died of a broken heart, il was said,
after frllitless efforts to obtain work in
a bank or any other congenial work.
L. b. Wire, cashier, now with Tomp-
kins brothers, Newark, N. j., dealers
in masons' supplies; never able TO get
back into a bank.
Adolph Rado, assistant cashier, ap-
piled to every bank OF Importance in
city in vain, and after three years is
still out of employment.
Frank c. Pringle, loan clerk, with As
sets Realization company, 25 Broad
street, but never obtained a place in
a bank
Excepting only the tragic end of Mr..
Lee, the third vice president, the out
standing case seemed to Mr.. Wise TO
be that of Adolph RADIO, the assistant
cashier, who several times, he says, pro-
tested to Mr.. Curtis against the bus
mess he was required to do. He has
not in all the four years since the
Morse prosecution been able to find
steady employment Of any kind.

IDENTIFIED BY GIRL.
Man Who Is Alleged to Have Attacked
Her Yesterday.

Golden Bridge, n. ", Oct. IA man
caught in the woods near here by sher-
ifF's posse late yesterday was identi-
fed by Nora Goad, the l7-year-old
daughter of Joseph Goad, wealthy
farmer, as the foreigner who attacked
her while she was riding bicycle along
the Rock Cut road early yesterday.
Indignation ran so high following the
arrest of the alleged assailant, that he
was hurried away to Jail at White
Plains as a precaution against violence.
The man arrested is Antonio Rosa,
40 years old, who had until Thurs
day been working on the Rock Cut
road.
When brought before the Goad girl
he would make no statement. She de-
clared that she could not be mistaken
that he was the man who attacked her
and left her lying unconscious in a
clump Of bushes.

denee Of the prisoner, was completed
and the arguments were made yesterday
in the trial of Ernest II. Swain in the
supreme court on the charge Of muir
der for the death of Lewis A. Phillips.
The case was expected to be placed in
the hands Of the jury late yesterday

the state in consequence OF the defense
set mp for the respondent, that he
feared for his life when Phillips at
tackled him and was obliged to shoot
him in self-defeuse. An effort was made
to show that Swain did more than was
necessary to defend himself; that there
was an old grudge between the two

Mrs. Anna GibG Of Brooklyn
Street is the Victim
HER CONDITION is CRITICAL
Clothing Caught Fire From Bonfire at
the Rear of Her House, and Her Gar
ments Were Burned Into Fragments
Before She Was Rescued.

Upon hearing screams issuing from
the rear Of her home, 81 Brooklyn street,
early yesterday afternoon, Miss Lottie
Gibbs rushed out Of doors 10 find her
mother, Mrs. Anna Gibbs, running Wild
ly around the backyard, leaving trail
of fire and smoke in her wake The
girl, perceiving that her mothers cloth
ing had become ignited from small
bonfire which burned IN the yard, ran
for a pail OF water, at the same time
calling to Charles Carpenter of West
street, who was looking over some prop
erty in that vicinity at the time. With
considerable difficulty. Mr.. Carpenter
and the girl were able to put out the
fire which threatened the life of thei
half-cTazed woman.
But rescue was not complete, however,
until all of Mrs Gibbs clothing had
been burned to fragments. She was
carried into the house and Drs. w. L. !
Lazell and j. w. Stewart We're called j
to dress the burns. They found the.
woman in grave condition, her reeov-
cry was considered uncertain Hardly
a part Of the body remained unseared,
and in many places the burns penetrat-
ed TO an extremely dangerous depth.
Part of the unfortunate woman's hair
was burned, and the injuries extended
from the head to her shoes. Prompt
measures were adopted 10 relieve her
suffering as much as possible.
just how the accident occurred is not
known Soon after dinner, Mrs. Gibbs
went to the yard and started to kindle
the small bonfire of refuse. 1t is sup
posed that her attention was directed
away from the fire for an instant and
that during this time her skirts became
gnited by a flying brand. In rescuingi
the woman from her perilous predlca-
ment. Miss Lottie Gibbs and Mr.. Car
penter both received painful burns about
the hands. These will not prove Sc
rious
This morning the physician in attend
ance found Mrs. Gibbs in an extreme
ly critical condition. 1t was even
feared that size could not outlive the
day. Particles Of flesh along the wom-
ans limbs have fallen Off and dressing
the burns is rendered difficult for this
reason.
Flames Famed by Woman's Running
Persons who arrived at the Gibbs
home during the accident say that the
woman was almost beyond help inn
mediately after her clothes became ig-
nited. a breeze served only to fan the
flames, while the fact that Mrs. Gibbs
began to run after she realized her pre-
dicament. is responsible to degree for
the progress OF the flames. Had the
rescuers been able to find large rug
or anything Of heavy texture, it is
likely that the fire could have been
subdued before the womans clothing
had been entirely consumed. A physi-
clan and trained nurse are by the wom-
ans bedside constantly.
