his acts have brought upon innocent

In the Morse ease, Mr.. Taft said in
part:
Charles w. Morse was convicted of
misapplieation of funds of the National
Bank of North America and of making
false entries in the books of the bank
and its reports to the comptroller of the.
currency. ON appeal to the circuit court
of appeals his conviction on the false
entry charge was affirmed
although his conviction technically
was on false entries. there is no doubt
as to what the evidence showed gen
orally, to wit, that Morse was engaged

the maintenance of the price of Ger

tai Importance to him, and he pro-
cured control of this particular bank
and other banks for the purpose of do
ing the specific thing mentioned which
was essential to the success of his
speculations. The result of his oper-
atoms WAS severe losses to the bank
which forced ii into liquidation.
"Mr. Morse exhibited the same
fraudulent and criminal disregard Of
the trust imposed upon him in the ex-
ercise of the control over the bank as
Walsh aid. Indeed, the methods taken
by Morse tend to show that more
keenly than Walsh did he realize the
evil of what he was doing and resort
to more subtle methods to accomplish
and conceal them.

The verdict sentencing Earl Gil

This was the opinion delivered un-

the circuit court, in his courtroom.
Judge Lea doesn't look like a mon
ster. In appearance he is a grand
fatherly sort OF person.
