c. w. MORSE is AT HOME;
SILENT AMID A CROWD

New York, Feb. 9.-Charles w.
Morse, bank wrecker and pardoned
federal convict, came back last night
to the scene of his former triumphs
and his conviction. He was crum-
pied up in a wheel chair, silent and
impressive. With his white-faced
wife at his side Morse was wheeled
through the throngs at the Pennsyl-
vania station and lifted into taxi
cab. Then he was whisked away to
his home at 127 West Fifty-eighth
street, to remain week or ten days
before starting for Bad Nauheim,
Germany, where he hopes to recover
his health. DR.. A. l.. Fowler of At
lanta, Ca, who accompanied Morse,
was asked how the former banker
was.
He is very SICK" was the reply,
"but he stood the trip better than
had expected"
will Mr.. Morse attempt to &c
downtown before he leaves for Ger
many?"
Impossible, said DR.. Fowler.
''Will there be any old friends al
the house to greet him?'
mo one except a little family
party"
Not once did Morse open his lips
during the progress of the wheel
chair from train to taxi. He did moi
raise his head, but sat with hands
limp on the chair arms. Thus he
passed stolidly through the crowd, Z
fur-trimmed overcoat collar partly
shielding his face.
The train from Atlanta, where
Morse served less than two years oil
his l ) year sentence, was more thai
all hour late. Preparations for hi.
detrainment had been made care
fully. A wheel chair was rolled III
with almost automatic precision anc
Morse was quickly installed in it
The police drove back the crowd anC
