Morse explained that he had been called
into the case to ascertain who had been
selling the stock short and unloading
on the pool. When asked who were
members Of the pool, he said:
Several gentlemen and brokers"
That is as far as he got, and this
was the other point at which the visitors
laugh. Mr.. Morses testimony in. regard
to the Hooking pool was largely ancient
history. He testified, however. that this
stock was being washed.
