More About Morse.
From Harper's Weekly,

Various contemporaries are disposed
to repine because Charles w. Morse Is
not dying as fast as they think he
should. Because, after being released
az q dying man. he got better and has
now opened an Office in Wal street,
these observers consider that he fooled
the government doctors about his health
and wasn't very sick. and ought not to
have been let out. and wouldn't have
been II he had not been a rich man.
Let us see.
Morse served nearly three years
didn't helm prison. which. for mere
purposes Of punishment and example
was about enough. His sentence. 10
years. was too long to serve. It would
have been a waste Of his time. He
was pretty sick whom he was let out.
but he got better. It Is doubtful wheth-
er he fooled the doctors. Maybe It 10
