leges New Yorker, Repre-
senting Himself as Niece's
Fiance, Got Securities

Sheriff Knott received writ Of at
tachment yesterday issued in Syracuse
by Justice Crouch, of the Supreme
Court, against the property Of Robert
Morris in an action brought by Mrs.
Jennie Nixon, of Syracuse, who is
suing for the return Of securities and
money she says she intrusted to
Morris.
Mrs. Nixon alleged that, between
May 1 and July ID last, Morris told
her he was engaged to marry her niece
in New York. She says he said he was
broker and fnancier at 81 Broadway,
had more than $1,0OO000 stock in the
Hotel Lorraine and the Commonwealth
Hotel Company.
All of this, it is alleged. was prelimi-
nary to a suggestion by Morris to Mrs
Nixon that it was "crime and shame
that she should invest her money in
Liberty bonds, mortgages and stocks
that brought her only small returns
Mrs. Nixon says he suggested that if
she would turn over some of these to
him he would invest in securities that
paid large returns. Mrs. Nixon says
she turned over $33,500 in securities
and cash to Morris. She got back only
$685., she alleges.
Upon investigation, Mrs. Nixon al
leges, she learned that the representa-
tions Of Morris were false. She is

crime" he declared, meant nothing, al
though should a specific charge fof
crime, based on evidence, be made
against any one in his office, he offered
to turn the inquiry into such charges
over to the Attorney General, whose
services the jury unsuccessfully sought
Until such specific charge is made
the District Attorney announced. he
would continue to perform all duties
imposed upon him by the law.
Mr.. Swami sent copy of his let
ter to Governor Smith. to Mr.. Pros
kauer, informing the lawyer that it
stated his (Swanns) position fully
This was the District Attorneys re-
ply to both written and oral requests
made of him by Mr.. Proskauer for
assurances that u special staff Of as
sistants would be provided if he un-
dertook direction of the inquiry
Mr.. Proskauer said he was consid-
ering the situation. His acceptance
unless Mr.. Swami alters his stand, is
considered doubtful. 1t was reported
that Mr.. Proskauer had put the stua-
tion up to Governor Smith, who is ex-
pected to move next.
In reply to Mr.. Swann's insistence
that there was no more work for the
jury and it should be discharged, Mr.
Almirall defended the jury's work and
said its inquiry would take time.
