Police Puzzled by Statements
of Moran About Having Met
Ruin in Wall Street.
$1,000 WAITING FOR HIM
Injustice Done in His Notes to
Firm With Which He Had
Dealt in Small Way.

Edward J. Moran Of 274 Twelfth
street. Brooklyn, who drowned him
self last Monday night by leaping from
a Staten Island ferryboat after leav-
Ing notes to the editors of New York
newspapers and 10 the District Attor-
uey questioning the honesty of Wall
Street, was by no means penniless. for
he had $1,000 to his credit with the
well known curb house Of E. III. Whit
ing & Co. Of A Broad street, money
he could have got any day by stepping
up to the cashier.
The fact Of a man describing him
self as "a sucker who lost all in Wall
Street" and committing suicide while
a substantial sum to his credit with a
reputable brokerage firm from whose
dealings he had consistently profited
puzzled the police yesterday and they
were inclined to attribute other rea-
sons than Wall Street speculation for
the self drowning.
Inquiry at Whiting & Co. yesterday
by THE NEW York HERALD revealed that
Moran had been client in small way.
having commenced only this year to
trade with the firm. He was an expert
mechanic and toolmaker and had been
out of work for some time. he informed
not shown any signs or depression and
was on the best Of terms with members
of the firm and fellow traders. He told
his acquaintances that he had made
some unfortunate speculations In motor
and tire stocks before placing his modest
trading account with the Whiting firm.
THE newspapers stated this morning
that in Moran's pocket was a letter
from E. Fl. Whiting & Co. calling for
more margins" a member Of the Whit
ing firm said last night "They failed
to state that the letter was written away
back last April. which was the only
time we ever called on Moran for mar
gins At that time his account was put
in good shape and went on to make
profits, so that, at the time of his death,
he had an equity of $1,000 In stocks to
the value Of $2.1o0 which he was carry
ing with this firm"
Every share OF the stock Moran
traded in Is In the vaults OF Z. II.
Whiting G. Co.. and we have requested
the CurD Market AsSOcldtlon 10 rcruti-
nize every transaction which this firm
had for the account Of Moran. and to
check up every certificate of stock which
they were carrying for Moran.
Naturally, r. IT. Whiting & Co. feel
that it Ia unjust as well as unfair to
imply that Moran had suffered through
dealing with us, or that any 'bucketing,
something which this concern never has
or never will engage in, had been going
on. 1t is amazing to us that man
whose affairs. relatively small as they
were. showed sound condition and actual
cash assets OF $1,000 should have taken
his life In that manner and have In
timated that he had been ruined"
