Washington, April 19-Despite his
plea of illness, Henry F. Morse must
go to trial next Monday with his two
brothers, Erwin and Benjamin, his
father, Charles w. Morse, and four
other defendants on indictments
charging conspiracy to defraud the
United States in connection with
wartime ship contracts.
This was the decision today of
Justice Stafford in the District of
Columbia supreme court after he had
heard conflicting opinions of physi-
clans as to whether young Morse had
heart trouble. When the doctors
were through the defendant was
called to the stand to describe to the
court symptoms of heart deange-,
ment which he claimed had been
manifest since an attack of influenza
last February.
In overruling the motion of Morses
counsel that their clinet be given a
separate trial at the next session of
the court, Justice Stafford said it
seemed to him, considering delays
already encountered and the ex-
penses involved in such trials. that
young Morse never would be tried if
he were not at this time.
After avoiding service of bench
warrant issued for him last Mon
day because of his continued failure
to appear for trial. Harry Morse
surrendered himself to the court at
noon today and Immediately was
placed under arrest. His bond of
$4,000 previously had been de-
clared forfeited. but Justice Stat
ford said the PENALTY would not be
enforced provided costs of issuing
and endeavoring to serve the bench
warrant were betrayed by the bonds
man. Later the defendant again was
admitted to bail in the same amount.
While the case will not open until
Monday. Justice Stafford decided to
begin the selection of a jury tomor-
row. Counsel in the case estimated
that the trial would require from
one to two months.
Besides Morse and his three sons
the defendants are y. II. Campbell.
