There was no connection or col

defendants in the Morse conspiracy
case in fixing the values of the
Morse concerns at Groton, at
Noank and at Alexandria, Va, ac-
cording to Archibald Babcock Hos
sick of the American Appraisal Com
pany of Milwaukee, who had made
q survey of all the plants at the
request of B. G. Higley, an officer
In the United States Steamship
Company, also a Morse concern.
This statement was made in
Criminal Court No. 1 by witness for
the Government. II gave my own
independent judgment. 1t was not
based upon. the Judgment or opinion
of any one else" said the witness
when cross examined.
Explains Valuations.
Hossick yesterday stated that the
value of the Groton plant was
$176,500 and that of the Alexandria
yard $500, 900. Attorney lockwood
wanted to know how he accounted
for the great differences in values.
Witness explained that the land at
Groton required more grading and
preparation to make it adaptable
for shipbailding and other purposes,
which made it more expensive as
compared with the Alexandria con-
Germ. Hossick also said that the
haul at Groton from steel centers
was greater than that at the Vir-
ginia yard. Replying to Attorney
Rockwood's question, witness stated
that his estimate of the properties
in question related merely to the

information with regards to the
bounds of the property. He gave
me the deeds and subsequently,
mailed me other information and
also showed me an agreement with
the Secretary of War concerning
the use of the land.

Company, of Tampa, Villa, who r
regarded as one of the Govern
ment's star witnesses was again
called to the stand for the purpose
of identifying vouchers checks, in
voices and other papers relating to
the shipment of lumber.
In his opening statement to the
jury District Attorney Gordon said
the Government would try to prove
that Morse was to loan Williams
100000, and see that he got credit
for another 100000 in order to
take up certain timber holdings in
Florida, the Williams Company
agreeing to ship lumber to the
Morse yard at Noank to build
twelve hulls. The contract for these
hulls required the Fleet Corpora
ton to pay all in excess of $48 per-
thousand for lumber fob. the Flor
ida mills. The alleged scheme here
was to bill the lumber at $35 per
thousand to the Citrus Lumber
Company, a concern fathered by
the Morses. ship it to the Groton
Works shipyard at Noank and to
try to persuade the Fleet Corpora
tion to pay $3.50 per thousand for
1t, in addition to freightage at
$3.50 per thousand.
