Exhibit Tax Returns
Morse Co. Showing
No Income on Business

New York, Oct. 20-(P)-Fletcher
Doblns, special assistant attorney
general prosecuting the governments
case in the Morse trial, today read
to the jury a photostat copy of the
stock tax return of the New York,
Norfolk and Washington Steamship
Company, for 1919, which, he said,
showed that the company had no
income and was mot doing business
although capitalized at $10,000,00O.
The same amount was given as the
value of good will assets of the
company, which was a subsidiary con-
Germ of the Morse interests.
The document was signed by Harry
F. Morse, as president, and y. H.
Campbell as treasurer of the COM
pany. Three sons of Charles w.
Morse. and IA other men, are defen-
dants in the trial, charged with con-
spring to use the mails to defraud
in the sale of stocks of the United
States Steamship Company and other
steamship companies of the Morse
interests.
Wrangling between the prosecution
and defense counsel again halted the
| trial for a period today when the
government sought to introduce the
! names of persons to whom stock in
| the Morse Companies had been
issued. Judge Thacher, who Is pre-
| siding at the trial, after listening &c
| lengthy arguments, upheld the de-
| fense's objection to introduction OF
| the stockholders names until the
government produces the usual stock
| records themselves. The list OF
! names which the government sought
| to introduce was compiled from the
books of the Equitable Trust Com
pany.
; Yesterday Judge Thacher had
| given orders to speed up the trial
which Is expected to last nearly three
| months. Charges that the Morse
/ interests made false financial state
ments of the condition of their com
panies, in order to lure investors
have constituted the highlight of the
trial so far.

Kenneth NJ. Lancaster, 81, of this
city, who has been lost in woods
near Deadwater since last Sunday

the anxiety of the relatives of young
Lancaster caused the change in plans
even though it was raining quite

SALARY OF SHERIFF
EASTMAN ORDERED
PAID BY The COURT

The payment of the salary of the
sheriff of Kennebec county to Sher-
if John NJ. Eastman, which has been
held up since Sheriff Eastman took
office on May 1, was ordered on
Wednesday by Justice Charles j.
Dunn, after a hearing in chambers
on a writ of habeas corpus brought
by Sheriff Eastman against County
Treasurer Bert p. Stuart.
The exact amount involved was not
learned but t is understood that it is
over $4,000 as the salary of the sheriff
also includes the salary of the turn
the county Jail.
This payment has been held up by
County Treasurer Bert p. Stuart,
pending the outcome of the appeal now
before the law court and which was
taken by former Sheriff Henry F.
Cummings. Mr.. Stuart was warned
by attorneys for Mr. Cummings not
to pay the salary to Mr.. Eastman.
and the amount which is due each
month has been held back in order
to protect the county and to protect
the county treasurer and his bond.
Several weeks ago the payment of
bills for the services of the deputies
under Sheriff Eastman was ordered
but this action did not include the
payment of the salary of the sheriff.
Appearing before Justice Dunn were
Attorney B. +. Maher for Mr.. East
man, Attorney Ralph w. Farris for
Mr.. Stuart and County Attorney Frank
Z. Southland for the county.
