New York. Nov 9.?In the ?
brought by Jshn W. McKinnon,
agent for the stockholders of ths Na
tional Bank of North America In
New York, against the Continental
Finance Company to recover upon *
note mads by the company to Its
own order and disco anted by the
bank (or the sum of 96Q.OOO, tome,
now light was thrown on tha intrica
cies of the Morse school of ftnanc*
yesterday before Judge Hand and a
Jury In/ the United 8tates Circuit
court.
Counsel for the defendant, J H.
Dougherty, made some interesting
statements in outlining the story of
the note.
Prom his remarks It appears that
Morse was not the sole originator of
the system which resulted in the
downfall of the bank. Moras was
convicted and sentenced for using
the moneys of the bank In the pur
chase of ice and steamship sto&c and
making false entries in its books
to conceal the?e facts from the Comp
troller of the Currency. It appear
ed from Mr. Dougherty' s opening
that Morse was the inheritor and con
tinuer of a system that had Us be
ginning earlier. At that time gen
tlemen of standing and wealth and
politicians of eminence were stock
holders and directors of the bank.
Uefore Morse's time eald Mr Dougli
orty, the hunk appeared to hive In
n csted some of its moneys of dopoa
itors In the purchase 6f lsrge blocks
of railroad and industrial stocks,
some of which they sold ht a prof
it.
Counsel averted that by zssana of
this class of purchases the brr'/, ac
cording to Its reports, in one yoar
I made a dividend of 36 per rent, for
stockholders. He csked tho jury if
: any bank, by the loan of money and_
discount of paper, ever made any
such profit.
He thought that the profits must
J have come from purchases and sales
of railroad and industrial securl
ties.
The testimony of Thomas Sturgia,
President of the Continental Finance
Company, doing a banking business
at No. 25 Broad street, explained
ho'v the bank happened to have the
note of the company for 160.000.
Morse approached Sturgia and others
jot the finance company and asked
I them to go into an ice pool with
! him and some of his friends. They'
I were to give him a check for $7,000,
which would be the only money they
I would have to advance. But as a
I memorandum of their Interest In the
I pool they were to give him a nom
' Inal note for $00,000. This was to
I be considered merely in the light of
| a memorandum and was not to be
I paid. They were to receive and
{transfer to the bank 1,000 shares of
Ice stock. When the pool was
I wound up the notes were to be ac
counted for. having been renewed
from time to time. They understood
'that he was not to discount It,
though no such agreement was*ever
made. a-IjI5!
The note wns made by the com
pany to Jta own order. Soon after it
was Slv,*?T ?(urg1? heard that it was
in the hailds #? ih# Rational Hank
of North ArnenVS itf Vot'V, and
he went over to ss<? Mr. Cu!*tls. the
president of the banh. About it
The oompr.ny was depositor at bank
with understanding it was to ft1* ac
ccuntsd the note and that Mof*# h?.d
understanding that It was to t*<? ac
commodated with loans, and Stmffta
did not want the borrowing ability
of the company at the bank reduced
by the note. -
Curtis assured him that it would
noi b4; and so did Morse. He did
not know then that the bank had dis
coutned the note and that Mora** had
received $60,000 pn it.
In June, 1908, Stufgi? heard ill*.
Morse wa* going abroad. nfii as the
note would mature Jit AUSuvt. he
jv'ent to see Morse ifcfti.'i The lattor
ttfld blM that he coilW rent'.* it then.
In the* mean time a JhOU?u?-j shares
ot icf stock had been |rantf/*rr#tf to
cover the atock. though' the Hfctfnce
company never saw the sloe/*. ^
the note came due In August i> neW
note was sent over by the F'oanc#
Company and ttio old ore *vas ye
tv.rned to them.
The hank went Into the itands p'
a receiver. The receiver fojnd the
pieco of paper in the handaef the
bonk. It is on this paper, which the
Finance Cobpany says was only
memorandum and for which It never
received any return, that the plain
tiff is trying to collect $60,000 with
interost.
