Morse had at. least $1,000,000 safely placed iu a London bank just prev ious to the failure of the Mank of North America. This was in American Ice Company stock, and the fact that Morse had it where It -could not be touched unless ho desired, developed during the tes timony of Cashier Wise, who included the $1,000,000 of securities in Lon don in a list which Morse offered when additional collateral was de manded by Curtis on Morse's loans' Whether Mr. Morse had any more than this $1,000,000 in London was not 'developed; and it was not shown whether this stick was withdrawn from the 'London hank." The defense has .intimated that Morse will go on the stand In his own defense. If ho does an effort will be made to force him to tell what securities he had In foreign banks and whether, when he went abroad, previous to his arrest, lit was not for the purpose of getting those securities so that he could meet his creditors. .
