Sunday Hearing at His Hote snd
Morse Is Released in $20, Bail
~Grand Larceny Is the Charge
Against Him.
New York (Special).—Charles W.
Morse, financier and promoter of
many large combinations, including
the so-called Ice Trust and a merger
of nearly all of the coastwise steam~
ship lines, returned Sunday from his
brief trip of Europe, was arrested in
his stateroom when the steamer
Ptruria reached quarantine in the
fower bay, held in custody until the
ship was docked, and then was whirl-
ed away in an automobile to the
home of Justice Victor Dowling, of
the Supreme Court, where he gave
bond in the sum of §20,000 to answer
to two indictments charging grand
larceny and involving the sum of
$100,000.
Mr. Morse was released and went
immediately to his Fifth Avenue
home, where tonight he gave out a
statement asserting his innocence and
asking the public to suspend judg-
ment until he has had the opportun-
ity of facing his accusers in court.
Mr. Morse will appear before Jus-
tice Dowling in open court and plead
not guilty to the indictments. He
denied that his trip to Europe was a
flight. He said he had gone abroad
to sell stock In a large interest and
to secure a fortnight's rest. Both
purposes was spoiled by the publica-
tion of reports that he was a fugitive
from justice, he declared.
Mr. Morse had received word by
wireless telegraphy that two indict-
ments had been found against him,
but he did not know he was to
suffer physical arrest. The appear-
ance of three detectives from District
Attorney Jerome's office at his state-
room door took him completely by
surprise.

were signed by a surely company,

Morse was required to sign two obli-
with the representatives of the bond-
ing company, was put under oath to
appear at any time his presence may
be required.
Mr. Britt stated that he had re-
guested Mr. Jerome to allow the at-
torneys to produce Mr. Morse in
court Monday, as he said bad been
done in the cases of other well-
known men under indictment, but
had been told that the public interest
ship reached New York waters.
The charge against Mr. Morse
grows out of a note given to him by
former Chief Justice Morgan J.
‘Brien, of the Court of Appeals.
Judge O'Brien is said to have de-
posited three notes for $100,000
each with Mr. Morse in payment for
a block of 1,000 shares of stock in
the National Bank of North America.
The notes wereé to be held three years
and not discounted, according to
Judge O'Brien, and at the end of
the three-year period he was to have
the privilege of consummating or
withdrawing from the bargain for
the purchase of stock.
