32 * 5 SONS OF C.W. MORS OUT ON 10000 BAL Five Others Also Give Bail. -Accusations - Against Daugherty Denied. Three sons of Charles W. Morse, New York shipbuilder, and five of the other persons indicted yesterday | afternoon with Morse for alleged con- | spiracy to defraud the United States and the Fleet Corporation, a govern- ' ment agency, appeared today before! the clerk of Criminal Division 1 of the District Supreme Court and gave Dbail of §10,000 each for appearance when called for arraignmen:. Dlorse gave a bond of $50,000 on his re- turn from France last December. Besides the Morse boys, those giv- ing bond today were George M. Burdlu. Nehemiah H. Campuell, W. tt, Leonard D. Christie an:d R. 0 "White. It was expected that Colin H. Livingstone. Rupert M. Much ard Phillip Reinhardt would arrange bail later in the day. United States Attorn. ask an early date for Lhe arraign- ment in court of the twelve nccused. Demurrers are expe-itd to the in- dictments and a lensthv legal battle is looked for. Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and R. H. Yeatman repre- sented the men giving bail. “The indictment, which . is terribly unjust, as will be proven later, I believe was secured because of the per- sonal feeling against me on the part of Attorney General Harry M. Daughegty and certain present officials of United States Sh:pping Board, Mr. Morse declared in a formal statement. “The Attorney General, I have heard. brought every effort to bear to secure the indictment because of a disagreement over lne 1o him when he acted as one of my at- torneys in obtaining myggelease irviu the Atlanta penitentiary® from which } x!hce 1 was released in a dying condi- tio: ‘Although his fee was eventually paid in full, he must have borne ani- mus toward me, and has t;\ken this way and method of 'getting even,' due to his position as Attorney General of the United States at this time. Denies Worthless Check. i One of the charges in the indict- ment was that March 5, 1920, 1 pre-; sented a worthless check for $55.000 to the United States Shipping Board. To prove the falsity of this charge. 1,have in My DOSSess-On u@ CHM cheek for $55,000 dated Maich 5, 1920, which shows that the Shipping Board received this money and that this charge was absolutely false. “I want to say in conclusion that I do not believe the grand jury would have returned an indictment had or my sons or my attorneys been al- lowed to appear before them and testify.” Gordon Scouts Accusation. Maj. Gordon denied the statement of Morse reflecting on the Attorney General. The prosecutor said: “That statement is absolutely false. Neither the Attorney General nor any one connected with the Depart- ment of Justice used any effort, directly or indirectly, to bring about this_indictment or to influence the presentation of the facts upon which it was founded. “The attorney Genersl not only took no part whatever in the return of this indictment, but he uniformly and consistently stated on the two several interviews which I had with him concerning the matter, that he left it entirely to my office, and that Ne did not desire the presentation of the matter, affecting Mr. Morse, to the grand jury unless in my opinion 4 fair and impartial consideration of the facts made a prima facie case of guilt. “Mr. Morse was not ordered back from France by the Attorney Gen- eral, Mr. Daugherty. The Department of State, without any suggestion from the Department of Justice, re- quested the French authorities not to permit Mr. Morse to land at Havre. Then it was that Mr. Morse, own volition, appealed to lhe At- torney General to permit him to remain and return at his convenience. It was not the function of the De- partment of Justice to either inter- cede or interfere with the position which the Department of State had taken in this matter.” Concerning the refusal to permit Morse to go before the grand jury Maj. Gordon said: *Mr. Morse says that the grand jury | would not have returned this indict- ment if he, his sons, and his attorneys had been ‘allowed to appear before the grand jury and testify. It Is common knowledge that the grand jury is not the trial jury, and it is all-sufficient to say that it is not the practice in this jurisdiction to per- mit those accused of a crime to ap- ‘pear before an accusing body and copvert it into a trial jury. “Mr. Morse's insinuation that the ‘witnegses who testified before the grand jury lied is as unwarranted as it is unfortunate.” CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY HERE INTERESTS POPE Pontiff Expresses Admiration for American People and Regret He Cannot Visit America. By the Associated Press. ROME, February 27—Pope Pius today received in farewell audience Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia and the Very Rev. Joseph A.
