Howard Coonley, vice predsient of the fleet corporation In charge of adm tration, testified today as a witness for the prosecution at the trial before Justice Stafford and a Jury in_Criminal Division 1 of| Charles W. Morse, his three sons and four others, charged with conspiracy te defraud the government and the fieet corporation through wartime contracts. Acting on the solicitation of two of the sons of Morse, Mr. Coonley said he made certain advances or loans to the Morse companies until he found out that the legal department of the fleet corporation was unable to se- cure a promised mortgage on cer- taln ships belonging to Morse, when he stopped further loan: Mr. Coonley said it was early in January, 1919, that he was visited at the offices of the fleet corporation in Philadelphia by Benjamin W, Morse and Erwin A. Morse, who were seek- ing a loan of $750,000. 'The Morses offered as collateral a second mort- | gage on the Alexandria plant and & mortgage on three ships owned by them. The witness said he recelved the application favorably. and because o ondition’ of the Vir- Einia - company's fnan advanced $150,000 January 10, 1919, taking & =econd mortgage on the plant for se- curity. The fleet corporation held a first “mortgage of $i50,000 on the plant, it was stated. Unable to Get Mortgage. February 21, 1919, Mr. Coonley said, he advanced $100,000 more to the Virginia company and $150,000 to Groton, still expecting to get the mortgage on the ships. It was late in March when he learned from the legal department of the fleet cor- poration that it had not been able to get the ship mortgage. ~ The jurors substituted miniature coats in licu of the usual flower to- day because of Flag day. Lawyer Testifien. Chester W. Cuthell, a lawyer of New York, who was formerly general counsel for the Lmergency Fleet Corporation, testified at the Morse trial that Charles W. Morse had told nim_ the action of the government in commandeering steamers owned by the United States Steamship Com- pany had disrupted his plans for financing _the shipyards at Alex- andria, Va., and Groton, Conn. Mr. Morse said, the witness stated, that he had expected to use these ships as for financing. . Cuthell, who was called as a government witness, testified also | that Morse had mplained of delays by the Fleet ¢ poration In making rogress payvments and loss of time n obtaining materials because of transportation difiiculties and orders and resulations of the war industries pecial government war Complaint also was made, 1he witness continued, that the gov- ent was not paying for the ships deered.
