- MORSE DEFENDANT OUTLINES TROUBLES Gays Fleet Corporation De- lays Made Ship Work Difficult. Rupert M. Much, one of the elght defendants in the Morse consplracy trial, resumed today his testimony and outlined the ~difficulties en- countered by the Morses in securing payments of money due them from the Fleet Corporation. He declared that on one occasion when he visited Chief Auditor Overend of the Ship- ping Board to get the weekly pay roll for the men at the yard Overend said it made no difference to him if the company were forced into bank- ruptey. At that time, according to the Virginia company's books the Fleet Corporation was indebted to it in the extent of $1,000,000, the wit- ness stated. Much said he was frequently re- quired to wait outside Mr. Overend's office from 9 o'clock in the morning until late in the afternoon for his pay roll check, when representatives of “other ship concerns were waited on ahead of him The result of these delays, the wit- ness said, was the inability of the company to meet freight charges and the loss mot only of the use of the material but of demurrage. At one time there were 150 cars on the tracks of the Southern railway held on demurrage, asserted. Explains Confession.
