News of the World By Associated Press (== DEFENSE OF Tells of Trying to Get Payments From Ship- ping Board in Behalf of Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation Also Describes What He Termed Was Offensive Suggestion Made to Him by Official of Emergency Fleet Corp. | Washington, July 17.—William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury in the cabinet of President Wilson, took the witness stand today in the trlnl‘ of Charles W. Morse and his asso-| clateg, charged with defrauding the government in their war-time ship- building contracts. Mr. McAdoo, called by the defense, was accompanied by Oscar Price, a| treasury official under the Wilson ad- ministration, and L. C. Garnett, a spe- | cial assistant attorney general when| A. Mitchell Palmer was head of the department of justice. Mr. McAdoo was called to testify regarding his relations with the Morse | ghipbuilding firm in 1918, when the| law firm ¢ McAdoo, Franklin and Cotton of New York was counsel for| the Virginia Shipbuilding corp. a Morse subsidiary, building ships for the emergency fleet corp. at Alexan- dria, Va. | Wilton J. Lambert, asgociate coun- sel for the defense, conducted the di- rect examination of Mr. McAdoo. | Entered Case in 1919 The former secretary of the treas- ury testified that be was cailed into| the Morse case in 1019 aftér he had | formed his New York law partnership. Stuart G. Gibboney, counsel for the Virginia Shipbuilding ecorp. at that time, he said, requested him to look into a controversy between the com- pany and the emergency fleet corp. Refore accepting the case, Mr. Me- Adoo said, he caused an investigation to be made into the merits of the controversy and into the personnel of the hoard of directors of the com- pany. “I never was interested in the Vir- ginia Shipbuilding corp. other than as thelr eounsel,” he gald. The witness was allowed to state| that after a conference with his part- ners, the firm became counsel for! the Virginia Co. Directs $100,000 Payment. “We then proceeded to get the case | before the shipping board at Wauh-; ington,” said Mr. McAdoo. "I pre-| sented it first to Edward N. Hurley, former shipping board chairman, by telephone. Mr, Hurley said he would be very glad to give a hearing at an| early date. T told him that we were| advised that the corporation was inj very serfous financial distress because of delay in presenting payments. When 1 stated the financial exigencies | of the company, Mr. Hurley said he was willing to make a small payment on account and that he would direct| payment of $100,000 of these claims.” | General Counsel Hyman of the emergency TFleet Corp. at Philadel- phia, blocked the partial payment of| $100,000, Mr. McAdoo said, on the| ground that the Virginia company's| claim for $1,400,000 was inaceurate.; “Mr. Hyman said,” . the witness added, “that if T would come before | the fleet corporation with my hands | held up exclaiming ‘kamerad’ he| would make the payment as a favor. | “T {ndignantly rejected the pro- | posal."” } On the same day, Mr, McAdoo sald, he wrote a letter to Chairman Hurley | reporting the incident. His letter, he | declared, characterized the offer as a “favor' as ah “offensive and surpris- ing suggestion.” Justice Stafford ad- mitted part of the letter containing this reference, but excluded other | portions. Got $50,000 Mr. McAdoo testified that his firm" took the Virginia company’s case for a fee of $50,000, Counsel went into,other business re- lations of the McAHoo firm with the Morse interests relating to fees on tonnage secured for the United States Transport Co.
