Morse made some weeks ago on behalf of William A, Barber, Stuart G. Gib- boney, Martin J. Gillen, George W. Burditt, William H. Dennis, Maurice M. Q. Purdy and Guy E. Wells, who were jointly indicted with Morse and his three sons and others on a charge of using the mails to defraud in selling stock of the United States Steamship Company Judge Hand said in his opinton that he saw no basis for ordering a sev- erance and no line of division pos- sessing logical merit in the case. Former Federal Attorneys H. Snow- den Marshall and Francis G. Caftey argued that there was a feeling against Morse which would be prej- udicia! to others placed on trial with him. Referring to Gillen, Judge Hand sald: "The overt act alleged against th defendant, Gillen, is apparently inno- cent in itself and may have been per- formed wholly in the course of official duty. The point is that it was a direct representation as to value, and the Government will doubtless seek to show by evidence that it was a de- signed means of effecting the con- spiracy.

Mrs. Fuller said she had recetved the order from one of the men to whom she rented rooms, He in turm reported that he had taken it in a transaction from a ‘George Brown,” and helped to locate the latter.
