NEW TOUK, Oct. 11 A tow headed
youth of nineteen, until recently ft III clerk
In a. broker' office, was the tar witness
today at the trial, In the criminal branch
of the United States court, of Charles W.
Morse, financial man and promoter, who,
with Alfred If, Curtis, former president
of the National Bank of North America,
Is charged with bavins; violated the Na-
tlonal banking; law. In the testimony of
Tidward Moxey, government bank exam
iner, it was revealed that a person by the
name of Leslie F. Whiting had been one of
the heaviest borrowers from the National
Bank of North America, at one time owing
M10.000. There waa hardly ft week went
by In the year of 1907, the testimony
showed, that Wilting did not borrow J100,
WK or more, giving ice stock principally,
as security. It also appeared in the rec
ords however, aa enormous sums borrowed
by Whiting were credited to the ftcoount
of Charles W. Morse. At the conclusion of
Examiner Moxey- testimony Leslie Whit
Ing was called to the stand and those In
the court room who had expected to see
a dignified, shrewd looking business man
step forward, were astonished to see
smooth-cheek boy of under twenty years
walk nervously to the witness stand. A
smile swept the room and Judge Hough
rapped sharply for order.
Hoy Inminy oa Stand.
After Whiting had been made to describe
bow he had come to sign the notes which
made him Indebted to the bank for such
large sums he waa asked:
"Could you have paid this note I" hold
here for $S2,(T0?"
i "What,, me?" answered the startled boy,
"No no, I couldn't."
"Could you have paid ft $1,000 note?"
preaaed the attorney for the prosecution.
"No. sir." responded ths boy, ft trifle
more assured.
Kor half an hour longer the youth was
kept on the stand while ft bunch of letters
bearing the signature "Leslie F. Whiting'
and directed to the National Bank of North
America, were read. These letters, couched
In business-like terms, gave orders to the
bank for transferring collateral, charges
Hnd renewals of notes, A sentence In one
letter read:
"Enclosed please find my check for $200,
WO, which apply to my account"
The witness explained In answer to ques
tions that he had been sent to the bank by
his employers to sign the notes. He said
he knew he was Incurring an obligation
bjt felt sure his employers would protect
the notes. Whiting testified that he had
never talked with Mr. Morse or Mr. Curtis
concerning the signing of notes or the put
ting up of collateral. The boy also said
that he did not think his employer knew
that he was not of age.
Clerk's Memory Poor.
Davison Brown, another broker's clerk
was also a witness to tell of having signed
notes for loans for more than $100,000.
. Brown had a bad memory add his test!
inony was of little value.
The afternoon session was almost entirely
devoted to tracing the loans made in the
name of Whiting. Bank Examiner Moxey
startci with loans mado In June of last
. year and showed how the loans were re
peatedly renewed. It was brought out that
it one time the bank made ft profit of
1132.000 on the loans, but the profit was. oa
paper only, Mr. Moxey said. This test!
iiony led; up to the - testimony' of Young
Whiting. After Whiting had testified the
:ase was1 adjourned for the day. The trla
will be resumed tomorrow, a most unusual
oroceedlng. for not in twenty-five years,
U Is said, has a federal tribunal here held
oexsion on Saturday.
The Jury was kept under guard tonight.
