Release of Charles V Morse After Long Legal Battle
Charles V Morse, once commuted by President Taft, faced a 1908 indictment for violating national banking laws over the National Bank of North America. He fought through appeals, bail, and petitions by his wife and supporters, with petitions totaling 700,000 names to Taft and Congress. The pardon efforts failed, and Morse began serving a fifteen year sentence in Atlanta in 1910.
