Morse says he's broke in supplementary bankruptcy testimony
New York May 8 Charles W Morse the former banker in Tombs prison for violation of the National banking laws testified in supplementary proceedings. He said his fortune once 40 million has vanished with no stock bond or real estate left. He claimed all property was given to creditors and that proceeds of any sales would go to other creditors, not to him. He noted bank stock was hypothecated across many banks via Mosely & Company and admitted owing Berwind over 1.1 million with 1.9 million of Consolidated Steamship stock and a Fifth Avenue residence given to Berwind, insufficient to cover his debts. He said no family property remained in which he had an interest.
