Morse Bank Panic Ties to Ice King Morse and Trust Failures
The narrative covers the panic era of Morse Bank collapses, naming Charles Morse and Charles Barney as central figures. It notes mortgage activity on Morse assets, including Morse’s Fifth Avenue home mortgaged for 350000 dollars, with a prior mortgage of 150000 dollars. Following the Morse bank weakness, the National Bank of North America and the New Amsterdam National Bank suspended operations, leading to receiverships and mergers, with Morse’s Ice Company and the Morse-Dodge divorce case highlighted. It ends with Boston sources about Morse’s elusive whereabouts and lack of current contact for Calvin Austin.
