Virginia Bonds Tied to Morse Debts at Trial
In the Morse trial, prosecutors contend a $2,000,000 Virginia Shipbuilding bond issue was used as collateral to settle debts of Morse concerns, with $600,000 aiding Groton Iron Works, $200,000 for cargo claims against Huron, and other allocations to Morse accounts and related firms. Witnesses outline bond distributions and pledges to banks and creditors to support the government’s case.
