Morse Conspiracy Denied By Witness in Cross-Examination
Federal witness Higley testified in the Morse case that there was no evidence of a conspiracy to defraud the government or delay shipbuilding. He described his break with Charles W Morse in 1918 and detailed the financial status of Morse concerns in 1917, including loans to himself and the Hudson Navigation Company. The cross-examination touched on involvement with the United States Steamship Company, Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation, and related contracts, with adjournment for a deposition of Joan Barton Payne in Mexico.
