NEW YORK. Ort. M. Evidence was In
irixiurvd today at tiie Joint trial of
Charles V. .Morse, financier, and Alfred
II. Curtis, ex-prrrtde nt of the defunct
National Bank of North America, who are
ctiarjr'r1 with conspiracy and violation of
;ne National banking laws, which made it
af.rear that in the eighteen months be
tween June, and November. 1907, the
Morse. "Ice pool'" boueht and fold stock
of the American Ice I'ompany through 58
brokers and opened 107 accounts, slightly
differentiated as to names, and that the
pool brokers earned commissions during
that period of more than $1,.i0.
Out of a maze of Intricate figures pre
pared by National Bank Examiner Moxey,
who has devoted considerable time to
studying the alleged records of the ice
pool, the lawyers for the prosecution suc
ceeded In drawing this information. Mr.
Moxey was asked to tabulate his figures
and after a recess had been taken to give
him time to do so. the tables 69 In num
ber, or one for each broker were placed
on the records as evidence.
Matched Sales of - Stock.
John W. Gates. Charles M. Schwab.
Isaac Guggenheim and other men well
known In the financial world were Inter
ested In the pool. The transactions of
the pool, aa described by Mr. Moxey,
showed that thousands upon thousands
of shares of the stock were dealt In each
month, but selling and buying, witness
said, was almost entirely done by pools
of brokers. One hundred shares of
vtork. the witness said, would be sold
to one broker by another and then sold
to another broker, and so on, so that
the stock exchange records would Indi
cate that American Ice Company stock
wns in great demand. The price would
naturally go up. Thus It appeared that
In May, l'JOS, liS.O0O shares of Ice stock
had been bought and sold, and In August
of the same year 168,000 shares had been
traded In. Mr. Moxey read his figures
from each of the 50 tabulated sheets and
endeavored to trace the various trans
actions so as to show, the witness as
sorted, that "matched sales" were made.
Gates Deep In Pool.
It was shown by Mr. Moxey's Ht that
the firm of John W. Gates & Co. had
about a doxen accounts with the syn
dicate operating the pool and that other
brokerage houses operated several ac
counts. Thomas Sturgis, president of the
Continental Finance Company. was
railed to tell of his company's account
with the National Bank of North
America. Mr. Stnrgis said that he
first heard of the Ice stock syndicate
In February, 1305. from Mr. Morse;
that Mr. Morse suggested that the Con
tinental Finance Company buy 1000
shares of stock and enter Into the pool.
According to Mr. Sturgls. Mr. Morse
offered the stock for J7.0S0 in cash and
his company's note for the remainder.
The proposition was accepted and lacer,
Mr. Stnrgts said, he learned that the
note had been discounted in a bank In
Mnine.
Tiie witness declared that his com
pany hnd never authorized the National
Hank of North America to sell the Ice
snx-k.
With Mr. Sturgls still on the stand
an adjournment was taken until to
niorrrow. Paid Dents With Profits.
At the morning session W. Oler. presi
de nt of the American Ice Company, to
i'ay resumed his testimony, betun yester
day. Mr. Oler tol.l of two transactions
In this st'H'k in which he hnd ventured
on Morse's promise to "carry" his- ac
count. At tin time the witness was indebted
to the National Bank of North America
and the New Amsterdam Bank, another
Morse Institution. In one of ttiese deals
t'ler gave his note for J4.".o. secured by
shares of stock. This deal was closed
at a profit of $:.. which sum was
credited scainst his iiid"btedness to the
National Bank of North America. Tiie
coml trans.. -Hon was in shares,
and titer's note in ttiis Instance was for

that no one was seen running from the
Itutterworth yard after the shot was
fired.
The hat and umbrella of the dead man
were found by the police within 10
feet of the spot where he fell. The of
ficers believe he was shot at that point
and his ring taken from his finger. He
is then believed to have dragged him
self to his own door.
Sheriff Stevens and Deputy Sheriff
Archie Leonard made an investigation
of the affair Inst night, together with
the coroner. Sheriff Stevens expressed
the belief that the Jeweler was killed
by a hold-up man who bad seen that
his victim wore an expensive diamond
ring.
Strode Was Indicated.
The fact that Butterworth's watch
was not taken Is explained by the sug
gestion that the thug may have been
frightened away by some one passing
on a nearby street. A struggle may
have preceded the shooting, the hat
and umbrella found by the officers In
dicating this.
Mr. Butterworth was highly esteemed
by the people of St. John who scout the
suggestion of suicide. He was popular
In the community and well liked. It is
said his home life was pleasant and
that he would not have any reason to
maVe away with himself. He was
treasurer of the Masonic Lodge at St.
John and stood high in the suburban
city's social circles.
Steps were at once taken by Chief
Black of the St. John police to appre
hend the murderer, j. launch was se
cured to patrol the river in the neigh
borhood of St. John to cut oft the es
cape of the hold-up man. Officers
watched the streecars and other ave
nues of escape and willing citizens
formed a pose to search the nearby
cuu n try.
Came Front Chicago.
Harry T. Butterworth was :tS years old
and cume to Portland froni Chicago two
years ago. He remained in the city only
a stunt time before going to St. John,
where he entered the jewelry business.
He was born in l.a Porte, Ind. His
mothor. Mrs. Mary K. Butterworth. lived

ter. Miss Myrtle Wallace, of Lincoln, 111.,

order, and was treasurer of the St. John
lodge. He also was a member of othr

MORDER
BY NIGHT RIDERS
Captain Rankin Is Hanged
to Tree, Then Body Rid
dled With Bullets.
COUNTRY AT WHITE HEAT
Colonel Taylor Escapes Same Fate
by Jumping Into Bayou Militia
Js Ordered Out 1 0,000
Ileward Offered.
UNION CITY. Tenn., Oct. 20. Eighty
masked night-riders visited Ward's Hotel,
at Walnut Log. l." miles north of here at
midnight last night, ordered the occu
pants out of the building, and then after
lining up the guests on the lawn, seized
and bound Colonel R. Z. Taylor, eged 60,
and Captain Quinten Rankin, both widely
known lawyers of Trenton. With drawn
revolvers the masked men ordered the
rest of the guests into the hotel. Taylor
and Rankin, together with a man named
Powell and a surveyor, were lifted into
saddles and spirited away.
Early this morning a searching parly
found Captain Rankin's body, riddled with
bullets, hanging to a limb of a tree about
a mile from the hotel. Taylor it is be
lieved made his escape by jumping into
a bayou in an unguarded moment end
swimming to the opposite shore. That he
saved his life by a narrow margin is
evidenced from the bullet marks on -the
trees at the point where he Jumped into
the water, and it is probable that he now
lies seriously, if not fatally, wounded in
the thickets where he has' so far escaped
the vigilance of those scouring the coun
try to find some trace of him.
Powell Tells Details.
Powell was the first to give definite
details of the murder and other incidents
connected with the outrage. He had been
staying at the hoel and, when the riders
called all the occupants out and com
pelled them to line p, Powell, Colonel
Taylor, Captain Rankin and the surveyor,
whose name is unknown, were taken
away, the other being permitted to re
turn to their beds.
Proceeding to the edge of Reelfoot
Lake the night-riders pulled out a rope
with which they had provided them
selves and'placed the noose about Cap
tain Rankin's neck. He was strung up
from a limb on the bank of the lake,
for the fishing privileges of which he
had contended with the night-riders.
The masked men then opened fire on
the hanging body riddling it with
bullets.
Colonel Taylor evidently was alive at
this time and witnessed the murder of
his law partner.
Taylor Makes His Escape.
Powell stated that after the killing of
Rankin a vote was taken regarding the
disposition to be made of Taylor. After
a dispute Taylor made a dash and jumped
into the bayou, starting to swim across
it. A number of shots were fired at him and
In the confusion Powell slipped away and
brought back the story of the escape.
Searchers found the trees on the edge
of the bayou clipped by bullets and there
were deep footprints in the mud along
theshore. On the other side of the bayou
there was a single footprint, indicating
that Taylor had got away safely.
Mr. Ward, the manager of the Ward
Hotel at "Walnut Log, telephoned de
tails of the tragedy. He said that
as the attorneys passed into the
front yard, the riders covered them
with their revolvers and before Rankin
and Taylor had an opportunity to retire
they were surrounded and seized. They
were put on horses behind night-riders
and carefully guarded. The night
riders then quietly took up their march
from the hotel, turning down the road
toward Reelfoot Lake. Guests at the
hotel in a few minutes lost the sound
of hoof beats and nothing more was
heard of the fate of the two men until
this morning.
Reward of $10,000 Offered.
Governor Patterson arrived at Hum
boldt during the afternoon and held a
consultation with citizens pf Trenton,
who came down to meet him. He an
nounced that he had offered $10,000 re
