Jury' Tlmo l Saturday. An Interesting point of law has been auici-ted which, if Invoked by either tha tat or tha defense, win oirecuy Involve the continuation of tha Wilde trial. It la an Oregon statute fixing: ih. IcK-ai life of a Jury regularly Im paneled. It provides expressly that the aerrlces of a Jury shall not extend beyond the term of court for which It was sssetnbled and that no petit Juror can be recuired to serve mors than four weeks. The Jury senring on the present term of court and from which the Wild Jury was drawn was Impan eled for the term of court wmcn ex pires text Saturday. Under the con struction of the statute referred to the iif of the lurr expires then. v-nr. nt th firs circuit Judges will exDresa an opinion as to his lnterpre tatlon of the statute. It Is not known bow the law la regarded by counsel for ths prosecution In the Wilde case, but lawyers for the defense said yesterday that thuT had not given the subject sufficient thought to Inquire into It. Other States Uowa Technicality. The Question haa not been raised In this state, so far as several prominent lawyers who were Intervlwed on tne subject were advised, but the concensus of opinion among lawyers is that a Jury having been Impaneled In a case would continue In service) until the par ticular case it was called upon to de termine had been disposed of. even though the trial of the case extended over two or more monthly terms of court. This has been the Interpreta tion placed by the courts In other states having similar statutory provisions on the subject. Morris was on the witness stand all day yesterday. His Brat direct exam ination by Mr. Clara, special prose cutor, was not concluded until 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning, when the ex-caahler was turned over to Daa J. Ualarkey. chief of counsel for the de fense. Morris mads a good witness for ths prosecution and told a fairly well-connected story of his relations with Wldle In the) telephone bond sale to the Oregon Trust, by which It la al leged the bank was defrauded of 0.- utf. Morris) Co art ra4 lets Self. When turned over to Mr. Malarkey Morrta suffered. The cross-examlna-tloa by counsel for the defense was both vigorous and exacting. It delved Into his record prior to coming to Port land In 1104. Including a number of al leged Irregular transactions. The net result of the day's work was that Mor ris, when court adjourned with his cross-examination not completed, had contradicted himself on two or three material facts brought out In his direct examination. la the morning session Morris testi fied that shortly sfter the Oregon Trust suspended he exchanged four f 1000 tel ephone bonds with Kecelver Devlin for 1,000 stock in the Union Telephone Construction Company. He said he had one of these $1000 bonds with htm. the others being In a safe deposit box In Peat tie. and that be borrowed from Wilde the use of three other bonds to conclude the exchange, later delivering to Wilde three other bonds of the same denomination to oover the loan. On cross-examination in the afternoon Morris repudiated his former testimony by declaring that he did not know the number of bonds be turned over to ev!ln for the construction company stock and that he did not know the valuation of the bonds figuring In the transaction, except that they aggre gated In par value f 4000. IsasasusJty TratlMaj Mixed. Morris also was contradictory In his testimony on the subject of whether he had been promised Immunity by the state for testifying for the prosecu tion. Morris asserted positively la the morning session that he had received no promises from the stats at any time, and that ths only overtures made were those by himself. In which he sought the prosecution to dismiss against him the Indictment in the case on which Wilds Is being tried. On cross-examination Mr. Malarkey gained from Morris the ail mission that In ths trial of Walter H. Moore, la lilt, his lawyer. Judge Gordon, came to him with a proposal from the prosecu tion to the effect that If be would plead guilty to one of the Indictments charging him with receiving deposits la the bank when he knew It was In solvent, and would testify for the state against Moore, the other indictments against him would be dismissed and he would get off with a fins of $1000 and a minimum sentence of one year In the Penitentiary and then be pa roled. Morris said he rejected this offer. Dlassleeal Put DemlesV Whea asked why he had testified positively on direct examination that ha had never received any offer of Im munity from tne prosecution, ha ex plained his subsequent admissions by ssylng that he thought the Interroga tions of counsel for the defense had to do antlrely with the Wilde case. On this subject Morris steadfastly adhered to his repeated assertions that at no time was he offered any inducement ta plead guilty to the Indictment In the pending case and become a witness for ths prosecution against Wilde. He as serted thst hs was surprised whea the leputy District Attorney, the day be fore, bad asked that all ether indict ments be dismissed as against him. Through the introduction of a tele gram, dated February 1 i. 107. from Morris to Wilde. Mr. Malarkey post lively discredited a material feature of the testimony of Morris In ths direct examination when he testified that the details of providing for a syndicate to purchase the 100.000 block of Omaha telephone bonds were being conducted entirely by Wilde. In this telegram, forwarded to Wilde nearly three months before the deal with the bank was actually consummated. Morris in formed Wilds tfist he expected to com plete the organisation of ths proposed syndicate and be prepared to receive the block of bonds at the stipulated figure of 30 cents, net to the Construc tion Company, about April 1. following. He urged Wilde to lose no time In clos ing his contract with ths Construction Compsny for ths sale of the bonds under those term. Fast I.lfe Revealed. Morris also admitted In his cross examination that Moore, president of the Oregon Trust, did not know tha ths bank was not actually paying par for the 1500.000 of bonds. The pur chase of the bonds. Morris said, was scquiesced In by the board of directors after he and Moore had concluded to make the Investment. Mr. Malarkey opened his crosi-exam Lnatlon of Morris with a severe Inter rogation touching on the operation of the ex-cashler before bis arrival I Portland In 1904. In It was brough out the fact that Morris had practice law in a number of Eastern Washing ton towns besides being identified with several enterprises, consisting prlncl pally of banking ventures. Morris denied that when a partner shlD between him and Ed Allen in th Insurance business at Snohomish in 189J was dissolved be wss confronted with a shortage of between fizoo an 11400. He was eaually positive in hi denial of the Insinuation by Mr. Ma larker that he became implicated in a railroad deal In British Columbl and left the scene of his operations on a handcar. Ilaadrar Trip Recalled. Explaining his relation to the rail road enterprise. Mortis said he wa employed aa assistant general manager of the Republic 4c Gran, forks "an way and organised a company and constructed a railroad between Kepub lie and Grand Forks. Under his con tract, Morris said, he received no sal ary. but was allowed his actual ex pen&ea and. with the completion of th road, was to receive a one-sixth In terest In the property. About the time the railroad was built related Morris. some of the larger stockholders un dertook to oust him entirely. He ad mltted using a handcar as a vehicle o locomotion for a dlstsnce of about I miles to the nearest point where he oould reach a railroad train. Morris said he then instituted a sul asking for the appointment of a re celver for the railroad property, bu said that his associates settled with him on terms dictated by himself with out going so far as to Interpose sn answer to his complaint. At the time, Morris said, Spokane newspaper men advised htm that a warrant bad been issued for his arrest, but the warran was not served. Baak-Fermlag Brought Out. Counsel for the defense then traced Morris to Gilliam County and learned that Morris organised a bank at -Olex. The witness, however, affirmed that the bank was not regularly opened for business, although a few special de posits were received temporarily. Lat er, according to Morris, he was Iden tified with the Bank of North Seattle and afterwards assisted in organising the Snohomish National Bank, but in these last two enterprises there wss no Intimation by Mr. Malarkey that Morris' operations were other than proper. Morris was then questioned as to his relations with the District Attorney and Special Prosecutor Clark, the purpose being to show that he had received In ducements to plead guilty to the pend leg Indictment and testify for the state. Morris denied thst he had at any time received any assurance of consideration from the prosecution. He was inter rogated at length concerning his so journ of 21 days in Portland in Oc tober and November, when he was sup posed to be serving time In the State Penitentiary, and his residence at th Carlton Hotel la a 12-a-day room and bath. This examination brought out the fact that for almost all this time be was under the guard of George C. Oraharo, a nephew of District Attor ney Cameron. gsjsnu Her Eojoj d. It was In this time that Morris wss consulting the books and records of the Oregon Trust, preparatory to tes tifying against Wilde. He admitted that he did not unduly hasten his work, explaining that he preferred bis sur roundings when so engaged to those afforded at the State Prison. He even expressed regret that the county did not defray the cost of his cigars and the few drinks he had In the three weeks' "vacation." as Mr. Malarkey de. scribed that period. In this connection Morris said ha had been In Portland ever since January 10, waiting to be called as a witness In the case against niUe. On his last visit, however, he said he had been quartered at a room ing-nouse si Ji seventh street, also under guard of District Attorney Cam eron's nephew. Morris admitted that In his visit to Las An soles and San Diego, before) the purchase by the bank of the telephone bonds, be hsd become convinced that the securities later purchased by the Oregon Trust were a desirable Invest ment. Judging from the market valu tlon of like securities in the Southern California cities, where Independent taiophone) companies were being op era ted. Letters te W lids Shawm. In the cross-examination of Morris, Mr. Malarkey obtained the Introduc tlon of numerous letters and telegrams between Morris and Wild tending to show activity on the part of Wilde, roiiowing the suspension of the Oregon Trust, and after tha first r t rRanlxa tlon under the name of the German- American Bank, to effect a further reorganization by whloh the stock of the Union Telephone Construction Company, the largest Individual cred itor of the Oregon Trust, might bo ac quired and another bank started for the purpose) of conserving these securl ties and enabling the company to pro ceed with the installation of the Omaha plant. Morris said that thl proposed reorganization would Include W tide. Morris. John F. Shorey and Arthur L. Finley, but their efforts to obtain the necessary funds to con summate th deal were futile. In on of theee letters Morris ex pressed dissatisfaction with the man agement of the affairs of the Oregon Trust by Receiver Devlin. In another letter, Morris further protested as-alnst Devlin's record, saying that Wilde's choice of Devlin for ths position did not meet with his approval at all. In this communication Morris said hs be lieved Devlin "was dishonest snd I know him to be a liar who would not stand hitched even if he were hobbled hand and foot." Bead Agreeaaeat Teld About. Resuming his testimony on direct examination at the morning session, Morris said Wilde showed him only one contract authorizing the sale by Wilde of Omaha telephone bonds for the Union Telephone Construction Com pany. That agreement permitted Wilde to sell the bonds at (0 cents on the dollar Bet to the construction com pany," provided the entire block of $500.00 was disposed of to one Invest or or a syndicate. Morris testified that Wild was In Portland In May, 107. when th tele phone bonds were delivered to the bank and certificates of deposit to th amount of 1600,000 ware Issued in their payment. All these certificates, ac cording to Morris, were made out to a. A, Heed, treasurer of the eonetruo tloa company. Including the demand certificate of deposit for f 100.000. being the commission oa the bond deal. This was later Indorsed by Reed and de posited by Wilde to the credit of his own acount, said Morrla In conversations with Wilde, Morris said it was agreed that in splitting the ,90,009 oommlsaloB, the amount remaining after Stow and Graves, of the construction company, had received 1 10.000, Morris was to receive IS000 In cash snd 140,000 in Puget Sound or Tscoma telephone bonds. fSOO "Hp Net Produced. Morris was unable to tell in what shape the alleted payment of $5000 was mane to him. He could not say positively, but "recollected" that Wilde must have drawn a check for 5000 in the name of the bank and that Morris afterwards made out a deposit slip and had the amount placed to the credit of his own personal account. Neither the check alluded to nor the deposit sup, wnicn would have been used in the ordinary course of banking bus! Deis, was produced by the state In support of this part of Morris, testl mony. Morris said in explanation of the fact that he accepted Puget Sound telephone bonds to the amount of $40,000 as ths greater part of his shars of the com mission, that he felt the bank had In vested too heavily in bonds, and that be had better take his chsnces of real Ixlng on these securities than to de plete the cash balance of the bank by taking (40,000 In cash out of its vaults. He was not sure that he had suggested that Wilde also take the major part of his commission In the same securities. The 140,000 of telephone bonds were delivered to Morris about May 8, ac cording to the witness, who said the transaction was covered by the issuance by Wilde of a personal check against Wilde s account as agent for the pur chase price of the bonds. Bonds Net Hiss 925J00. The ex-cashler then proceeded to tell of the disposition he made of the 40 $1000 telephone bonds, all of which he disposed of eventually, netting $25,800 therefrom. Some of the securities were sold outright for cash, while others were traded for property or used for cancelling former obligations. The first transaction in this relation consisted of tha resale by Morris to the Oregon Trust of $10,000 of the bonds at par. Eight were traded for Morris by W. A. Currle and $3300 waa realized there from. The other 22 bonds were disposed of to the following persons or institutions st the consideration indicated: Eight to the Bankers Trust Company, of Ta- coma, $8000; six to John F. Shorey. $2200; one to Arthur U Finley, $550; one to Fidelity Trust Company, of Se attle, $700, and two to a Tacoma, Wash., broker, whose name Morris could not remember, $1050. The remaining four bonds were traded by Morris to Re ceived Devlin for $4000 stock held by the suspended bank in the Union Tele phone Construct!, n Company. From this stock Morris said hs realized noth ing. Baik's Failure Cited. The proceeds from the resale to the Oregon Trust of 10 of these bonds at par, netting $10,000, Morris said he lent to 8. W. Steffner, manager of the Paclflo Coast Securities Company, his personal friend. Morris said he was In New Tork the day the bank closed In an effort to ob tain .'unds on securities held by the bank to tide Its affairs over the Im pending crash. He corroborated the testimony of his sister, Mrs. Lydla M. Jackson, given the day before, relative to his telegram requesting her to come to Portland and interview bis wife and Wilde regarding ths actual condition of the bank. T left New Tork on the day the bank closed Its doors," said Morris, "and re turned to Portland via Seattle. I reached Portland about 11 P. M. August 26 or IS. When Judge Sweek. my law yer, and I got off the train we were met by some man I did not know who took us to the farther end of tha depot platform, where we found Mr. Wilde with a cab. We all got In and th next hour was passed In driving around the North End. Cob fab Held la Cab, W discussed the situation as to the bank. Mr. Wilde volunteering the Infor mation that he had Induced a great many of the depositors to accept bonds in settlement of their claims and to do all within their power to aid In the proposed reorganisation of the Institu tion. At the same time Wilde said he and I should bs very careful about what we said. He cautioned ml to 'stand pat . and everything would com out all 1 right." DAILY MKTBOKO LOGICAL RETORT.
