Embezzlement of the funds of the
Oregon Trust Saving Company is
me charge upon which Morris was
convicted. The trial followed an expos
vrt developing from the panic of 190"
- when the institution went to the wall
when depleted by reckless investments
on worthless security.
A principal factor in the insolvency
was the carrying of bonds of Omaha
and Tacoma telephone companies, sold
to the bank by Louis J. Wilde, a finan
cler of Los Angeles. Upon liquidation
by Thomas 'C. Devlin, receiver, these
bonds, having- fallen below par, were
distributed to the creditors of the bank
pro rata.
Bank President Escapes.
Morris was Indicted Jointly with
Walter C. Moore, the bank's president,
and Cus Lowlt. a dry goods merchant,
who drew large sums upon worthless
security, thus hastening the fall of the
bank. Lowlt committed suicide recent
ly in Denver and his bondsmen were
exonerated. Moore, after turning over
Ms personal fortune to the credit of
the bank, escaped punishment.
Civil suit axalnst Moore, Morris and
the directors of the bank was Insti
tuted by Receiver Devlin over a year
ago. to compel the return of the funda
alleged to have been dissipated by
them. After a lengthy trial the case
waa taken under advisement by Judge
Uatens. and it continues in that status.
n May IS. 1910. Morris waa aen
fenced to acrve six years' imprison
ment. An appeal waa taken to the Su
1'reme Court, where the lower court
us sustained March 19. A prlnclpa
l'int raised In the appeal was that
Jmlge Gantenbeln had erred In hi
method of handling an alleged attempt
to bribe one of the Jurors, which was
confessed by Howard Uuilford.
Appeal and Itevlew Denied.
Appeal waa made to Governor West
April : 1 for a pardon, but It waa de
nied. Then a writ of review was sued
for In the Supremo Court, but waa
denied.
Mandate for the imprisonment of
Morris is slightly overdue, and for a
time mystery existed as to the reason
for the delay. Rumors have been in
circulation that friends of the accused
banker had entered Into negotiations
with the prosecution looking toward
the giving of evidence which would re.
ault In the taking up of th depre
ciated bonds by persona not as yet ao
cused. and who. It Is said, could he
d'eply Involved If Morris would tell
all that he know.
It appears ' that this proposal was
consider'! for a time, but has been
practically abandoned. Prom excellent
sources comes the Information that
Morris, at the time of the trial, was
offered an opportunity to take a year's
Imprisonment and a fine of $1000 If
he would turn state's evidence, but he
refused.
Bonds aggregating $57,000 and given
bv half a dozen Individuals will be
exonerated when Morris is delivered to
the Sheriff. The ex-banker has been
living quietly in thia city, since the
.trial.

wandered about the Union Station un

time her disappearance waa not dis
covered. When ahe tailed to write, the

that she had never arrived at her des
