New York, Jan. 4.— With a supreme
effort to be cheerful, but with emotion
occasionally getting the better of him
Charles W.‘ Morse left New York today
to begin a 15 year sentence in the fed
eral prison at Atlanta, Ga., for viola
tion of the uatioual banking laws.
Before leaviiig the Tombs, where he
had beeu confined for the greater part
of the last year, Morse received his
wife and two sous and then the news
paper men. He was too affected to
say anything, but handed out a care
fully prepared statement.
Morse left at 10:45 o'clock in «us
tody of Deputy United States marshals.
The party occupied a stateroom.
Morse's statement is bitter and dra
matic.
“ I am going to Atlanta to begin

citizen in a civilized country,” is *»»«
opinion of the sentence.
“ I have hoped,” the statement con
tinues, “ with that hope which comes
from a consciousness of my innocence,
that I will not have to close out for
ever the light and liberty of this world
under such an inhuman sentonce. 1
have felt that the fact that I had paid
a fine of $7,000,000 and served a year
in prison would satisfy the cry for a
victim and I have steadily believed
that the courts would bo compelled to
give me a new trial.
“ When I learned that the private
detectives o f the prosecution were the
keepers of the jury, that the jury drank
like men upon a jaunt or a holiday
rather than citizens engaged in a se
rious service, and that as a result, two
of them were rendered unfit, I natur
ally hoped I would be allowed another
trial by another jury, free from these
hostile influences.
“ It seems, howovor, that the courts
intend to establish the practices which
make rum drinking a part of a jury
service and private detectives as the
custodians of a jury a permanent insti
tution. By this sentenco and judgment
T may be brought to ruin; but the dam
ago done to me is not half as import
ant as the injury to the administra
tion of justice. I am now up in years
and must, with the passing of time,
!>ass also; but the record of my con
viction and the way it was brought
about will remain a lasting and dan
gerous example of a government gone
mad in search of a victim.”

Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 4.— Evidence of
the value of the Athabasca oil fields
lias been given before the Dominion
senate committee by Alfred von Ham
merstein. He stated that for the last
oight years ho had been exploring the
field between 320 and 350 miles north
of Edmonton, and that some of the
wells had revealed tho presence of oil
and gas in large quantities.
The wells varied in depth from 250
to 1,200 feet. lie showed samples of
naphtha oil and of oil collected in the
sand. He declared that in the wells
which he was boring there were inex
haustible supplies of this material.
Near the surface it was found in a
hardened state, while 60 feet lower
down it was found in a semi-liquid
condition.
His work had been carried on secret
ly. He declared that there was no
foundation for the statement in the
prospectus of the California & Alberta
Oil company that it had discovered
oil on a 10,000 acre property 30 miles
north of Edmonton.
