THE MORSE CASE. An Explanation That Does Not Explain. Mr. Johns Does Not Deny the Material Fact in the Case. In the course of the long "explanation" by Mr.

Johns he does not assert that Morse was in court to answer to the charge of forgery, on the der the case was called. He does deny that there was a good $5 vail bond. He cannot deny to is the duty of the -itorney to declare bond forfened if the 80- cused does not appear for trial. He does not deny that he did not declare the bond forfeited. In short he sim ply admits that he did not do his duty in office.

It does not matter whether there WaS 8 good case against Morse or not. If he did not appear for trial, the $500 bail money belonged to Macon county and he ought to have collected it. It will not be believed that there was no case against Morse. How was the indictment procured, and what was the presumptive evidence upon which 8 requisition obtained? Bat we do know that Morse presented the draft signed by J. D.

Sherwood at the Decatur National bank, that with Mr. Bullard's endorsement upon it he secured a part of the money, and that he went away with it. Morse knew that no such man as J. D. Sherwood existed, and he was therefore guilty under the indictment according to chapter 38, section 107 of the criminal code, relating to forgeries, which reads as follows: Whoever shall make, pass, utter or publish with an intention to defraud any other person or with like Intention shall attempt to pass, utter or publish, or shall have in his session with like intent to pass, utter or publish any fletitious bill, note or check, purport1ng to be the bill, note or check or other instrument of writing for the payment of money or property of some bank, corporation.

copartnership or individual, when in fact there shall be no such bank, corporation, copartnership or individual in existence, the sald person. knowing the said bill, note, check or instrument of writing for the payment of money or property to be shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than one nor more than twenty years. Convictions under this law have been sustained on appeal to the supreme court, notably in the case of Langdale vs The People, 100 page 263. Why then was it impossible to convict! The National Bank men were here, Mr. Bullard was here, and they could testify that Morse got a part of the money.

Mr. Johns bimself acknowledges that he possessed abundant testimony that no such person as J. D. Sherwood had any account in the First National Bank, of Chicago, and "a careful examination of the directories at St. Louis failed toreveal the name or address of J.

D. Sherwood." J. D. Sherwood was then a fictitious person. Why could Morse not have been convicted under section 107 which we quoted? We do not believe the people, in view of the facts which we have stated, will be ready to believe Mr.

Johns' sweeping declaration that Morse could not have been convicted. But this is all apart from the main questions. The questions are: Was Morse in court when his case was called? No. Was a forfeiture of the recognizance declared as the law requires? No. Was Macon county loser by $500 for the course Mr.

Johns took? Yes. The proceeding of Mr. Johns in this case was very unusual. When the states-attorney is fully convinced that be cannot secure a conviction he usually enters a nolle. Why didn't he do it here? E.

McClellan, circuit clerk, is a safe man in his place. He is always looking out for the people's interests. He was the first man to complain at the high-handed way Mr. Johns took of depriving Macon county of the $500 bail money which rightfully should belong to the county treasury. Let Mr.

Johns deny or explain away the material facts in the case. He will not do it, because he cannot. The HERALD believes it has told the truth and proposes to stick to it. Berry, Salad THE CITY COUNCIL. Second October Meeting Held Last Night.
