MORSE AND CURTIS TALK

They Hold Converse Through the Bars of the Cell in Which Morse Is Confined. New York. Nov. 24. —’Through the bars of his cell In the Tombs, where he has been confined since his conviction on charges of violation of the national banking laws while vice president of the National Bank of North America, Charles W. Morse held a long conversation with Alfred 11. Curtis, ex-president of the bank, who was convicted with Morse but who escaped on a suspended sentence. It was the first time the two men had met since the conclusion of their joint trial. Seated on a little stool outside of Morse’s cell, Curtis chatted with the prisoner for an hour. The pair seemed entirely friendly, and before he left Curtis extended his band through the bars and shook Morse’s hand heartily.
