New York, Oct. 12. —Unless the United States supreme court grants a writ of certiorari to Charles W. Morse, the convicted banker must within forty days go to Atlanta to begin a term of fifteen years’ imprisonment The circuit court of appeals has affirmed the conviction in the circuit court for misapplication of the funds of the National Bank of North America. Morse in the morning surrendered himself to United States Marshal Henkel. He was accompanied by his wife and his two sons. The provisions of the 1125,000 ball bond subscribed to by his friends and business associates provided that Morse was to surrender himself when the circuit court of appeals handed down its decision. It was evident that both Morse and his counsel were taken by surprise. The banker appeared the least affected by his plight. In an electric cab he was driven to the Tombs and there placed in the same cell he occupied after his conviction last November. Today an application for ball pending the stay of forty days will be made. Morse, It is stated, has paid every cent he owes. Last week he was elected president of the Metropolitan Steamship company and the Hudson Navigation company.
