NEW YORK. July‘ 13.—(AP).
George W. Field and George W.
Morse. former heads of two broker-
age firms which failed for a total
of $3.200 000 in 19-2. today were
sen‘tence’d in liederal Court to serve

ta prison for bucketing customers'
orders.

conclusion of the trial.
New Englanders were principally
the victims of the convicted men's
operations. The prosecution charg-
ed that these investors were swin-
died out of millions of dollars. The
specific charges against Field and
Home were use of the mails to de-
fraud.
Shortly before their original firm
failed with $200. 000 liabilities. they
organized another firm under the
name of George W. Morse and com-
pany which failed for $3. 000. 000 in
