1T Is for the department OF justice TO
say whether the evidence as we find IL
iustihes criminal proceedings with the
facts as given out, and how the cases
shall be conducted.
THE trouble with the Walsh banks was
due to two things, which are always dan
gerous-the holding OF large amounts OF
public depoeits and the managing ONT

side enterprises requiring the use OF very
large amounts OF borrowed money, which
they supplied from the funds OF the bank

various concerns In which they are I'm
some way interested There was no money
stolen from the Walsh banks, or shortage
in their securities.
John r. Walsh was for years consId-
cred a very successful and conservative
banker, but he branched out more and
more into other enterprises. He owned a
large Chicago newspaper. three or four
railroads. a coal mine and quarries. and
had real estate and property OF every
description.
He is man OF marvellous energy and
fine ability. His companies were well or

called the Book of Heaven in their
