YERS HAVE FOUGHT TRIAL
FOR TWO YEARS, MUST NOW

BY r. F. FRAZER

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-John R.
Walsh, charged with wrecking the
Chicago National bank, the EQuit-
able Trust Co.. and the Home Saw.
ings bank, can no longer fight of
the law.
This white-haired man of 20, who
dreamed dreams of railway empire
and to whom age has only come
during the soul-wrenching days of
the past two years, must go to trial
at the bar of justice for the sins he
is alleged tot have committed
against his fellowmen and the law.
There are 800 counts to the In
dictments against Walsh. The
shortest sentence possible on one
count is five years, and that would
probably be life for him.
For two years John S. Miller, the
famous defender of the Standard
Oil Co., has fought every inch OF
the ground to keep Walsh from
trial.
The fight began with the grand
jury, which voted the first indict'
ment. Common citizens who are
under investigation by federal
grand jury do not begin the fight
until they are charged with some
crime. The government was con
vinced that attempts were being
made to get to the jury, SO the ju
rors were guarded everywhere they
went: so were witnesses.
Walsh was brought into court to
hear the charges against him. Be
cause thousands of depositors who
had trusted him wanted to see the
man, he asked to be smuggled into
the room through secret passage,
He heard himself accused of using
the peoples money to promote his
railroads in Indiana and Illinois
