Competent Evidence.
Chicago, Nov 20.-Judge. Anderson,
In the trial OF John r. Walsh yester-
day, ruled that the books OF the Chi
cago National bank and Of the other
Walsh enterprises constituted compe-
tent evidence, and that counsel for
Walsh had no constitutional right to
exclude them. Following up this vic
tory the prosecution through the tes-
Htimony OF National Bank Examiner
p. F. Moxey proceeded to trace six in
stances OF alleged irregularities in ac-
counts which, it is contended, indicate
misapplicatiOn Of the funds Of the
Chicago National by its former presi-
dent. That Mr.. Mickey was permitted
70 testify as an expert in accounts
vas due to another ruling by the
court, who declared his testimony adj
missible after the defendants attor-
news had made every effort to have it
excluded. From book to book through
out the afternoon the bank examiner
traced transactions and pointed out
connecting links through maze Of
1gurea and st the close Of the session
II appeared that the task set before
him would keep him occupied for
ders, since each 81 the $50 counts IN
