Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE opening
statements in the trial of John r.
Walsh. former president OF the Chi
cago National bank, indicted for al
legged misuse of the funds of that insti-
tuition, were concluded today and the
taking of testimony was commenced
Assistant District Attorney Dobyns
finished his opening statement by the
time that court adjourned at noon. In
the afternoon Attorney Edward T.
Ritscher outlined the ase which the
defense will present. He asserted that
IL would be shown during the trial
tina the Chicago National Bank
never discounted an unsecured note;
that neither the bank nor Mr.. Walsh
ever bought a bond that was worthless
and hat the payments made by Mr..
Walsh or by the bank We're perfectly
proper and i'm the due course of bust
ness.
Mr.. Ritscher declared that the de-
Tense will show that Mr.. Walsh made
no unjustifed loans and declared that
the question to be decided by the jury
will narrow down to one OF good faith
and honest intend, instead of a crime.
1t will be shown, he said. thai instead
of Mr.. Walsh owing money 10 the
bank. he was actually its creditor.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Ritscher's
statement T. j. jackson, formerly
cashier of the Chicago National Bank
was called to the witness stand. h
charter Of the Chicago National Bank
was Identified by Mr.. Jackson, and
was offered by the prosecution as evi-
dence of the banks authority TO COM
mcnce business. Through Mr.. Jack
son and l.. A. Walton. vice president
of the Equitable Trust company. who
was the next witness called, the gov
eminent began Identification of books
of the three banks which will be used
in evidence. This process will occupy
the opening hours of tomorrow's scs-
sions.
Assistant District Attorney Dobyns
continued his -arraignment of Walsh.
He criticised the actions of the former
president of the Chicago National
bank in unmeasured terms and was
often interrupted by the attorneys for
the defense with objections to his
statements.
Dobyns concluded his address With
a statement of the holdings by the
Chicago banks of the bonds of the
Southern Indiana railway. He said:
When the Walsh bank closed
there were outstanding bonds OF the
Southern Indiana railroad to the
amount OF $4,000, 900. OF this the
three Walsh banks held S3.9 900.
From the banks. Mr.. Walsh had taken
$3.64S,O 900 on these bonds, not one Of
which could be sold to- the public.
They were absolutely unmarketable
and worthless"
Mr.. Dobyns declared that the imam
cial operations of Mr.. Walsh were
kept a secret from the directors of
hesbank. He. said that several of
them will take the stand during the
trial and testify to that effect.

THAT CANYON WRANGLE.

The Panhandle hopes the Canyon
City fans are satisfied and pleased
with the results OF yesterdays game
on the diamond at the Amarillo
grounds. The Canyon baseball fans
took the ground that they had the
strongest team, and that they out
played Amarillo at Canyon, while
the Amarillo fans contended that
they received unfair treatment at
Canyon.
The Canyon team showed what
sort of stuff they are made OF yes
terday, and that they needed no UNI
pire to assist them to win the game.
The Panhandle Is always in SYM
pathy with its home, and hopes to see
the home team carry off the PEN
nant with all outsiders, but 1t wants
to see them dosit fair, II they are
able, or not at all, and when they
are defeated by an aggregation OF
better players, wants to see the ANA
rillo fan credit the merit to the
team that deserves it, whether it
be the home team or neighbor.
Let the contests be fair, in good
spirit and gentlemanly, and the pub
lie will think more of the game, no
matter who wins. 1t is hoped that
yesterdays conclusion on the home
diamond, settled all disputes arising
at Canyon, and that the people OF
that neighborlng city are satisfied
and pleased,
