cutions shall be forced TO go to trial

poned on the ground that it will endanger
his life to so to trial at the time fixed
Should the court grant a continuance
in the cases against Shumaker. counsel
for his codefendants will ask for con-
tinuance of all the cases on the ground
that Shumaker Is an important witness
for the defense, and his testimony Is
necessary to complete defense
Under certain conditions the attorneys
for the defense are also prepared to ask
that each OF the defendants be tried sep
arately, which would prolonS the trials
for months.
DR.. John g. Lowman of Johnstown.
Shumakers family physician, was called
.by the defense to testify to the condition
of his patient. DIR. John II. Musser and
Dr. Wharton Sinkler of Philadelphia, who
examined Shumaker for the common
wealth. would not discuss his condition
in advance OF the hearing in court At
torney General Todd is opposed to delay
ing the trials. and will insist on the cases
against the other defendants going to trial

ings Bank and the Equitable Trust Com
pany. Walsh was accused Of having loan
ed funds of the Chicago National Bank
and its allied institutions aggregating
some sixteen millions of dollars on hctl-
tious and insuff1ciently secured notes to
nearly a score of struggling enterprises
which he himself had founded and prac-
ticaly owned Many Of the notes. 1t de-
veloped at the trial. were signed. with
out authority. in the names of various
employees of Walsh.
The directors of the Chicago National
Bank testified that they were not con-
suited by Walsh as to the making OF
the loans. and that they knew nothing of
them. Twenty-six of the notes were de-
scribed as mefnorandunl notes. and they
formed one of the chief features of the
trial. They represented more than $1,000
600. Methods OF concealment employed in
carrying the transactions on the books OF
the bank and alleged misrepresentation
made in reports to the national bank ex-
aminers kept the latter in ignorance of
the true condition Of the banks finances
and the nature of their securities for sew
eral years prior to the closing of the
institutions.
The defense took the ground that all of
the Walsh enterprises were built UP in or
der to save and protect original loans
made by Walsh in good faith. The claim
was also made that Walsh did not hold
the controlling interest in the corpora
the Chicago National Bank held 1t, Walsh
being only trustee and conservator of
the banks interests. Walsh was on the
witness stand for two days. He admitted
nearly all of the transactions charged
against him. but clung to the defense that
all was for the good of the bank he head
ed and all the loans proved good and no
one lost anything in consequence of them.
In substantiation of the latter claim the
defense offered evidence to show that
since the closing of the banks Walsh had
bought back the collateral taken from him
by the clearing house banks. amounting
to $7,0OOOOO. giving In payment note for
the same amount. payable In five years.
The collateral released Walsh was able
to go ahead with the building of his rail-
roads.
Another fact brought out was that the
associated banks of Chicago took pro-
rata share of the 81 .O00.O 900 loan negotiated
by Walsh for the redemption OF his Sc
curities. and that these banks today hold
the stocks and bonds which Walsh was
prosecuted for making loans upon. This
circumstance was made the basis OF
Walsh's claim throughout the trial that
the value of the securities had been es-
ia blished.
The trial covered a period of nine weeks
and was twice interrupted by illness OF

RUSSIA INTERESTED.
Cars Naval Officer Following
Course of the Fleet.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 1S.-The
Importance attached by the Russian ad-
miralty to the lessons to be learned from
feet under Rear Admiral Evans is shown
by the fact that a Russian naval officer,
Commander Alexis Diatchkoff, is follow
ing the fleet on its trip around South
America, travelling from port to port by
whatever means he can obtain. The COM
mander adopted this course only after his
repeated, requests for permission to join
the ships had been refused
1t has been reported here that Diatch-
kofr succeeded in getting on board one of
the American warships at Rio Janeiro,
and tie entire incident Of this officer S
activities has been a source Of some fric-
ton between the Russian foreign min
istry and the admiralty. When Baron
Rosen. the Russian ambassador to the
United States, was Instructed to ask for
a Permit for Dlatchkoff to join Admiral
Evans, he acc lined on the ground that he
knew this request would be unfavorably
received a. Washington.
Thereupon the Russian admiralty. after
further correspondence with the foreign
office, instructed Diatchkoff to apply per-
sonally to Secretary Metcalf This the
officer did. but in vain. He was there
upon ordered to follow the fleet closely
as he could, making use of private
steamers.
The Noyoe Nremya. which is conduct
ing d campaign against Foreign Minister
Iswolsky. declares today that Diatchkoff
was granted permission to accompany
one of the American battieships. This
was obtained after Baron Rosen had re-
fused to present his application. accord
ing TO this paper. and not the slightest
objection was made The Novoe Vremya,
however. is in error, the facts are as
stated above.
Commander Alexis Diatchkoff arrived
in New York from Europe on the steamer
Oceanic. December II. and it was then
announced that he was to succeed Capt
NebolSin as Russian naval attache at
Washington. This change evidently did
not take place. because Capt. Nebolsin
is still at Washington. and Commander
Diatchkoff is at Rio Janeiro. He arrived
there January ., according to dispatch
from Rio Janeiro. TO witness the arrival
of the American fleet. Commander Diatch-
koff is said TO have commanded the Rus
sian cruiser Gromoboi during the Russo
Japanese war.
In September Of last year there was pub
lished in London a report that Russia
was looking out for a coalfng station near
the entrance to the Panama canal. and
with the desire of furtherng this purpose
it was then declared that Capt Nebolsin
was to be transferred from Washington to
Rio Janeiro. The Russian foreign Office
was auestio concerning the report that
Russia was seeking land for a coalng sta
ton in the Caribbean, but would not give
it emphatic denial.
