HARTFORD, Conn, July 25.-Wm.
F. Walker, who fed after embezzling
$565, 900 from the savings bank OF
New Britain and $4,000 from the Con.
necticut Baptist association. and who
was arrested months later In the
mountains of Ensauada. Mexico, ap-
peared before Judge Runway In the
Hartford county superior court today.
to plead guilty. Walker said he
would make a complete and detailed
confession later.
Walker, bearing no resemblance to
the thrifty and respected bank teller.
respected by every resident OF New
Britain, manacled to two detectives,
reached Hartford last night from New
Mexico, where he was held for weeks
pending extradition proceedings fol-
lowing his arrest. He wore an old and
tattered miners hat, and was clothed
in dirty suit of cheap material. He
tried TO hide his features as much as
possible from the depot crowd, among
whom were many OF his former
friends.
Walker was placed in a cell and
under the eyes of two deputy sherins,
who will never leave him. fearing that
he may commit suicide.
To the detectives Walker said that
he alone was responsible for the rob
berry. but he refused to tell what had
become Of the money and securities.
