Walsh Sentenced.

Chicago, Mar. 13.-John r. Walsh,
convicted bank wrecker, was today SER
fenced to FIVE years in the penitentiaTy
by Judge Anderson in the United States
District Court. Ia announcing the sen
tence the court states that because of
the bankers former business relations,
his association with men and his age, he
would impose only the minimum sem
tence of FIVE years. Judge Anderson
overruled all motions of the defense.
Walsh will be sent to Leave5worth,
Ksn., prison.
The motion for new trial was denied.
John r. WAlsh's career as banker,
railroad msgnate, newspaper publisher
and political boss, furnishes an instance
o: the rise of q newsboy and the down
fall of a millionaire. Walsh was born
in Ireland. His father, poor immi-
grant, left the boy on his own resources.
Walsh rose to the position of dealer in
periodicals. Aided by powerful iuau-
ences he won success in ward politics.
This enabled him to become a money
lender. He started a small bank, and,
through political Influence. procured
city and county deposits. he bought
stock in newspaper, then started the
Chicago Chronicle aud for years used it
as political weapon. By taking adj
vantage of bankruptcies, he bought stone
qusrries, railroads, steamers and coal
mines 10 Indiana. The money he used,
it is charged, was that deposited by the
State, county and municipality and
other depositors. Walsh was convicted
of having violated the laws which for
bid banks to lend more than 10 per
cent of their capital stock to any single
person. He loaned at least a dozen of his
corporations many times ia excess Of the
legal limit. He signed other persons names
viction was secured showed he drew out
large sums OF money. In December. 1905,
