Washington-A complete change OF

the house of representatives in the
consideration of the bill to codify and
revise the penal laws Of the United
States. The pacific spirit displayed
by the committee on revision of laws
towards the close of Wednesdays ses-

several amendments strengthening
certain provisions of the bill regard
ing corruption in the appointment Of
persons to public offices would be
adopted, had vanished and instead ev-

keep amendments out of the bill.
When adjournment was taken only
six additional pages had been dis

Clinton Courtroom Crowded to Hear
SHELLS Epistles Read.

Clinton, Ill.-Skelesons In the fam
lily closet of Colonel Thomas Smell,
the dead millionaire, whose will is in
danger of being declared invalid, were
exposed for the benefit of a jury in
the circuit court Friday. Letters
which he wrote and received were pro-
duced and their contents created the
greatest sensation.
In expectation that the epistles
would be read, a large crowd assem-
bled Friday morning, testing the ca
pacity of the court room to it's utter
most. This was regarded as the big
day in the remarkable trial, the inter-
est of the public centering in the let
tiers and the evidence relating thereto.
The lawyers, after spending the
greater part of Thursday going
through the letters on exhibition,
agreed that language could not ex-
press more vicious or depraved
thoughts and that the limit of obscen-
ity had been revealed.

BANKER WALSH
FOUND GUILTY
FORMER CHICAGO BOSS MUST
PAY PENALTY FOR MlSAP-
PLYING FUNDS.
JURY HAS FINALLY AGREED
Verdict Reached at 8 A. M. Saturday,
After Thirty-Three Hours De-
'liberation-Trial Lasted
Months.

Chicago, Ill.-John r. Walsh was
fousd guilty of misapplying the funds
of the Chicago National bank,
of which he was president and prin-
cipal owner. The verdict was returned
to Judge Anderson in federal court
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
Under the law Walsh must go to
prison for a term of years not xeceed-
ing five and not less than one. His
Imprisonment will be in the federal
penitentiary.
The verdict was reached at 3
o'clock Saturday morning, after the
jury had deliberated SO hours. The
jurors at that time wrote out their
verdict, signed it and went to bed at
their hotel.
Court Outlined Issue.
The charge delivered to the jury by
Judge Anderson was regarded as ia
vorable to the contention of the gov
eminent. Touching upon the question
of guilty intent, which was, in fact,
the only real issue in the case, the
court said:
"If the defendant acted in good
faith and without fraudulent intent,
with the belief that he was acting to
benefit the bank, although the trans
actions were not judicious, he is not
to be held criminally responsible. IF
he acted, howeevr, in bad faith ard
with intent to benefit himself or some
other person or corporation other than
the bank, his acts were criminal.
Accepts Verdict Stoically.
The former financial autocrat of
Chicago showed no emotion when the
verdict was read in Judge Anderson's
courtroom. He was released under
$4,000 bonds, pending motions for a
new trial.
The verdict of guilt was read in a
courtroom crowded with the greatest
throng ever seer in the federal build
ing. The proceedings became intense
ly dramatic at Tins, and a hush fell
over the room so that a pin might have
been heard falling.
The jurors were taken to their seats
through Judge Anderson's chambers to
avoid the rush. Foreman James e.
Taggart led the men in. He handed
to Clerk Charles E. Bull the verdict,
which was read aloud at once, on or
ders Of the court. 1t found Walsh
guilty on 81 counts out of $50 charged
in the indictment.

dreadful disease can be cured 1t is inn
possible to tell how far medical

Is no limit to the hope which such
