uty sheriff. has been exceedingly busy
during the past "a hours gracefully
and strenuously declining storms of

on him from scores of friends. The

girl had been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles G. Knowles Is the cause.

want to take credit when it is due
to another man. Mr.. Knowles says
his baby girl is A years old. 1t is
another Charles Knowles. who re-
sides in the country. that is due the
congratulations. He 1t is who has

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-John r. Walsh
president of the defunct Chicago Ma
tional Bank was today found guilty
of misappropriation of the funds of
the institution.
The jury, which had been consid-
ering the case since Thursday after
noon, reached an agreement at
o'clock this morning, but the verdict
was not announced until the court
reconvened at 10 O'Clock.
The penalty under the law for the
crime of which Walsh is convicted,
is imprisonment for not less than 5
years. 1t does not permit the sub
stitution of a fine.
The charge against Walsh grew
out of the closing in 1906 of the
Chicago National Bank of which Mr..
Walsh was president. and its allied
institutions. the Home Savings Bank
and the Equitable Trust Company.
Walsh was accused of having
loaned the funds of these institutions
aggregating sixteen millions of dol
lars on fictitious and insuhiciently
secured struggling enterprises which
he himself had founded and practi-
cally owned.
