WALKER COMING
Former New Britain Citizen Talks About Ris Case aud Appears
 All Broken Up.

San Diego, Cal, July 2O.-William F. Walker, the absconding treasurer of the Savings bank of New Britain, Conn, in custody of State Superin- tendent of Police T. F. Egan and As sistant Superintendent II. J. Hoffman of the Los Angeles Fullerton agency, arrived here yesterday morning at o'clock from Ensenada on the steam CT St Denis and left at S:45 a. m. on the Santa Fe for the east.
 Walker, though in custody, seemed to be as free IS any or tho rest of the party as they left the steamer and took hack for the res taurant for breakfast, also at the police station, where the three chatted pleasantly with Chief Nicely and Detective Counts, who had been arranging for the coming of the party. Walker looks worried, but Se- cretive and sharp, saying little, but says he is sorry the end of the hght against extradition was against him.
 ..I feared this would be the re- suit" he said, because did not have fair show in their courts. In truth, only one judge ever looked into my case or heard arguments for or against me. Judge Cadena of the district court in Ensenada decided that I sould be extradited. The de- partment of foreign relations ap- proved the finding perfunctorily without argument and without much examination. Then we used the pe- tition for writ of amparo thabeas corpus) and it was heard by Judge Cadena. Of course ha agreed with himself that he was right in the first case.
 "Then came the review by the su- preme court of Mexico and then l was not represented. l had expected Messrs Fuller and Ceryantes to ap- pear for me, but had not been able sufficiently to retain them and they did not appear, so that even the question of judges right to sit in review on his own action and decis- ion was not considered. There was no argument, no showing for me ana the report was industriously circn- lated around the City of Mexico that I was not only willing put anxious to return to Connecticut. Who spread this report I don't know, but srs- pect the prosecution. Small wonder, then, that the court merely said, Let it go.' had hoped for a dif- ferent decision, but will have to be content. I have nothing to tell the people back there that the bank does ont already know"
 Hoffman has. been in Lower Cali- fornia since November. Walker nas been under arrest since December l4 and Egan has been on the ground waiting since February 5. Egan pro poses to go through to Hartford as fast as possible.

When Walker Arrives.

Hartford, July 20.-When William F. Walker arrives here probably on Friday, he will immediately be arr raigned under the indictment which was issued soon after his flight.
