GOVERNMENT MAKES
REPLY TO WALSH

CHICAGO. Ill, Nov. 17.-District At
torney Edwin Sims, this afternoon filed
the answer OF the government to the Pc
tition of John r. Walsh, convicted OF mis-
applying the funds Of the Chicago Ma
tional bank, for a re-hearing Of his ap-
peal to the federal circuit court of APP
peals.
In the answer, the governments attor-
7sr seyS that the only new points raised
By me DESCENDANT in the petition. which
was fled soas Gays ago. are the null
tipIicity OF the sess=.S - La i1lseSzI.SE1a
and the allegation that the verdict we1
Inconsistent.
To the objection on the number Of
counts, the answer replies that as a gen.
eral rule the joining of a large number
of counts in an indictment operates to
the advantage OF the defendant by enab-
ling him to dispose Of all the charges al
one trial and furthermore the answer de-
cIares no objection to the multiplicity Of
counts was raised at the trial.
The petition for a re-hearing urged
that the verdict was inconsistent, because
the Jury found the defendant guilty on
separate counts relating to the same
transaction. but in which the allegations
were contradictory, so that If he were
guilty of the facts charged in one count
he could not have been guilty as
charged in another. To this the govern
ment replies that the verdict is in eff
feet a general verdict in which all Of the
counts are included; that the inconsist-
ency, il any exists in the verdict, is up
on immaterial points, and lastly, that
there is no real substantial difference be-
tween the counts.
Should the petition for rehearing be
denied by the court of appeals, the only
avenue for a reversal will be an applica-
ton 10 the federal supreme court for q
writ of certiorari.

LOVES OF MEN AND WOMEN.
Writer In American Magazine Dis. eusses Question of the Be-

~Now I am going to say something that many people will dispute: When . woman, one who really Is a woman. has once truly and deeply loved man she can never wholly stop loving him. For that man she will always feel . certain tenderness. l still have a great tenderness for Frank. And I have. too. an even greater pity. Per; haps l pity him chiefly because he has never for one moment suspected how felt toward him. He could not possibly conceive of my being rebel lious. If he we've to read these words it would not occur to him that I could have written them. In spite Of all his shrewdness. which makes him see SO clearly into the weaknesses of busi- ness men. he has never doubted my loyalty. l could have friendships with a dozen men and he would not raise . question even in his own mind. That confidence is dear to a woman. even if she knows that she does not de serve it. In one way I do deserve it. Never for an instant have I been att tracted to another man. And yet I believe I could easily love another man. sI could even love two men at the same time. one of the two being Frank. At this point perhaps be- come shocking. Merely to. love two men at the same time is soandaious in woman. Yet many men can and do love more than one woman at the , same time."-American Magazine.
