WALSH FACES
PRISON CELL
Chicago Court Of Appeals
SuStains Conviction Of
Bank WreCker
HIS SENTENCE WAS FIVE
YEARS IN PENITENTIA2Y

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO, oct 5--The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, Judges
Grosscup, Baker and Humphrey sit
ting, to-day affirmed the decision OF
the lower court in the case Of John
Il. Walsh, the aged millionaire banker,
convicted of wrecking three Chicago
banks. This decision means that
Walsh's motion for new trial IS
denied. Unless the Supreme Court Of
the United States reverses the Ap-
pellate Court, Walsh will have 70 serve
i've years in the Federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kansas.
Tho decision marks another step in
walsh's long fight against his foes,
who include many powerful financiers.
An aggregated penalty of $40 years
in the Federal prison at Fort Leaven-
worth was possible under the verdict
of the jury, which was acted upon to-
day.
Walsh has waged bitter fight since
January is, 1905, TO avoid the prison
term and his opponents-the govern
ment lawyers headed by United States
District Attorney Simms-have been
just as insistent I'm demanding that he
occupy one Ol Aiit iNAio III A'elAAnA~A
Row" at Leavenworth.
Walsh was convicted on "a counts OF
an Indictment involving nine series OF
transactions. These included the loan
ing Of banks money on memorandum
notes and the purchase of bonds Of the
Illinois Southern and Wisconsin and
Michigan railroads. According to the
state the memorandum notes were
issued for an amount just below the
legal limit, usually for $4,000. They
were signed with the names of some
Of Walsh's employees, although without
their knowledge or consent. The col
lateral to the notes was the bonds ol
Walsh's personal properties whicli
were practically worthless. Notes were
then to be discounted in the bank and
cashiers checks were made out to Q
dummy Walsh then deposited the
checks to his own credit in the banh
and used the money for the promotion
Of his private enterprises.
when this verdict was given the jur,
declared that the defendant Walsh ha'
nisapptopriated Sl.0oo.000 although tn
fun sum charged $700o,oQo.
