JOHN R. WALSH'S
APPEAL IS DENIED
Circuit Court of Appeals Refuses 40
ton for Rehearing and Orders
Him Placed In Custody.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-John r. Walsh.
the aged Chicago banker, today took
another long step towards the federal
penitentiary.
The United States circuit court OF
appeals deprived him of his personal
liberty and committed him To the
custody of the United States Marshal
after it had denied the motion Of his
attorneys for rehearing of his appeal
from the sentence of District Judge
Anderson. simultaneously the court
announced that Walsh would be held
by the Marshal until such time as his
attorneys shall file with the court
motion for a writ Of certiorari To the
supreme court OF the United states,
specifying January 3 as the last day
on which this action could be taken.
Walsh was turned over to Marshal

Today's developments came rapidly
The court late yesterday sent word
to John S. Miller. Walsh's attorney
that il would hand down decision
today on Walsh's motion for re-hear'
ing At the same time the court
significantly notified Walsh that his
presence in court today was neces-
sary.
The opinion was delivered by Judge
GrOsscup and was concurred In by
Judges Seaman and Baker. II was
oral, merely denying the re-hearing
motion. Attorney Miller then entered
a motion for a stay Of the mandate
committing Walsh, until he could ME

was denied. but the court explained
that IL Miller would move 10 commit
Walsh into the marshals custody
until January to give him an OPP
portunity TO file his certiorari writ thls
would be done Miller made the mo-
ton and Walsh was committed.
The courtroom was crowded with
Walsh's friends and the commitment
OF the aged banker created sensa'
ton. despite the fact that II was gen
orally predicted. Walsh said nothing
when his fate was announced, but ne
looked haggard and worn and bore
all the appearances OF man who IS
rapidly approaching the end of his
resources
