CLOSING IN ON WALSH
ANOTHER AVENUE OF ESCAPE

Federal Court at Chicago Denies
Banker Rehearing-In
Special Custody.

CHICAGO, December 3.--Another ave-
nue. of escape from serving the sentence
of five years Imprisonment in the Leav-
enworth federal prison for misapplying
the funds of the Chicago National Bank
was closed to John r. Walsh here today
by the ruling of the federal circuit court
of appeals denying him a rehearing in
that court and refusing to continue the
bail under which he has been at liberty
since the sentence was pronounced.
After the decision was read Mr.. Walsh,
once the head of three banks, the owner
of a number of railroads and prominent
financial factor in Chicago, was taken
into custody by deputy United States
marshal.
The custody is special custody" and
means that a deputy marshal will accom-
pany Mr.. Walsh wherever he goes, and
he will not necessarily be placed in Jail
until further action is taken.
Arguments will be made next Tuesday
on a motion of Walshs counsel to re-
open the case and present further reasons
why the mandate should be stayed until
application can be made to the United
States Supreme Court.
