Chicago, Dec. I9-John R. Walsh. convicted banker. has begun his final desperate fight to the last ditch. To- morrow his petition for a writ of re- view from the United States supreme court will be filed in Washington. and his attorneys will commence their preparations for their legal battle be- fore the court of last resort. If that fails, the aged financier will have to face the ignominy and and disgrace of prison. Already he is constantly under guard. with the eyes of tue officers always upon him. Although Walsh himself maintains a hopeful attitude. his friends have little confidence in his ability to escape the penitentiary already yawning to receive him. But the old man goes about his business, apparently almost care-free, and if he is tormented by grim spectres of striped-clad criminals. his friends know nothing Of it.
 The appeal to the supreme court marks the last: attempt of the former financier to escape the penalty of five yeaB Imprisonment. imposed in the verdict finding him guilty of misap- plying the funds of the Chicago Ma tional Bank while he was it's president

 Of Ancient Principles.

Objection is also made to that provision for the abolition of the Pan- ana court of three judges and the substitution of court of one judge on the ground that it would pave the way for a tyrapical administration of justice.

APPARENTLY LITTLE HOPE
Entertained By Man Who Claims He Was Held Re- sponsible for the Panic He Wants Only One Fair Trial

New York, Dec 19-Charles w Morse. once one of New York's great est and most successful financiers stands today in the shadow of prison Upon an argument that Martin w Littleton is to make to Judge Hough in the United States circuit court to- morrow for new trial for Morse, the convicted banker. sentenced to fifteen years in prison for the misapplica- tion of funds of bank. of which he was the head during the days pre- eeding the panic. will depend whether he shall soon serve his term or be granted another opportunity to strug- gle for his freedom.
 In his argument MT. Littleton will declare that the jury or that some of the jurors that convicted Mir Morse were incompetent in the eyes of the law to sit in such a body, that they were addicted to intoxicating liquors to such an extent as to interfere with their powers of reason and render it impossible for them to accord MT. Morse an unbiased and fair trial
 He intends to show that at the time of the trial of Morse the public called for victim for the panic and that in the rage and turmoil MT. Morse was selected.
 MT. Morse recently broke the long silence he has maintained since his troubles and issued a statement that his friends interpret to mean that he has practically abandoned hope of breaking the legal letters that doom him to prison cell. Tn part he said: ''I am coming close to the end of a bitter. nerve rdcking struggle for jus tice What that end will be I am not able to foretell-whether servi- tude under sentence which is rare- Iy imposed even upon a murderer, or a new trial. with chance to submit my case to another jury after the passions of the panic have cooled and the cry for a victim has ceased
 If it be servitude in a distant state and climate. away from my family and friends. I shall meet 1t with the firm consciousness that l have not violated the law or done wrong to single individual. If 1t be a new trial I shall be willing to have a jury impaneled at once, placed in the custody of impartial officers, kept free of hostile influences and abide, by the result. A new trial could not hurt the government case because all of the evidence is mat ter of record. and if any witness IS absent or dead his testimony could be read"
 Mir. Morse then reviews grounds on which the motion for a new trial IS based His statement continues;
 T shall await the result and abide by if

\ BAY STATE CHRISTMAS
There Will Be a Happy Time at Brookline- band Yielded to Impor- tunities of Wife Who Left Yesterday morning

The confidence of Mrs. Mary K Ma gaw of Brookline. Miss, that she would recover possession of her little girl for whom she had set out on quest across the continent was Justified. She left for the east yesterday morning with the little child in her possession, going by the Santa Fe route.
 The child was willingly though re- luctantly surrendered by the father, William J. Magaw according to the ad- vice of Judge Kent. supplemented by the all night opportunities of the wife who proved that she was better able to care for it and it was certainly in need of a mothers care. The father had done all he could for its comfort, but then a father is only man.
 Late at night, MT. Magaw yielded and he remained with his wife and child until half past one o'clock in the morning when he went with them to the $. F., P. & P. train and saw them safely aboard. MT. Magaw is still in town but he said yesterday he would probably return to Casa Grande to- night.
 Those who witnessed their meeting in the chambers of Judge Kent on Sat urday afternoon and evening said it was a curious conference. Notwith- standing the circumstances of the meeting and all the trouble that had preceded it there was no quarreling and no recrimination. Each treated the other with consideration. Once the husband fin reply to the opportunities of his wife said with. slight petulanee l. .I. .-s% ation in which they found themselves. But this remark brought forth no re- joinder which might have made an agreement more difficult.
 Neither vouchsafed any information regarding the original trouble and the cause of their separation but each spoke to strangers in the highest terms of the other.
 On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Magaw spoke hopefully of the recovery of the child. though her hope was not genRr- ally shared. and said that if she could leave on the next train she would be able to reach Brookline in time for joyful Christmas. Barring an accident she will arrive on time.
 She had accomplished great deal in exactly two weeks. She left Boston on December with a vague notion of her destination, somewhere in southern California She spent days traversing a broad area before she learned defi-' nitely her husbands location: she was obliged after finding it. to make stage ride over an Arizona desert. and then to come to Phoenix for the final con- test in which she had sympathy but could receive no material aid.
 Compared with this long journey, the quest for the Holy Grail or the hunt for the Golden Fleece were pitt fully small jaunts. But in the days of Jason there were no Pullman cars nor vet were there any in the later period of the Knights of Arthur
