bulk window in front of Mr.. Thorn S
store on Main street. Failing in this,
the party broke through the pane of

Prison he will Make Vigorous

General.

Chicago. ILL.,, May 11.-Before
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman
in the United States Circuit Cou OF
Appeals, arguments were begun to-
day in the appeal Of John R. Walsh
who was convicted some months age
OF misapplying the funds OF the Chlca-
20 National Bank, of which he was
president.
That Walsh intends to keep up a
vigorous fight for mis- freedom is eyl-
denced by the fact that he has retain
ed David S. Rose. mayor OF MhlWau-
kee and one of the acknowledged
leaders of the Milwaukee bar, as as
sociate counsel with John S. Miller,
the eminent Chicago lawyer who has
had charge of Walsh's case from the
start. If all efforts of counsel fail,
then the former banker and railroad
president must serve his sentence OF
five years in the Federal prison at
Fort Lavenworth.
Public interest in the Walsh case
was revived a week OF SO 6 when
the name of the former president OF
the Chicago National Bank was
brought out in the demonstration in
the affairs of Peter Van Vlissingen,
the Chicago real estate man, who was
sent to prison for forgeries aggregat-
ing nearly $4,000, 900. But whether

Walsh is believed to have but a
meagre remnant left of his once large
fortune. The failure of his bank pre-
ceded his W downfall n since then
be has seen the two Indiana railroads
for which he made such great sacr1-
fees pass from his hands into the
control of others. Until the crash
came he was reckoned among the
shreWdest financiers in h West.
Starting his career as a homeless
neWsboy, he had grown to be a mil
lionaire several times over. But his
ambition to become a railroad mag
nate finally got the better of his judg-
ment, and eventually brought about
his .fuination.
The grand jury investigation which
led to his indictment showed amazing
conditions of rottenness in Walsh's
bank 1t was charged that he put the
banks money into his pocket in
amounts exceeding $1,000 900 at a time.
In foul years he realized nearly 3d.
