John r. Walsh of Chicago Sentenced
to a Federal Prison.

10 TSuSid al ETiSSHs
Unless the supreme court Of the
United States intervenes. John L.
Walsh. former railroad builder, bank
er and 20 litician of Chicago, must
serve five years in the federal prison
at Fort Leavenworth. The United
States circuit court of appeals has 50
decided in the case of the convicted
millionaire.
Walsh was found guilty of the mis-
appropriation of the funds of the Chi
cago National bank on Jan. %, 1908,
twenty months ago. The verdict came
at the crisis of a career spectacular i'll
it's rise. Walsh had achieved reCogni-
ton as a railroad builder and banker
after starting as newsboy in Ran
dolph street.
He was u newsbOy who became a
muitimillionaire, Il power In politics.
ruler of men. one of the greatest finan-
cial characters in the country, whose
influence was felt through city, county,
state and even national politics. and
he fell because he had won enemies:
because his creed of trampling upon all
who opposed him finally added to the
ranks of his enemies until they were
too powerful for him to fight against.
Then they overthrow him. and the mil
lions vanished.
His downfall came when he used
the funds of the Chicago National
bank, controlled by him, to put through
a railroad deal by which he expected
to gain personally. according to the
jury's verdict That was the point
upon which the whole trial turned
whether Walsh was acting for the good
of his banks or for the good Of himself.

AN UNNECESSARY WASTE OF
TIME

Unquestionably one of the mediums
through which law is brought into con-
tempt and Justice is cheated of its dues
is the system tolerated in the examina-
ton of witnesses. It may be the priv
lege Of an attorney defending his client
at the bar, who is charged with an of
Tense which ON conviction will consign
him to imprisonment and to heavy fine,
to indulge in the fullest latitude in his
examination Of witness, but there
should be a limit dictated by common
sense.
It may be perfectly legitimate for an
attorney, having a serious case with no
plausible defense, TO strive to confuse
and to confound the witnesses for the
State, but when the common sense limit
has been reached, the courts interposi-
ton should be manifested decisively.
The observation would apply 10 the
States attorney as well, if he ventured
into an unnecessary inquiry simply to
#10HouAiC lhAl1.
This criticism is suggested by listen
ing attentively to the query of States
witnesses by attorneys employed to de
fend men on trial, charged with the vio-
iation of law If the facts are desired,
the facts should be obtained within rea-
son, but no witness should be subjected
to an unnecessary irnpaling before the
court and the spectators therein.
On the criminal calendar for the week
have been assigned the trial of a num-
Der of cases. 1t has been understood
that these cases would be given speedy
attention, at least that is the purpose of
the State, and it is fair, since, if there
be any man held who is not guilty, such
a man should be relieved of the odium
Of the discredit against him by being
honorably discharged by acquittal.
It would seem that delay is the motive
of the defendants, and this can be con-
sumnated by the courts indulgence of
a waste Of time by plying witnesses with
queries not bearing on the cases and
having no direct or important connec-
ton with the facts in the case.
Fl Ii safe to say that in no courts of
Europe, England or France for instance,
would such unnecessary delay be toler-
ated. Let common sense with the full
est measure of equity prevail, in the
best efforts at reaching the facts, but
unnecessary delays, the delays which
consume time without adding to the
facts, should be ruled out Of order.

Little Lads Play at "Trial' and Almost

IN JUSTICE TO THE LAW
ABIDING

When the law of prohibition became
effective in Caddo parish, including
Shreveport, on january / Of the present
year, a number Of men engaged in the
traffic of intoxicants closed their bars
and announced that they would respect
and obey the law Among this number
there were those who, in connection with
their groceries, had their annex, at
which was provided refreshments for
their customers, and these confined their
beverages strictly to Near Beer
t was not long when these men, abid-
ing By the law, discovered that certain
class Of their customers were gradually
leaving them, and on inquiry were told
without reserve that they would not
drink Near Beer which was insipid
and nauseating, and would go where the
beer which is beer could be obtained for
the asking. Not only did these dealers
not sell this Near Beer which be-
came stale and spoiled, but they lost a
percentage of their customers who had
been attracted to the places where the
beer Is sold.
Il Is through the defiance of law that
the conservative and law-abiiing suf-
fers, and these should have the fullest
protection through the enforcement of
the law. and therefore The men who
have openly and flagrantly dehed the
law should be held amenable to the full
est limit. There may be sympathy for
the man who through ignorance disre-
CARDS the law, but there can be no ex-
cuse much less consideration, for the
man who would defy the law and treat
il with contempt.
