WALSH FREE TILL
FINAL JUDGMENT

Chicago. Oct. 30-John r. Walsh,
whose conviction of misuse of the
funds of the Chicago National bank
was recently affirmed by the United
states appellate court, may remain at
liberty under bonds pending an attempt
TO appeal his case to the supreme court
of the United States.
The decision making this possible was
rendered in the appellate court today
when Judge Grosscup denied the petit
ton OF the government to have the
Walsh bond Of $50, 900 Cancelled. Mr..
walsh, hitherto allowed to travel about
the country, must now, however, re-
main in Chicago.
The governments petition set forth
that Walsh, with a sentence of five
years imprisonment confronting him,
and with plenty of money at his COM
mand, could we'll afford to leave the
country. repaying his bondsmen.
He Agrees to Surrender.
In answer counsel for the defendant,
among other things, pledged Mr..
Walsh's word that he would not at
tempt to leave the United States, and
that should his petition for a rehear-
ing by the appellate court be denied
and the supreme court go against him,
he would at once surrender himself.
Judge Grosscup said:
Nothing Is brought to our attention
in the petition that shows any greater
likelihood hat the plaintiff in error
will not remain in the jurisdiction of
the court to answer to the final order
of the court, han ordinarily exists in
criminal cases at this stage Of the pro-
cedure.
TT sustain, therefore, the prayer Of
this petition would be to say that no
convicted man, whose conviction has
been affirmed, shall be allowed to be
out on bail, pending a petition for re-
hearing, or an application to the SUI
preme court. for writ of certiorari.
Detectives on His Trail.
This action does not, however, pre-
clude the government from keeping
plaintiff in error under such surveil-
lance as it may deem proper, nor for
asking for increased bail. The mat
ter of increased bail is not before US
on this petition"
Mr.. Walsh is said to have been placed
under constant scrutiny of five govern.
ment agents last night.
