Justice to-day a petition to be signed
by hundreds of thousands Of SYM
pathizers" urging President Taft to
pardon the aged prisoner. An exhibit
of letters from thousands of persons,
bound in twenty-five volumes was
submitted in support of the petition.
The petition, which is a printed
pamphlet of 80 pages, is signed by
the prisoners wife and two sons,
Mary L. Walsh, Richard w. and John
w. Walsh. After the documents have
been examined at the pardon bureau
they will be forwarded to the Presi-

Walsh was sentenced December 3.

THE charge upon which he wal
convicted does not involve actua
