Exciting Scene in Station at

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 21.-Main-
tanning the same brave attitude that
he has displayed ever since his first in
dictment, John r. Walsh today began
his fve-year sentence in the federal
prison here for misapplying the funds
of the Chicago National bank.
Despite his long night ride from Chi
cage and the natural weakness which
m with his advanced age, ~ years,
he gave 10 more sign OF worry or dis
tress thar IL he had come here TO tran
sact q business matter, instead of
starting a prison term. He stepped
briskly into the warden's office upon
his arrival. Throughout the prelimi-
naries which preceded his imprison-
ment proper he passed calmly without
a trace of nervousness or undue ex.
citement.
Marched Away by Guard.
At 1906 p. m. John r. Walsh. banker,
~financier, railroad builder and newspa-
per owner, arrived at the prison, 20
minutes later the one time master Of
millions, but now simple convict 1851
was marched away by a guard. The
gray haired man had begun his SEN
tence.
Fate decreed that the aged bank
wrecker should be registered as a
criminal at the penitentiary by a friend
of his boyhood days, Warden r., w.
McClaughry, former chief of police of
Chicago. He and Walsh were chums in
their youth in Chicago. They had not
seen each other in years until today.
AS Walsh entered the warden's office
Major McCiaughry arose and offered
his hand. Within 20 minutes after the
warden's Office had been reached the
preliminary arrangements for Walsh
beginning his sentence had been ar
ranged. He shook hands with his son,
John w. Walsh, his soninlaw, DR.. L..
Blake Baldwin, his attorney, 4. G..

Hoy and Middleton, who accompanied
him
Cheerful to the Last.
"Goodby ALL" he said firmly, and then
there were a few words between them,
such as friends would exchange upon
a casual meeting.
That was all; the aged prisoner did
not seek to take advantage of his
friendship with the warden by asking
for special favors during his incarcera-
ton.
