 ship of Youth.

I-eavenworth, Kan, Jan. 19.-Main- taining the same brave attitude that he has displayed ever since he was first indicted, John R. Walsh today be gan his five-year sentence in the fed eral prison here for misapplying the funds of the Chicago National Bank.
 Despite his long night ride from Chicago and the natural weakness which comes with his advanced age, he gave no more sign of worry or dis tress than if he had come here to transact business matter instead of starting ap rison term. He stepped briskly into the wardens office upon his arrival Throughout the prelim- inaries, which preceded his impris- onment proper, he passed calmly with out a trace of nervousness or undue excitement.
 At l2:06 D. m. MT. Walsh arrived at the prison Twenty minutes later the one time master of millions, but now a simple convict, was marched away by guard.
 Fate deereed that the aged bank wrecker should be registered as a criminal at the penitentiary by a friend of his boyhood days, Warden R. W. McClaughey. They had not seen each other in years until today.
