GRAY AND BENT WITH YEARS,
WALSH ENTERS CELL WITH
A BRAVE FRONT.
SLEEPS ON AN IRON COT
With Secret Belief That He Viii Never
Live to Finish His Sentence. Unless
He Is Pardoned. Hidden Beneath a
Mask Of Cheerfulness, Finaneier Be-
gins q Five Year Term.

Lcavenworth. Kan. Jan. la.-On a
little iron cot in a cell Of the federal
prison here. John II. Walsh. who to-
day began serving five-year SEN
tence for misapplying funds of the
Chicago National bank. spent his first
night in the penitentiary. If the
change from luxurious room in his
Calumet avenue mansion in Chicago
to a small barred space worked a
hardship on the prisoner. he did not
show it. He has accepted his new
situation with smiling good grace. He
is outspoken in his approval of the
kindly manner in which he has been
treated since his arrival at noon to-
day.
But behind his brave front there is
believed to be a secret belief in his
own mind that he never will live out
his sentence. Tonight it became known
that, while Walsh was talking in pri-
vate with an old friend. a man. like
himself, whom he has known for half
a century. he remarked sadly:
Il don't believe / ever shall live out
my sentence If am not pardoned. -
The new surroundings did not make
Walsh-who is, known as convict
cell tonight and read until the big
o'clock. Then he disrobed and re-
tired. When a guard passed the cell
a few minutes later. the ex-banker
was sleeping peacefully.
When the convicted banker was
shown his cell he asked several ques-
tions about rules governing his incar-
ceration.

Little attempt was made today to
teach the new prisoner the rules.
Prison officials thought it best not to
burden his mind with little details of
prison life until he had become thor
oughly rested from the trip. Many
persons who saw the convicted finan-
cier enter the prison today with

he was settled inside the walls. 1t
was said that Walsh was straining
every point to make himself appear
cheerful before his friends. Few men.

this gray-ha.red convict. have walked
so calmly into prison as he did.
Warden II. W. McClaughrey. an old
personal friend of Walsh. was one of
those who feared the prisoner might
suffer relapse. But after talking
with him tonight he said:

Moses Was an InSureent.

James Manahan says it takes a
lot of courage to be an insurgent,
but it took more in ancient times.
In the August number of Norman
Mack's National Monthly in speak
ing of the ancient insurgents Mr..
Manahan says:
1T takes a lot of courage to be
an insurgent now, but it took more
in those days, and Moses was the
first insurgent.
Under considerable obligation to
the system. the kings own daughter
having reared him, self interest
suggested a sane career for him
along the lines of party solidarity
and financial responsibility, but the
bondage of his people hurt, and his
conscience called aloud like the
voice of God.
Furthermore, Aaron talked as
only a great democrat can talk, of
the hopelessness of trying to a
long continued tyranny. Moses
and Aaron worked together and
finally decided to get their people
out of the country at any cost.
1T was big undertaking, for the
system controlled the highways and
all the boat lines on the Red Sea.
Like the true insurgents of every
age, they dared face the water
without boats, for oblivion has no
terrors worse than slavery. The
sea receded. They found the prom
ised land and left us a brave his
tory. Meanwhile, in Egypt, the
system and its victims. king, boss,

persisted in spite of the productive
