NOT TO BE PARD0NED
JOHN r. WALSH HAS LITTLE
HOPE OF CLEMENcY.
Neither the Chicago Banker or
Charles w. Morse Of New York to
Escape Allotted Punishment.

Washington, March 28.-John r.
Walsh of Chicago, the aged banker
who Is now serving a sentence in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth,
Kan, on the charge of violating the
national banking Law. will not be par
doned by President Taft,
Instead, he will be kept in confine-
ment until September Is Of this year,
when he will be released on parole.
The president will refuse also to
pardon Charles ". Morse of New
York. convicted banker now in the
penitentiary at Atlanta. The official
announcement of the presidents de-
cfsion in the two cases, which he is
considering together, will probably be
rendered in few days. The informa-
ton concerning the Intentions OF the
president in both cases was obtained
from source so close to the chief
executive that it may be regarded as
absolutely authoritative.
1t was stated also that the presi-
dent, acting on the recommendation
OF the attorney general. will even
deny Communication in the Morse
case
For about month II has been &C
cepted that the president would not
be asked by the department of justice
to issue a pardon for Walsh, notwith-
standing the fact that thousands of
people had signed a petition asking
for clemency in the case of the aged
banker. Walsh's application was con
sidered in the regular way, first by
the attorney in charge of pardons in
the department OF justice, who re-
ported to the attorney general and
then by Attorney General Wickersham
himself, who sent the papers and his
recommendation to the president
shortly before the chief executive
went south for his vacation several
weeks ago.
1t is reasonably certain that Attor-
ney General Wickersham's recon-
mendation was unfavorable to Walsh,
and the indications are that he took
the same attitude towards Morse. In
considering the Walsh case both the
pardon attorney and the attorney gen
eral laid stress on the fact that under
the new parole law, Walsh will be en-
titled to his release in September.
The intended action of the president
in both cases Is official denial OF the
reports that the two bankers are dan
gerously Ill as result OF their con-
flnement. 1t has been repeatedly as
serted that Walsh, who was SEN
fenced to five years, has been failing
rapidly and that his death was immi-
nent If his pardon was delayed.
Similar reports were circulated con-
corning Morse. who was sentenced to
| Is years, and who has served but one
Of them. 1t Is known that the presi-
! dent and the attorney general have
| kept In touch with the health OF the
| prisoners through the penitentiary
