Cagoan Application.

Leavenworth, Kan, oct. I'm

the board of paroles last meeting
the name of John r. Walsh, the Chi

ers, have been ordered released, it
is understood Walsh's hearing

are to be paroled, il is understood.
As the cases are taken up numeric-
ally by the board, this is thought TO
be an unfayorable sign for Walsh
1t is possible, of course, for the
board still 70 pass on Walsh's case,
but the fact it has been passed over
once without favorable recommen-
dation makes the outlook more dis
couraging for the former banker.

Bigamy Says He Will Plead
Giutly.

Joliet, HI, Oct 12-Rev. John Hor
ton of Beecher. H., will plead guilty
TO bigamy, according to a statement he
made in his cell at Joliet last night
He will throw himself on the mercy of
the court in the hope that leniency will
be extended. Horton said he had
made a mistake in not learning the
American divorce laws before taking
a second wife while legally married to
a first" He said he would not seek
bonds. but would await trial in his
cell

tended TO call special session of the
grand jury to secure Horizons indict-
ment. Such a course would be alb
surd." the official said. Il will let the
case take its place on the regular dock

take it's course finds no favor with Mrs

pastor of the Congregational church
until Sept 20. She haunted the streets
near the Jail yesterday and on two oc-
casions she was allowed to see the
prisoner and remained with him for
nearly an hour Their meetings were
affectiOnate, caresses and pledges of
eternal fealty being exchanged. Il will
always remain true to you, whether
free or behind bars Horton said to
the sobbing woman. Prison bars may
separate our bodies, but they cannot
kill our love-" she replied.

ton was married when she welded
him. This makes her liable to a charge
Of compOunding a felony. but States
