Charles W. Morse and John
R. Walsh Denied PardOnS
ALSO TO SHORTEN TERMS
But President Taft Did Grant Morse the
Right to Renew His Petition for Par
don After January /, lo13--His
Statement Issued Last Night.

| Washington, D c., May 25 Presi-
dent Taft last night denied the appli-
cation for the pardon Of Charles w.
Morse Of New York and John r.
Walsh Of Chicago, the two most prom
inent bankers ever sent to prison UNI
der the national banking law Not
only did he refuse to pardon either
/! Morse or Walsh. but he also declined
to exercise any sort of legislative
/ elemency in these cases or shorten the
sentences imposed upon the two men
However, he granted Morse leave to
renew his petition after January |,
! 1913
In denying the pardon the presi-
dent declared that the national bank
/ ing laws or any laws must be upheld
when they effect the rich men even
more than when they affect the poor.
The record in the Walsh case the
president said in long opinion "shows
moral turpitude of that insidious and
dangerous kind and to punish which
the national banking laws were es-
peeially enacted
/ NJ NbHHlutliuB the tHsB OF morse the
president said that from considera-
ton Of the facts in each case have no
doubt that Morse should have re-
ceiyed a heavier sentence than Walsh.
Indeed, the methods taken by Morse
tend to show that more keenly than
Walsh did he realize the evil Of what
he was doing
In his opinion in the Walsh case
the president protests against the fail
IRE to discriminate between legitimate
business and improper gain
The truth is he says that in the
mad rush for wealth in the last few
decades, the lines between profit from
legitimate business and improper gain
from undue use Of trust control over
other peoples PROPERTY and money has
sometimes been dimmed and the in
terest of society requires that when
ever opportunity offers. those charged
with the enforcement OF the law should
emphasize the distinction between
honest business and dishonest breaches
Of trust"
The presidents denial Of the pardon
applications of Morse and Walsh does
not mean that they must stay in prison
until the end of their terms Walsh
began sentence of five years in the
Leavenworth penitentiary in January
1910, and under the federal parole law
is eligible for parole next September.
Morse began has l5-year term at At
lanta in January, 1910, also. He is
eligible for parole in 1915
Both Morse and Walsh made strong
efforts to have the president exercise
clcmency Mrs Morse got up a monster
petition which was signed by scores
of members of Congress and other
prominent persons and former Senator
Hale of Maine did much in her behalf
The pleas of i'll health and reimburse
ment of all depositors in the Morse
and Walsh banks were made in both
cases
Both applications were scanned at the |
department Of justice by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham and his assistants and
both were read with care by the |
president himself His action last
night was in accord with the recon.
mendations of Mr.. Wickersham.

Who asked you 10 give trust demo-
crst the preference over an antitrust

to amend the antitrust law by weak
