gift of two theater tickets cast upon the
waters in San Francisco two years ago,
has returned to Albert ID. Walk, now
serving two years in Utah prison for
obtaining money under false pretenses,
in the shape of a pardon.
Walk met b. II. Brainerd, formerly an
Illinois sheriff, on n train enroute to
San Francisco two years ago. Brainerd s
first business venture failed and he
found himself without money and greatly
discouraged. Walk accidentally learned
of Bralnerd's misfortunes, loaned him
500 and sent Brainerd and his wife to
the theater to cheer them up.
When Brainerd. who had prospered in
the insurance business, heard last Sep
TENDER that Walk was serving a sem
tence in Utah, he appeared before the
Utah Board of Pardons and made an
earnest plea for his former benefactor.
lie promised to give him employment
At a good salary
The board notified Walk today that he
will be released in custody OF Brainerd
provided he agrees to repay the money
wrongfully obtained and reimburses the
state for the money expended in extra
diting him from Pennsylvania.
