L1NGERED ALL SUNDAY
Shock Of Coming From Prison and
Being With His Family Was
Too Much for the Aged
Man.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Banker John R.
Walsh, aged "a, died at his home here
this morning from an attack Of heart
disease.
Walsh had just returned from a
term of Imprisonment at the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kas., where
he had been sentenced to serve five
years on a charge of bank wrecking.
The financier complained of feeling
tired Sunday and did not
arise as usual His son-in-
law, DR.. L. Blake Baldwin,
administered stimulants. Throughout
the morning Walsh was quiet, as il
exhausted At noon he became rapid
ly worse. The family physician was
summoned when the patient exper-
fenced an alarming sinking spell.
From then on until evening it was a
constant battle of the physicians to
keep the spark Of life in the aged
mans body.
| Early his morning, in the presence
of the entire family, he passed peace
fully away. Members of his family
today expressed the belief that the
bankers death was directly due te
morbid brooding over his condition
They say that Walsh was greatly af
fected by the long confinement ant
when released his constitution wa
not strong enough to bear the shocl
of seeing familiar faces and beini
with his family again During tn
