sideration of the facts in each case, I
have no doubt that Morse should have
received 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, tho
president protested against the failure
to discriminate between legitimate
business and improper gain.
Honest Methods BecIouded.
''The truth u.s." he said, that in
the mad rush for wealth in the last
few decades the lines between profit
from legitimate business and impropes
gain from undue use of trust control
over other peoples property and mon.
ey has sometimes been dimmed and
the interest of society requires that
whenever opportunity offers thosn
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
the presidents action having no bear
ing whatever upon future application
for parole. Morse began his 15-yea,
term in the Atlanta penitentiary in
January, 1910, also. In denying his
application the president granted
leave to renew it after Jan. i, 1918
Under the parole law Morse would
be eligible for release in 1915.
The pleas Of i'll health and REIN
bursement Of all depositors in the
Morse ana Walsh banks were made il
both cases.
