serving only seven years of his twenty
year sentence. Hugh NJ. Alcorn. state
attorney for Hartford County. who
prosecuted Walker, is investigating
evidence he holds to support two in
dictments never served on Walker.
He will either have Walker rear
rested for the next term of the Su-
perior Court, or will continue the cases
on the docket against the time the
Board OF Parole might make Walkers
release unconditional. Presidents Of
banks and insurance companies, state
officials ard other prominent citizens,
today protested TO Mr.. Alcorn against
permitting Walker 10 have his liberty.
Walker, who told Afr. Alcorn within
an hour after being sentenced on July
%, 1908. 'T'li never leave that prison
except in a pine box" will be taken
away for a rest tomorrow by his sis-
ter and her husband, State Referee

Up to the present time, however. the
correspondent is told, matters have
not gone beyond the point of con
terences, some OF which have been
held in the lebbies of the House OF

From the time when the two front

long prior TO the resignation of Sir
Edward Carson. bu, 1t Is an open Sc
eret that It liz Sir Edwards expert
ences in the Cabinet which have
caused him to exercise the greatest
restraint in publicly declaring the
conditions he found.
Sir Edward Carson's speech in the
House of Commons at the time Of his
resignation. demanding "a clearly de-
fined and well thought out policy on
the part of the government" consti-
tutes In nutshell the policy which
the new group intend to pursue. Sir
