.Ex-Rep.WdIsh
Defends Self
BY FRANK MORRIS

MASON, Marc h ID Former
Rep. Edward J. Walsh of Detroit
personally pleaded with the jury
here today to free him of the
charge that he took about 5000 in
bribes from Michigan naturePaths
during the 1889 session.
Walsh is the only one of the
seven defendants without legal
counsel.
AS the trial drew TO close, the
former legislator arose and argued
in calm voice that the state mad
failed to prove him guilty.
WALSH OWN ATTORNEY
"The only witness against me
was Harry Williams, the lobby
ist for the naturOpaths," Walsh
contended. HE first testified
he had not met me until March
of 1899. Later he testified he
WI
uary 10 of that year.
HE said he had a bar In his
room at the Olds Hotel and that
was frequent visitor, along
with 80 or 40 other lawmakers.
Yet the state failed to produce
single witness who says that I
was in his room at any time.
THE truth is that l never was
in his room and never was paid
a dollar.
II was merely minority
Democrat in the House. His
bill was in the Senate, where 1
could be of no aid"
BANK RECORDS CITED
Frank Blackman of jackson
attorney fer Senator Carl + Del
ano. argued that bank records
prove that Williams testimony
was false.
williams testified that he
drew $1,000 from the bank on
May %, 1899, and took the
money Immediately TO Senator
DelanO." Blackman said. "The
bank records show he drew
$1,000 that day. These records
show that his story was an inn
possibility"
Special Prosecutor Kim Siglel
will complete his final argument
this afternoon. Judge John Simp-
son may not instruct the Jury ol
nine women and five men until to-
morrow morning.
