Attorney Buckingham said last nightProud of Previous Career

His career previous to the bank trou-ble was notable He was public spiritedand of groat constructive genius AUthrough the Middle West stand greatindustrial financial and transportationorganizations a monument to Lsgenius None of his money went intspeculation or setftadulgnce All of itwent to the bonding of railroads an-other Industries which give employmentto thousands of people and add to thedevelopment of the country

The charge on which he was convicteddoes not Involve actual moral tnrpitudbill only violation of the technical rul3of jaw regulating bankJog was a

of improvement banking loans butnot of dishonesty

The application for pardon based onthe e considerations is intended to saveto Mr Walsh and to his family the fewmonths of life which under favorablesurroundings may remain to him

Affony and HumiliationMr Walsh has suffered untold

and humiliation in the toss of the wealthpower and position which were oncehis In the loss of his large personal fortune he has been penalised beyond thelines exacted for most human misdeedsHis punishment in actual incarcerationalone is already enough to satisfy themost rigorous requirements of the law

Under the department rules governingsuch applications we have Sled it withtho Assistant Attorney General in chargeof pardons whence it goes in regularcourse eventually to the President

After a long career Walsh was Indicted and placed on trial in the NorthernDistrict Court of Illinois presidedby Judge A B Anderson of Indiana inOctober 1M7 Ho was found guilty andan appeal was noted The Circuit Courtof Appeals affirmed the sentence of fiveyears a life sentence to him sad he wasdelivered to the United States marshal atonto
