BECURI -ITY COMPANY. DEPARTMENT R. 87 SOUTH IWT™ S-HtEET. ILUNftja. IINIICI OF GUILT FORJOHNR.WALSH Former Newspaper Owner and Manipulator of Bank and * Trust Company Finances .Fails on His Appeal. CHICAGO, Oct. s.—The verdict of the trial court which found John R. Walsh guilty of' misapplication of the funds of the Chicago National bank, was affirmed by the United States circuit court of ap peals here today. Mr. Walsh must serve the sentence o( five years’ imprisonment imposed upon him by the trial jury, unless the supreme court upsets today's affirmation of the verdict of guilty. • - Counsel for Mr. Walsh in their appeal laid the greatest stress on what they al leged was a lack of criminal Intent on the part of the defendant. In their very lengthy brief much law was quoted to show that the convicted banker, newspa per publisher and railroad owner used the funds of the bank in what he con sidered a legitimate manner. . , OPINION IS BRIEF. The opinion of the court of appeals, written by Judge Humphrey and handed down by Judge Grosscup. is brief and confined almost wholly to the question of criminal intent. The allegation that Juror Palmer was unduly influenced le dismissed with a word, and but 11'.tie more is wasted in eliminating the alle- ; gation of inconsistency and repugnancy. , The opinion says that if there Is no inconsistency in the verdict as to the substance of the charges in the various counts, there is no reason to disturb the verdict on the ground‘of inconsistency. | As to Juror Palmer the opinion says the record does not show that any improper influence worked upon the jury and that the attempt by one of the jurors after the verdict to impeach his verdict can have no consideration. NO ERROR IN INSTRUCTIONS In the instructions given the jury by' Judge Anderson in the trial court the higher tribunal finds no error. As to tiMr lack of criminal intent the opinion reads: j "Under section 5209 there could be mis- ; application of bank funds by an officer which would be innocent and not criminal and there could be misapplication which | under the statutes would be criminal. ; What would show the difference between misapplication which were criminal and j those which were not; what would show , innocence or guilt; good faith or bad faith; the court sought by instruction carefully to define and we think did fairly define.” Counsel for Mr. Walsh have 30 days in which to file application for a re hearing by the court of appeals. Mean while he will be at liberty under hla present bond of SSO,<XX). FITE PUTS ANOTHER GAUGER UNDER BOND Following close upon his action in the Stegall case. Judge A. W. Fite has placed B. P. Thompson, Stegall’s suc cessor, under a S3OO bond to appear at the next term of Dade county supe rior court and testify in prosecution of the Cureton distillery at Rising Fawn. Charles E. Stegall was recently put in Jail by Judge Fite, because the former, then storekeeper and gauger at the distillery, refused to answer cer tain questions asked him by the court. On a writ of habeas corpus issued by judge William T. Newman, of the United States district court for the northern district of Georgia, Stegall was finally released. His case, involv ing the question as to whether or not such a revenue official shall be required to give out information obtained in his official capacity, is now pending before Judge Newman. It is contended by the United States attorneys that such in formation as Judge Fite desired could nave been obtained through regular and legalized channels from the department of internal revenue at Washington, but that a storekeeper and gauger cannot lawfully divulge it. While this question, Is yet undecided by the United States cdurt. Judge Fite has repeated his former policy in serv ing Thompson with a subpena and placing him under an appearance bond. The foregoing information was re ceived through a special dispatch to The Journal from Chattanooga early Tuesday afternoon. Inquiry at the cus tom house was met with reticence on the part of tne officials there. Judge Fite himself is now under sub pena to appear in the United States court Thursday and testify in the Stegall case. “CREEPING ERUPTION” PUZZLE TO DOCTORS PENSACOLA.

This is said to be the first case of the kind in the south and the fourth case known in the United States.

SETTLE TROLLEY WAR IN CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, Oct. 5.—A conference' was held today to arrange final details which will result In an absolute settle ment of the local street railway situa tion. which has been bitterly agitated for eight years. During the life of the con troversy it has been a political issue at all time. Partial settlements have been made and many proposed, but all have failed of tneir ooject. Now peace is as sured. The basis of the strife has been Mayor Tom L. Johnson's contention for three cent fares. The proposed settlement will be upon this rate of fare and will elimi nate the street car question from the fall camprJgn. All the main points have been settled It ie agreed that the city shall give the Cleveland Railway company, the owner of the local lines, a 25-year franchise, re vokable at any time if the details of the contract with the city is violated. The city reserves the right to purchase the lines at any time municipal ownership is made lawful, providing the city then desires to purchase. The city also reserves the right to name a purchaser after eight years. The ini tial rate of fare is to be three cents on all lines, with a one-cent extra charge for a transfer. Both the city and the railway company have agreed to let Judge Robert W. Tay ler, of the United States court, determine the value of the railway property and the maximum rate of fare. It is agreed that at no time shall the rate of fare be greater than will allow the company an earning of more than 6 per cent on the value of the property, consistent with good service. Judge Tayler has indicated that he will make the maximum rate of fare four cents for cash fare and the regular ticket rate seven tickets for twenty-five cents and a cent extra for transfers. This proposition has been accepted both by the city and the railway company.

Oct. s.—Unless some change of heart shall alter a decision an nounced today by Wilbur Wright, the spectacular flight made here over the harbor and up the river yesterday by the daring Dayton aviator is the last which ho or his brother Orville propose to make in public. "Hereafter," said Mr. Wright today, "we shalt devote all our efforts to the commercial exploitation of our machines, and only fly as a matter of experiment to test the value of whatver changes we decide to make in their construction.” Mr. Wright added that neither he nor his brother wished to be looked upon as showmen and that all offers to fly for ex hibition purposes would be rejected by them. "The flight of yesterday,” said he, "was more than an exhibition. It was more like the taking up of a challenge or the making of a record to stand as a mile stone in the history of aerial navigation. 1 would have done better than I did had not the blowing of a cylinder of my machine prevented me from making a second flight; but, all things considered. I am satisfied with my performance of the morning.” WOMAN KILLS MAN ASLEEP ON COUCH MEMPHIS. Tenn..
