Mr. Walsh Denies Charges
After being released on bail, Mr.
Walsh made the following statement :
"The charge in effect is that as
president of the bank 1 Kii?nt..i
port to the comptroller, which report,
it is now auegeu, is raise. The re
port in question would ordinarily
have been signed by the cashier, but
jy reason or nis temporary absence
it waa signed by me as a matter nf
course. The report referred to, how
ever, was undoubtedly correct in every
vai ucuiar. i nese racts will be clearly
established by the evidence if the
case reaches a stage when evidence is
produced. I believe, however, that a
more thorough investigation of the
facts by the Department of Justice and
a comparison of the report with the
bank books will convince the govern
ment that its action la 11111! fr,
and cannot be sustained.
"Any inference that might be drawn
from the comnlainf thut ihaf !,..
