Chlcaa-o. Nov. II. -John R. Walsh'a
plea for Immunity will be decided Mon
day. His attorneys will press the point
closely, seeing In It th last hope Of
the former banker to escape the haiard
of being sent o the penitentiary by
a Jury.
The whole matter rests en the deci
sion of Judge Anderson on the question
of admissibility of the books of tbe cor
poration known' as tne "waian rail
roads" as evidence against the finan
cier. ' "
The defense Insists -that the govern
ment baa no right to Introduce the
books of tbe Indiana Southern and other
railroads controlled by ' Walsh as evi
dence against him on the ground that
the roads were owned by Walsh him
self and the constitution, by Its fourth
snd fifth amendments vouchsafes to a
defendent protection from testimony
which he Is compelled to give against
himself.
Attorney! for Mr. Walsh take the
stand that-use of the books of tbe
Walsh roads seised by the government
csnnot legail y be made against the de
fendant, because that would be virtu
ally compelling htm to testify against
himself.
The question of adducing evidence
from tbe railroad ledgers waa unde
cided by the court when adjournment
waa taken.
Without this evidence it Is predicted
the efforts of the district attorney to
secure a conviction against Walsh msy
be hopeless.
rknk examiner Edward P. Moxey.
the government's main witness, was on
ths stand when the mooted question
came up for decision yesterday after

, on you the fact that Monarch
Malleable Ranges are entirely
different in construction and

and so far superior in . every
way that there is no compan

is lighter in weight, than an
ordinary cast-steel top. A lighter

See the point? A few of the
food features we will be pleased to show you are the duplex draft burns all the coal; duplex grates

idle talk, but facts which we are only too glad to prove to your entire satisfaction. Come in you don't
need all the money; just bring a deposit of $5 to show your good faith, and well ttt up the range and
give you the turkey all in good time for the Thanksgiving dinner.
