January 19, 1910 – In a scene that would befit a man with no sense of shame, John R. Walsh, a convicted Chicago banker, stepped into the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, today, ready to serve his five-year sentence for misappropriating funds from the Chicago National Bank. The 52-year-old former banker arrived in Leavenworth after a long night ride from Chicago, but he showed no signs of worry or distress, acting as if he was merely transacting a business matter.
