Appeals court denies immediate commitment for Walsh
The court rejects the government's petition for Walsh’s immediate commitment to custody. Walsh may enjoy personal liberty but will remain under constant surveillance. Reports suggest United States Steel may buy Walsh’s railroads Chicago Southern and Southern Indiana for 25.9 to 27 million dollars with J P Morgan handling an option payment of 109 thousand dollars. The move would merge Walsh roads into a single system under steel trust influence.
