District-Attorney Whitman poaltlvaly
tald to-day that he had made no prom
leee of Immunity to Capt Walsh. He
says hs Is through with granting im
munity. What consideration Is to be
given to man who confess hereafter Is
to be left to the court. The District

started something la the nature of a
enowball rolling down hill, and that
cumulative evident, will pile up auffl-
