From the Warsaw Daily Union newspaper 12 Feb 1906: Walter Brown GIves Up Hope Of Getting Pardon - Walter Brown, the Elkhart bank wrecker, has abandoned all effort to secure his release by appeal from the Ft. Leavenworth federal prison and resigned himself to his fate. This information has been brought by one of the deputy marshals who went to Ft. Leavenworth with a federal prisoner. It is also said that Brown's conduct has improved and he no longer is classed among the fractious prisoners. As a result he is being given credit by Warden McLaughry abd his term will be shortened thereby. Brown also has abandoned all hope of being granted executive clemency. He is not playing the sick dodge any longer and in appearance looks as good as the majority of healthy prisoners. Collins also has resigned himself to his fate and Brodrick's good humor and philosophic view of the situation have undergone no change.
