        "text": "Per Curiam.\nThis claim is for six months of back salary. Trooper Walsh and the Department of Law Enforcement became embroiled in a dispute resulting in Trooper Walsh submitting his resignation. However, before the resignation became effective, Trooper Walsh withdrew the resignation. The Department of Law Enforcement then stated that the resignation had already been accepted and that Trooper Walsh could not withdraw same. They removed Trooper Walsh from their payroll effective October 15, 1973. Trooper Walsh received no compensation from the State Police from that time until April 15,1975. On April 15, 1974, the State Police reinstated Mr. Walsh and immediately filed charges against him for the purpose of determining whether they should continue to employ Trooper Walsh notwithstanding the validity of his purported withdrawal of his resignation. Trooper Walsh was paid one day\u2019s salary for April 15, 1974. On April 24, 1974, Trooper Walsh sustained a heart attack and was hospitalized for six weeks. He has since been declared by his doctor to be unable to perform the duties of a State Police officer. Subsequently, the Department of Law Enforcement entered into an agreement with Trooper Walsh wherein they agreed to withdraw charges against him, have agreed to payment of six months of back salary and to place Trooper Walsh on a medical leave of absence and assist him in his attempts to obtain disability status in the Illinois State Employees\u2019 Retirement System in return for Trooper Walsh\u2019s resignation. The agreement is duly signed by Dwight E. Pitman, Director of the Illinois State Police, Francis Walsh and his attorneys.
