McClintock through typhoid germs. The prose- cution asks that the death penalty be imposed in case he is found guil- ty. The first veniremen examined were excused by the state after they had said they had conscientious scruples against capital punishment. Caught in the trail of disaster that has followed the McClintock fortune for generations, Wm. Shep- herd, the last titular owner, today faced trial for murder. He stood charged with slaying by the typhoid fever germs the last possessor of the $1,500,000 legacy. Shepherd counter charged that it was a plot fostered by a dozen cou- sins of McClintock to break the will in order to come in for a division of the fortune and thereby deprive him of his inherited rights. He en- tered an ipsolute denial of the twenty-one counts of the murder in- dictments. He was indicted March 18 in the midst of a coroner’s inquest institut- ed by Chief Justice Olson of thémun- icipal court, a friend of the McClin- tock family.

The Fargo Cynosure, published by the English department of the local high school was awarded first place in the weekly contest and will re- ceive the loving cup for this divi- sion. The “Owl” published by the Valley City high school students was a close second according to the judges The “Red and White”, a school, column in the Bowbells Tribune, pre- pared and edited by Bowbells high school English students was judged to be the best school paper presented in a regular weekly newspaper. In this section, Wimbledon’s column in the paper there was second. The judges reported a close de- cision between the Bismarck Prairie Annual, in the annual publication class. Bismarck ,was given the prize because of its photographic cut and art work and its appropriate page-head cuts. The “Zip” publication of Coopers- town high school was awarded first prize in the section of the contest among the periodical types. These were papers published as magazines in point of issue. Shortly after the award in this class was made the Hamilton high school “Splurg” was received, and was judged by the committee @s eligible to first place had it been received within the time limit for entry. The Hankinson high school “Criterion” was named as second place winner in this class. According to gr. Brown, the con- test this year brought in a larger number of papers and more perfect types of journals than before.

Mrs, Julia Shepherd, the defendant's wife hurried forward and kissed her husband. She had in- tended to sit behind him but instead was given a seat across the aisle. Shepherd’s first comment when brought into the court were those of a lawyer rather than one charged with a crime. He inquired whether the trial would be conducted speedily and whether Judge Lynch would b+ punctual. The. trial got under way at 10:36. Sometime before the court room was filled, there was a crowd outside the court room, each, person awaiting an opportunity to enter when someone would depart leaving a vacant seat. A special panel of 100 venire men have been summoned. Those of the special panel were called first. The interred bodies of Mrs. Mc- Clintock and Dr. Olson, buried six- teen and three years respectively, revealed mercury in sufficient amount in Mrs. McClintock to have caused death, examiners said but none was found in Dr. Olson's body.

He confessed he had supplied typhoid germs to Shepherd, taught him to keep them and to administer them to McClintock with assurance of fa- tal results and said that he was promised $100,000. Faiman, who has never been in jail but was guarded at a hotel until released on a nominal bond, was named as chief witness.

The fortune was founded by Wil- liam Hickling, a Briton, who came to America many years ago. Hints had 5 been given that his second wife ob- tained it by ‘poisoning her husband and that in turn she was poisoned by her second husband. Charges of this kind were later withdrawn. Mc- Clintock took as second wife, Emma Nelson, a stenographer, formerly of St. Mary’s, Kans: Soon after the birth of Billy, the elder McClintock was killed in utomobile accident.
