CHICAGO, March 21.— (United Press)—William D. Shepherd, who is tempo- rarily stalled in his efforts to be released on bond, must continue as a prisoner in the county jail. The man who 4s accused of mur- dering his milltonaire ward, Billy McClintock, in order to get the huge McClintock fortune, appeared in court today while his attorneys argued with Judge Jacob Hopkins to release him on bond. The motion was bitterly contested by States At- torney Robert E. Crowe, who insists | that Shepherd must remain a pris oner until’a jury him inno- | cent. " | After stormy” session of argu- ments between opposing counsel and | after Shepherd was ced by _his chief accuséry Dr. Charles C. Pat! man. Judge Hopkins continued th» hearing over until Monday when it will be decided’ whether or not Shep- herd may be released. Crowe in his efforts to show Judge Hopkins that he had a strong case against Shepherd—strong enough to warrant-keeping him a prisoner —put Dr, Faiman on the stand The dapper head of the National University of Sciences related his story of giving three tubes of ty- phold germs to Shepherd for the uu- derstood purpose of poisoning Billy McClintock. There was 10 doubt about it, Faiman said, Shepherd had planned for many months to murder his wealthy ward in order ¢o get the estate. William Scott Stewart, attorney for Shepherd, took advantage of Pei man’s appearance on the stand and tried to, cross-examine him, but Crowe 6bjected and was sustained by the court on the ground that Stewart should not be allowed to learn the state’s cntlre case before the actual trial starts. Smiling pleasantly and apparent- ly not at all disturbed by the know- ledge he had been {ndicted as an ac- cessory to the allegid murder, Dr. Faiman repeated briefly the story he told Crowe when he made his signed confession. Severa] times, Faiman said, Shepherd came to his school and’ in- quired about courses in bacteriology: “He told me he wes a lawyer and wanted to study the subject form tho legal aspect” the doctor explain- e nds “I showed him through the school, let him look at my ‘collection of germs through a microscope then showed him the germ Incuba- } tor's."" Faiman then told of se } ferences held in Chicago hotels when | Shepherd had quizzed hint xbout the affect of germs on the humar body. It was not unlll June of the follow- ing year at a luncheon date that Shepherd had mentioned his ward Billy McClintock, he testified. Then he told Faiman that his ward was DECISION REVISED TOLL IN TORNADO Llinois City Dead Missing Inj.
