Dr. Faiman. who was questioned Saturday, again took the stand today and was asked to cover important points not already disclosed by him. ■ "Shepherd asked me for text books on bacteriology,” Dr. Faiman said. "I gave him the names of a few. Then I kave him my own lesson sheets on the subject, lie wauled all the in formation on the subject he could get.” Dr Faiman said he was questioned Justice Harry Olson of the muncipal ; court several times before he re- - vealed that Shepherd had come to | his school for a course in germ . study. Dr. Faiman denied having received ' a promise of leniency from State's Robert E. Crowe for his - confession and willingness to act as a prosecuting witness. William Scott Stewart, one of the defense counsel attempted to show Dr. Faiman had I received assurance of reward, j “The only thing Mr. Crowe prom ! ised me was that I would he given I consideration and that I would have la severance of trial," the witness declared. "What is your plea to the charge of murder?” shouted Stewart at Faiman. ‘Arc you going Io plead guilty or not guilty?". On the objection of Crowe, Judge Jacob Hopkins ruled out the question. A salesman for Dr. Faiman's school also an important prosecution witness. then took the stand. "What is your name?” Stewart ayked. "John I’. Marchand." was the reply. "I mean your real name.” "Patrick J* McManus.” “Why did you change names ' "Because my wife didn't like the first name.” A clash was narrowly averted when Stewart asked the witness whether he was a drug user. The witness showed great anger, denied the question. He also denied that he had two wives.
