Believe Shepherd Caused Deaths Os Other Persons’ Chicago. Mar. 26—(Special to j Daily Democrat) —A petition asking for an order to exhume the bodies of Dr. Oscar Olson and Mrs. Emma McClintock was prepared today by the state's attorney's'office in the hunt for further evidence against William I' Sitepherd. charged with killing his ward. Billy McClintock. Dr. Olson. for many years a friend of the McClintock family, died three years ago. Mrs. McClintock, mother of Billy, died 16 years ago.

Shepherd today was assigned to a permanent cell in ! th • county jail where he. must reaiuun pending his trial by a jury. Shepherd, accused of murdering his foster son, Billy McClintock, by inoculating him with typhoid germs so that he might inherit the boy's million dollar estate, took his defeat ' with an utter absence of rejection. "Well boys, I lost out. I guess I'll : be with you a long time,” he said to I tho jail clerk- as he returned from the court hearing to his cell in the custody of two guards. Judge Jacob Hopkins, chief justice of the criminal court, ruled that Shepherd should not be allowed his freedom on bond btW must be held in jail until the trial. The court's decision cema after four days of bitter argument between State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe and Kls staff assistants and counsel for Shepherd. William Scott Stewart, chief of Shepherd's legal staff, made a final plea that his client should be admitted to bail when it was rejected, seemed less discouraged than Shepherd. "'l'll curry this matter to a higher court.” he. said, indicating he would take the ebso to the Illinois supreme court. Standing in the same spot where he appealed for the death sentence for Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb last summer, Crowe delivered a strong closing argument against bail for Shepherd. He likened Billy McClintock to a "Lamb being fattened for the slaughter," declaring that Shepherd "maliciously planned to ! murder the lamb and got. his mope' ”. ‘ I This is a conspirmy that shocks and stuns human umlcrsl-imling." Crowe declared. "It is a wierd. coldblooded, dastardly murder. "Shepherd had the opportunity, control, malice, premeditanon ami th a 1 fiendish, devilish purpose to possess 1 himself of the fortune of’McClintock". ■ Judge Hopkins, in anmiun'c’.'-; his decision, pointed otrlf’ Quit the proseention had the testimony of Dr. Charles Falman, head of the National University of Sciences, -that ho bad ,' given Shepherd the typhoid germs i with intsructioir; as to how to use': them on the jotptg man. “If thin man's : lory j, true," th" court raid.. 'then he and Hhepbera : entered into an inexm>.•<?<• bolical conspiracy and cruelly eve- i cuted the murder of the boy. I “The law says we must scrutinize closely the testimony of an accotn- i plice, yet I believe that is th? pro- 1 vince of the jury. "The most 1 can hold out for this defendant is assurance pl a speedy t trial if he wishes it. but under the circumstances l am compelled to find 1 that trial .Fated.” $
