He did it off the McClintock fortune.” Crowe went over Shepherd's entire history and seeking to show the jury that Shepherd had lived in anticipation of inheriting the $1,000,600 estate “Shepherd and his wife followed the widow McClintock and her five year old son. Billy, to Texas 16 years ago.” Crowe continued "He poisoned Mrs. McClintock's mind against the attorney which her deceased husband had appointed to guard the estate. Ho wanted to get the money in his own dutches.” Crowe then told of Mrs. McClintock’s death. He made no charge of murder against Shepherd for this death, but told the jury that Shepherd was “dancing with glee" when he learned Mrs. McClintock was dead and he was to be one of Billy's guardians. "Shepherd’s job was to raise the youngster. Billy, to manhood; a lawyer named Alexander Rdchmann was in control of the money," Crowe went on. “This arrangement wasn’t satisfactory to Shepherd. He didn’t love the boy. He didn t wgnt a son to love

It included murder—the coldblooded murder of an Innocent boy-rbut It would brink to Shepherd. That was the important thing.” Thia "plan of action.” Crowe declared. “coneisted of raising Billy the threshold of manhood and getting him to make a will." Then. Crowe charged. Shepherd committed the murder. “Ho couldn’t murder Billy before he wan 31 years of age. because he knew that in such a case, the money would go to Billy’s relatives," Crowe declared “And so he waited patiently—waited until Billy was of legal age—; and then on the very day that Billy was 21 he drew up the will himself, making himself tbe chief beneficiary. “The path was cleared for the murder That was the last obstacle in the way of the money.” Then Crowe traced the steps of the alleged murder.
