By Edward C. Derr, (U. P." Staff Correspondent) Chicago, June 27.—The boundaries of the state of Illinois today were the only barriers between William Darling Shepherd and absolute freedom —and they may soon be lifted. Acquitted by a jury late last night of charges that he murdered his mil--1 lionaire ward, Billy McClintock, Shepherd returned to the palatial suburban residence that was Billy’s and for the first time in more than three' months, rested his massive head on something softer than a prison cot. By the permission of State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe, Shepherd signed his own bonds for $5,000 immediately after the verdict was returned and was allowed full liberty so long as he remained in Illinois. If Crowe decides to drop further action i against Shepherd on the charge that Ihe murdered Billy’s mother, Emma Nelson McClintock, 16 years ago, Shepherd will then be totally free. This, the state’s attorney indicated, he will do. I “God has been with me,” Shepherd declared after he heard the jury’s verdict. “God has heard and answer--4 I

ed my prayers and the prayers of my loving wife and our many friends. He alone knows how 1 have suffered." And then this middle aged man, pale and drawn from his long confinement in the county jail, smiled as he contemplated freedom. -Just to think that 1 don't have to go back to jail and lay myself down with criminals, with gunmen and cut throats,” he said. ”My only regret is that I must postpone my fishing trip. You know, 1 had planned a good vacation with plenty of fishing for diversion, but 1 must stay in the state a while longer. “Well, there’s some fishing in Illinois. Maybe 1 can have a vacation near home." The jury,’ which was sent to deliberate late in the afternoon, came into court and handed its verdict to the clerk. He opened it and read: •’We, the jury, find the defendant, William Darling Shepherd, not guilty." The last word .was drowned in a storm of shouts that issued from the throng. There were cheers and there were hisses. There were 200 people fighting their way to better positions. And above it all catne the boom. boom, boom of a score of newspaper cam eras, the flashlights sending a pall of dense blue smoke over the scene But Shepherd himself did not see that first outbreak. As the clerk finished reading the verdict, his grey head dropped and he mumbled a prayer of thanks. Then he walked to the jury box. He took the hand of each of the twelve men. "I want to thank you men for saving an innocent man from the dutches of his enemies.” he told each juror. Then he turned to Judge Thomas J l.ynib and thanked him for "conduct ing the trial in a fair and dignified manner.” By that time his friends were upon him, wringing his pudgy hand and slapping his massive shoulders. His attorneys were in a group by them selves, also accepting the congratu lations of their friends and admirers After 20 minutes of hysterics, the court roofn was cleared and Shep herd walked out to meet his wife Julie, who had remained away from court in order to avoid a possible collapse. The jurymen took six ballots. They stood 11 to 1 for acquittal from the start and on the last ballot swung over the one man who felt that some punishment should be meted out. o — HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Phillip Rash, of Decatur route two, returned to her home today from the Adams Couuty Memorial Hospit-
