Average price of twenty rails, 97.03. off 1.54. / Hu United Prraa NEW YORK, March 17.—Transactions were In heavy volume, and, while sizeable blocks of the leading stocks appeared In the initial trading, changes from the previous close were fractional. Advances and declines were about evenly divided and the tape indicated bids were present to absorb the overnight accumulation of selling orders at around the closing levels yesterday, which were the lows of the session's reaction. Selling pressure continued unabated in sticks around noon, with some issues suffering good sized recessions. General Electric at 261 was off *4. General Motors was also off % at 71. and American Can at 175% was off 1% points. Maxwell Motors "B" lost two points to 52 and Studebaker at 4154 was off 1%- Steel lost % to 120% and Cast Iron Pipe was off 1% to 20414. . ' Liquidation appeared to be largely from the West, where traders in wheat were attempting to cover their losses in the sharp break of that commodity by selling stocks. Announcement that President Coolldge had named John G. Sargent as attorney general was looked upon in Wall Street as furnishing a solution to the Washington tangle, and stocks rebounded sharply Just before noon. Steel recovered a point from It* low of 122 and St. Paul rallied more than a point to 14%. Local Bank Clearings Local bank clearings Tuesday amounted to $2,001,000. Banka debits were *0,780,000.

Warren Ave., taxi driver, sentenced in city court last Saturday by Special Judge Garrett W. Olds, on conviction of sale of intoxicating liquor, was brought into Federal Court today for examination before Judge Robert C. Baltzell to clear up circumstances of the conviction His case was to be heard this afternoon. Judge Baltzell indicated surprise when he ’earned Douglas had been sentenced to thirty days in jail and fined sl-%’ on a grand jury indictment in cltv court, although his case was set for next Monday In Federal Court. "We’re not going to do business that way,” J.i said "It Is peculiar that on the e re of his trial in Federal Court at ihould be sentenced In city cour..” Ira Ai. K ilmes, Douglas’ attorney, attempted to •explain that he had bad an undemanding with Federal prohibition agents regarding disposition of the case. Bert C. Morgan, Federal prohibition director for Indiana, flatly contradicted Holmes.

STATE TIGHTENS SHEPHERD GRIP (Continued From Page 1) sactlon,” Fa’man explained to his questioners. “I wanted to be sure a rope wouldn’t be tied around my neck,” —and he gave an unconscious gesture, swinging his arm about under his chin. ‘‘But Shepherd assured mp everything would be all right—that his servants were ‘fixed’ —that we would both be rich for life ts I helped him. "He told me there was a million dollars in the deal. He said to me ‘you go along and help, and you’ll he rich beyond your wildest, your most fanciful dreams’. Accuses Faces Shepherd

“Yes, you did—you know you did,” Falman barked, wheeling upon Shepherd as the accused man littered a denial. "Well, I went along, I gave him the tubes of baccilll. I told him how to Inoculate the boy. I told him how to do it so that, even If the work took several months, It would spell certain death in the end.” Just as the examination of Falman was finished and officers were taking him to a hotel for some sleep, the little doctor decided to add another detail to his story. “I ought to tell you,” he said, “that Shepherd promised me SIOO,OOO for the germs and my advice.” Dr. Falman, clean shaven and polished w(ien he was first taken Into custody, was completely broken by his ordeal. His hands rubbed nervously over his stubbled face as he related Incident ofter Incident of his relations with Shepherd. He was near collapse when he was taken back to the hotel room. Crowe Says Case Is Strong “This Is the last link In our chain of evidence against Shepherd,” Crowe declared positively when the examination of Falman had been ended. “We have more than enough evidence to obtain the murder indictment. We have a mighty strong case for the trial.” Judge Harry Olson, chief justice of the Chicago municipal court and instigator of the Investigation Into young McCllntock’s death. Is to testify before the grand jury before the true bill is voted. Olson charges that Shepherd has plotted for many years to get the McClintock fortune. Miss Pope, after testifying at the Inquest, left Chicago to regain her health. She is now in California, but will return If necaeary to testify against Shepherd. She claims he did everything In his power to prevent her marriage to McClintock. Faiman’s confession was taken down by shorthand reporters and was transcribed today. It was an amazing revelation of his relationship with Shepherd, the Inception of the plot and the execution. “Some time after McClintock was sick, Shepherd came to me,” Falman said. “He was very excited, saying that the doctors were vaccinating McClintock and he was afraid it might counteract the germs he had administered. “I |told him not to worry, that the boy was too far gone—that death was certain. “I studied his face and when I told that -his nervousness disappeared. He relaxed. He seemed satisfied. There was no evidence of remorse.” Falman then told of Shepherd’s vla}t to his university shortly after McCllntock's death. “He came out to get the letter he had written to me—the letter in which he sought to enroll In my school. I showed him my flies and he Jerked the letter out. “ ‘That letter Is worth something to me’, I told Shepherd. I asked him where the hell I came in at. “ ‘What the hell do you want?’ Shepherd asked me. “I told him I thought my servloes were worth two hundred gr.-,nd. Agree Upon Payment “He laughed and said I shouldn't be ridiculous. He said he hadn’t got McClintock'* money yet. “And so I compromised and said he should give me SIOO,OOO. “That suited him better and he said ‘everything will be taken care of.’ ” Following Faiman’s complete confession, Crowe’s staff tried to get Shepherd to talk, but his experience as an attorney and the .advice of legal counsel he has retained frustrated their efforts. Shepherd Is being at a downtown hotel, a staff of detectives standing guard over him. Until Falman made his confession, Shepherd laughed at the charges against him. Calls Falman Liar Today, however, his manner was changed. He stubbornly refused to be Interviewed and In reply to all questions he repeated: “He’s a liar—a damned liar.” Detectives Are Held ( t Following reports that private detectives employed by Shepherd had tried to Intimidate, made propositions to John P. Marchand, employe of Falman, and tried to kidnap Dr George E. Fosberg of Falman's school, Fosberg, Crowe ordered a raid on Jones, line., detective*, where a brother of John Jones, owner and three other men were arrested. The office records were slelzed. None of the men admitted knowledge of ac tlvlties in behalf of Shepherd. John Jones was not found. Mrs. Shepherd, who, like her husband, refused to testify at the coroner’s Inquest, Monday gave out an Interview through her husband’s new attorney. William Scott Stewart, who, it Is said, believes In getting his dent’s side to the public. She told of her great love for McClintock and declared preposterous the theory that Shepherd administered typhoid germs to the boy. Chief Justice Harry Olson, of Chicago Municipal Court, spent hours with Crowe last night outlining what he terms the fifteen year conspiracy by Shept rd to get the McClintock fortune. Mother’s Death Suspicious He declared that seventeen years ago Shepherd began to scheme and Ingratiate himself with Mrs. Emma McClintock, widowed raothsr of Billy. Mrs. McCllntock’s deathwwa s sus-

picious. he said. Mrs. Shepherd became guardian for Billy with an allowance of SI,OOO a month for his maintenance. Dr. Oscar Olson, brother of the judge, was a friend of the McClintock’s and Billy’s physician. The judge said hi3 brother distrusted the Shepherds and intended to warn Billy, Dr. Olson died suddenly a few hours after Shepherd visited him. The Shepherds prevented Billy's marriage to Miss Isabelle Pope three days befor* hid death, Olson said. Miss Pope received an SB,OOO annuity under the will. A statement by Jerome Matlllo of Indianapolis, a relative by marriage of Mrs. Shepherd, was read to the grand jury today. Matillo went to Texas fourteen years ago with Shepherd and his brothel Treston to build a Bun galdw for Mrs. McClintock. Mrs. McClintock told him, the statement says, that she was going back to Chicago to see an attorney and “that she wasn’t satisfied with , the way things were going.'* Workmen at the bungalow hadn’t been paid, she told him. Shepherd, she said, offered to go to Galveston with her, but she refused to allow him. Mrs. McClintock arrived home in a dying condition, Matlllo said, In the statement. Friends In Custody Miss Ruby Peel and Mrs, J. D. Davidson of Albuquerque, Mex., who arrived here today In response to a message from Shepherd were taken into custody by officers and driven to Crowe's office. The officers said Crowe Wanted to question them. The Shepherds went to Albuquerque a few days after McClintock died to recuperate. Shepherd wired the women to come here and help defend him, It was stated.
