Shepherd Charges Conspiracy / Tour in Plot to Demolish Me/ Says Former Indianapolis Man,

By Ei'ward C. Derr United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 25.—Sagging wearily on a be ich In the “bull pen'' of the county Jail here, William D. Shepherd, charged with the murder of Billy McClintock, denounced the whole case as an attempt by four persons to “demoli.ih” him. The motive is to him of the McClintock estate valued at more than $1,000,000, Shepherd declared. “The State is not perse :uting nor prosecuting me,” he said. “There are four interested parties who are working with the State In a desperate attempt to demolish me. “I am not curcetly accusing any one now. But if you'll notice, conferring with the State’s attorneys are four men—Judge Olson, Alexander Reichman, Orville Taylor and John H. S. Lee. They all have a personal ax to grind. "Personal Spite” “Judge Olson’s Is personal spite. Reichman is working to keep Billy McCllntock’s money in the hands of the .Northern Trust Company, a firm ho represents as attorney. Taylor represents the nine cousins who had never shown any interest in the boy until his death. Lee — well, he’s Isabelle Pope's attorney.” Justice Harry Olson, long a friend of the McClintocks, instigated. the investigation which led to the murder indictment. Reichman was coguardian of Billy with the Shepherds. Miss Pope was engaged to Billy and was at the sickroom door wltTf - marriage license in hand ready for the ceremony when death came. "It's the money they want,” Shepherd insisted, stiffening with a Jerk that threw his shaggy mane of thick gray-brown hair straight In the air. "They’re All Liars” "Fosberg, Faiman and Marhcand —they’re all liars,” Shepherd continued. "I never saw them before. They must be crazy.” Dr. Charles C. Faiman, head of a bacteriological school, charged that Shepherd was given three tubes of typhoid fever germs with instructions for inoculating McClintock. Dr. George Fosberg charges Shepherd consulted with him regarding the effects of typhoid and other germs. Marchand, salesman for the germ school, testified he had seen the letter of inquiry Shepherd is alleged to written to the school, asking about a course in bacteriology. “I wont bail so I can get out and help fight this plot,” Shepherd said. “I can disprove the charges. They keep me cooped up here Just to break my morale. “Don’t let anybody tell you that there oje any high motives of justice back of this. It’s money they want and they think they can get the estate by ruining me.”
